Dropped my Samsung Tab A 10.1 to get the screen and charger port fixed and was ready to pay a hefty price for it but was surprisingly done for a cheap price and repaired very quickly. Definitely recommend to anyone

Have been buying from here for several years. You get a personal and great level of customer service.
Prices are rock bottom for some quality equipment. Any issues later and you are looked after well. Have spent £100's here and will continue to do so.

Reviews about «Console Wizard»
All round good service, phoned in the morning travelled from Hyde. Took them about a 45min whilst I was in a cafe round corner, very welcoming, the staff are great I could of stayed there all day talking about consoles.
job was at a professional standard and now I have a Gears of War rgh console I'm feeling very happy and now I'm going to go and tinker.
thanks guys
If anyone says anything bad about these guys then it's clearly not true as I leave a lot of reviews and this comes as genuine.
2019.08.15 13:14
Called today to get a new screen for my grandson's I-phone. The person said that the member of staff who did mobile repairs was on holiday, but recommended a nearby rival. I did visit the other company, who were excellent, but I wish to record my thanks for the helpful and honest advice. I am impressed and will use this company on a future occasion. Old fashioned customer service at its best. Thanks.
2019.04.16 12:55
I have had several screen repairs done here. They are fast and professional. They are also at the end of the phone for questions.
2019.08.02 20:47
Could not be more helpful and PATIENT! Would recommend without hesitation to anyone with a computer problem. Mark and his staff first rate.
2019.06.17 15:24
Repaired my PS3 60GB model with a re-ball which still works a few months later.
A few seemingly shady things (my opinion) happened though during the repair.
1) My drive was busted too apparently. I doubt this was unfixable but they only offered to replace at a charge of £30 and refused to send me back the 'broken' drive, Replacement drive seems to not work great either, when used vertically some disks aren't recognized but as I rarely use this PS3 by the time i noticed the warranty had lapsed.
2) My case came back busted off the top and patched up by double sided sticky tape, when I questioned it they said it had arrived like that with them. If that's true then fine but you'd think they'd contact the customer to inform them that their device had arrived busted instead of a patch repair and return without informing the customer.
Small company so maybe what I'm looking at with suspicion is only poor communication but something that needs to be worked and my original requested repair of a re-ball is still working as expected, there aren't many quality repair services in the UK so I hope

Reviews about «Hi-Tech Fones & Computers»
Took my partners iphone 6s in today at 3.20pm for a new screen and home button replacement. 3.50pm I was on my way home with what looks like a brand new phone. Thank you for such friendly great service at such a great price .
2019.06.29 15:04
Sorry about my late review I don't usually post them, but this company Hi-Tech Fones & Computers were fantastic. I am disabled and when my laptop needed repairing my wife caught two buses to their shop in Farnworth taking to be fixed. They did the repair required the same day at a very reasonable cost and one of the brothers who own the company returned it to my house that evening free of charge as he didn't want my wife to have to go all the way back again to pick it up. I call that great customer service and now I would like to recommend them to people needing repairs to their tech equipment to use them without any worries. I am quite sure you will be more than pleased The two brothers were extremely well mannered and a pleasure to deal with. I hope this review is of help to you when you need a reliable and quick service or repair.
I give them 5***** and it is well justified. Ray, of Tonge Moor, Bolton.

Reviews about «Currys PC World Featuring Carphone Warehouse»
Impressed with this store. Dealt with 2 employees called Simon and Andrew and both gave superb advice . Left to browse at my leisure and always answered any questions I had. Ended up buying a laptop off them. Thanks.
2019.07.19 15:43
Bought a £200 smart watch and purchased the £50 care plan, which covers you for 5 years, 3 months after purchase the watch needs to go in for repair, the run around that I've had is ridiculous. 10-28 days it will take, I then have to remind them that I bought the care plan which I get the watch repaired in 7 days or they will provide a replacement or a voucher to the equivalent amount, i went back into store today and they say they have to send an email to the repair team to issue the voucher, this could take another 3 days, we then rang up the repairs team and they said they need to wait for the email from the store which they then pass onto their chase team which will then text me the voucher, I also found out today that the sale of my watch has been discontinued in their store, I only found this out on the website, they didn't inform me of this.
You would think that buying their £50 care plan would speed things up a bit, but no, there is no urgency at all. I will not be buying anything again from currys, utterly dissapointed with the service I have received.
2019.08.12 19:23
Limited range of products, although the shop is big, the actual products are from only a handful of manufacturers. Common low and mid-range products belonging to Dell, HP, some Lenovo, but all at a much higher price than can be found online, which is not the stores fault, but the business as a whole. Staff standing around in groups talking to each other so you feel like you are interrupting with a question, rarely do we go to buy here- it's mainly to see an item in person that we are interested in, hold it etc, then go away and purchase elsewhere for even half the price they try to sell for. Used to love PC World, but it's getting left behind with the times.
2019.06.09 14:23
Edward and Ivana were really helpful. Edward has great knowledge and gave some great advice and info about the Tvs. Overall 10/10 customer service from both of them. Thanks again. Like Arni once said "I'll be back"
2019.06.19 16:59
Sales Assistant who dealt with my request for laptop to meet very specific requirements did so professionally without any sales pressure and with a very sound knowledge of the subject matter. I was very impressed with him and with the service. Not fired it up yet mind but one assumes it will work when I do. I would recommend using this store. Very good selection of readily available stock. A pleasing experience and nice to deal with someone face to face as well. People will live to regret the decline of the high street if they insist on shopping on line.

