Migration to a new PC in Valbonne & Sophia-Antipolis
New PC or Mac in Valbonne or Sophia-Antipolis? I transfer your environment exactly as it was: documents, software, dev environment, email, passwords, bookmarks. You pick up exactly where you left off. At home, at your desk, or collected to the workshop in Le Cannet.
For a tech-savvy clientele like Sophia's, a botched migration wastes precious time: a dev environment to reconfigure, licences, access, certificates... I transfer everything cleanly so you're up and running from the very first boot on the new machine.
I transfer: documents and media, software and licences, email and accounts (Outlook/Thunderbird, bookmarks, passwords), and for technical profiles, the working environment (tools, configurations, access). PC→PC, PC→Mac or Mac→Mac. I speak English with international residents if needed.
On-site at home, at your desk, or collected to the workshop (15 min). Allow 2 to 4 h depending on the volume. Free diagnostic, firm quote, 3-month guarantee. €15 call-out fee under €80.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also migrate a dev environment?expand_more
Yes, as far as possible: tools, configurations, variables, access, keys. I document what does not transfer automatically so that you reconfigure the bare minimum. A common case in Sophia.
I'm moving from a PC to a Mac (or vice versa)?expand_more
Yes, that's common in the sector: documents and photos migrated, software equivalents set up, email and cloud reconnected. Training included.
Do you handle the migration in English?expand_more
Yes — migration and training in English no problem for the international residents of Valbonne and Sophia.
Is the call-out to Valbonne/Sophia charged for?expand_more
A €15 fee under €80 of work, included beyond that. Dropping both machines off at the workshop avoids this charge.
What do I do with the old machine?expand_more
Keep it as a backup, give it away after a secure wipe, or recycle it. I can also buy it from you if it has value (common for the recent kit in Sophia).
