FAQ

Windows Installation FAQs

Common questions about our OS installation service in Basingstoke.

No — we always back up your important files before performing any reinstall. Documents, photos, music, email data and browser data are all backed up first, then restored once the new installation is complete. We'll go through exactly what you want to keep before we begin.

In most cases, no. Modern PCs purchased with Windows have a digital licence tied to the motherboard, which activates automatically after a reinstall. If your licence isn't found, we can advise on obtaining a genuine licence at a competitive price.

A clean Windows installation typically takes 2–4 hours including driver setup. If we're also backing up and restoring a large amount of data, it may take a little longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you drop off your machine.

Yes — if your hardware meets Microsoft's requirements (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and compatible CPU), we can upgrade you to Windows 11. We check compatibility first, and if your PC doesn't meet the requirements, we'll let you know what options are available.

Yes. We can boot from USB installation media to perform a fresh Windows install even if the existing operating system is completely non-functional. We'll also diagnose whether the issue is software-related or if there's an underlying hardware problem.

Programs generally cannot be migrated during a clean reinstall and will need to be reinstalled. We can reinstall common applications such as Office, Chrome, and other software during the setup process. We'll discuss which applications you need before we begin.
