Migration to a new PC in Mougins
Changing PC in Mougins? For remote workers and residents of Mougins-le-Haut, Notre-Dame-de-Vie or Tournamy, I transfer your old environment exactly as it was onto the new PC: documents, programs, company VPN configuration, emails, passwords. Migration in the evening or at the weekend so your work is not interrupted.
In Mougins, the dominant profile for migrations is the remote worker: they have just bought a more powerful PC, but they do not fancy spending their weekend reinstalling everything, nor risking a work outage on Monday morning. My migration service is designed for exactly that: home visit, ideally in the evening or at the weekend, full transfer, tests with you, and you start up on Monday exactly as before.
What I transfer as standard: documents (Desktop, Documents, project files), software with its licences (Office, Adobe, industry suite), settings (browser bookmarks, Outlook/Thunderbird emails, saved passwords), professional configuration (company VPN, SSH clients, certificates, remote access), visual environment (shortcuts, organisation, multi-monitor).
For families and private individuals in Mougins, a more relaxed visit with patient training on the new Windows 11 features (if you are coming from Windows 10). I take the time to explain, and you see the PC working before I leave. Complete discretion, as expected in Mougins-le-Haut or Notre-Dame-de-Vie.

Frequently asked questions
I am working remotely on Monday morning — can you migrate this weekend?expand_more
Yes, it is actually my favourite slot for professionals in Mougins. Visit on Saturday or Sunday, and you start up on the new PC on Monday morning without a break. Do mention when booking that it is a work PC so I can prepare the right process.
My company VPN and client access — can they be transferred?expand_more
Yes, that is standard. For VPNs such as Cisco AnyConnect, Fortinet, OpenVPN, WireGuard: reinstall and import the profiles. For client certificates: clean retrieval and import. Connection test at the end of the visit to validate it.
I am moving from a PC to a Mac — do you handle that too?expand_more
Yes, common in Mougins (plenty of creatives and freelancers migrate to Mac). Migration of documents and photos, setting up Pages/Numbers or Office for Mac, Mail.app instead of Outlook, iCloud instead of OneDrive. Allow 3-5h on site depending on volume.
Can my old software (Office 2016, Photoshop CS6) be transferred?expand_more
Often yes, if you have the key. Old Office versions (2013-2019) and Adobe CS6 still run on Windows 11 in 90% of cases. For Adobe CC or Office 365 subscriptions, I simply reconnect you.
What do I do with the old PC?expand_more
Three options: (1) keep it as a backup for 3-6 months, (2) give it to a relative after cleaning and a clean fresh install (often requested: a recycled work PC for the kids), (3) free eco-friendly recycling that I take care of.
Mougins: new PC with no interruption, transfer done on site.
