Migration to a new PC in Vallauris and Golfe-Juan
New PC bought in Vallauris or Golfe-Juan? Before you use it, I transfer your old environment exactly as it was: documents, programs, passwords, bookmarks, emails, photos. You start up exactly as before. Patient guidance included — particularly useful for retired people discovering Windows 11.
In Vallauris and Golfe-Juan, the most frequent migration I handle is the ageing family PC replaced by a brand-new one: the main machine is 6-8 years old, no longer runs Windows 11, and the owner (often a retiree or a parent) has just bought the replacement. They are afraid of losing everything, afraid of the new interface, afraid of no longer finding their bearings. My migration service sorts all of that in a single visit.
What I transfer as standard: documents (Desktop, Documents, family photos, personal folders), software (Office, browser, antivirus, specific programs), settings (browser bookmarks, emails, saved Wi-Fi passwords), visual environment (wallpapers, folder organisation, shortcuts).
For Vallauris and Golfe-Juan, home visit (travel included from €60), with patient training on the new Windows 11 features if you are coming from Windows 10: new centred Start menu, reorganised settings, changed shortcuts. I take my time, I explain without jargon, and you leave comfortable. It is this service that makes the difference for my senior clients.