Used to be a great little shop, now half the shelves are empty and shop isn't open as times show. Randomly leave signs in the window saying they will open again later. Not very helpful when you have walked over to sort out parcels with your children!

This was the only way I can say about class one customer service - each time I go in.

Standard of service provided to me being top notch.
What more can I say eh!.
Bad news on the premises - the premises closes in approx two weeks time.

Reviews about «Post Office»
I would like to thank Christine for making my very first experience at the post office exceptional. I was tasked with posting a bunch of items ( which I had never done before ) and fell in to a bit of a conundrum. Christine helped me overcome my challenges efficiently and very effectively.
Thanks Christine!
2019.09.13 11:43
Very obnoxious and arrogant Asian lady served me, This is what happens when you franchise a once loved and good service from the Royal Mail. Sadly those times have gone. I will never return to this Post Office again. It is not the first time I have been here and treated with utter contempt. Never Again.
2019.11.29 19:49
Absolutely disgraceful!
I’m hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. I rely on what I see and read to direct me to where I am going.
On entry to the new Bolton general post office on oxford street (an embarrassment to the post former office).
There was a man selling cigarettes to my left at a kiosk. Further up on my left was the postal service area that was completely unmanned. Directly ahead of me was the currency exchange and a staff member called Christine behind the glass.
I waited at the postal service wait hear sign and after a a wait the man shouted at me: “you wanna be served you come here!” I said that disappointed that nobody was staffing the postal service area and he shouted st me in front of customers and staff telling me I should calm down. I’m not a mind reader and I depend on directions. The lady at the money exchange was equally as rude: giving me a dressing down in front of staff and customers asking; “how are we to know that you are deaf!?”
Perhaps all people with disabilities should were a big signs around their necks describing their conditions!
I got the feeling that No matter what I was concerned about the staff here were not interested in listening.
As I passed over my parcel I gave her a certificate of online postage that needed to be stamped to validate proof of postage.
To my utter dismay She then slammed my parcel into a collection sack!
She spoke down to me again shouting “you can’t have a stamp!”
I tried to explain that eBay required it as proof that I posted my parcel. She then ripped my receipt off the letter and stamped it with the stamp.
I asked for my receipt and she asserted: “you can have one or the other but not both!” You might say you posted two parcels “”Really!?””
As I walked away I caught the lady removing my parcel out of the sack and then she threw it into another sack. Concerned that something was wrong I asked what she was doing with my parcel. She reasoned that she had put it in the wrong bag by mistake.
My parcel was removed from first class posted into the second class sack. I explained I had paid first class and she simply said “it will still get there”.
As I walked away I approached the man who was rude to me at the beginning and explained that I was hard of hearing. He was obnoxious and arrogant snubbing me.
I was by now very annoyed and said to him “don’t you ever speak to me like that again”.
My main concerns are that my parcel may well be damaged if staff here are throwing it around the way Christine did and I am also concerned that my parcel will not even arrive. There is something very sinister going on here and I simply do not have any trust or confidence in this post office or with its staff.
Last but not least if you have a disability that isn’t clearly labeled upon your person then prepare to be treated rudely and abruptly; don’t trouble these people with your problems!
There is no telephone number to complain on any longer and the number you do find is totally automated.
They take your money and then completely ignore you and any concerns you might have.
I don’t recommend this Post Office or it’s atrociously bad staff attitude toward people with disabilities.
I just hope my parcel arrives on time and in one piece!
Absolutely dreadful!

Under charge post causing the receiver to have to pay for their items. Lost items in the past and the lady serving can rude and arrogant. On one occasion she crossed out my post code saying it didn't exist, I told her it did. She left it crossed out and I had to phone parcel force to amend it, apparently she didn't look for the post code on page 2 where she would have found it.

A regular friendly post office and off license pop in every now and then and has a cash point.
2019.12.07 21:19
It doesn't instill confidence that the website suggests they are open until 6.00pm on Saturdays and it closes at 12-30.
2019.02.09 13:32
Ok, so I hate leaving bad reviews and this isn't anything against the staff working there who are absolutely fine. But numerous times over the last few months I've turned up at this branch to post items (I run a small business, so taking time out to go to the Post Office is normally planned into my day) only to find it closed. During the day, during opening hours. Today was 'system update' according to the sign on the door. Normally though I've found it closed with people outside no one with any idea what is going on. A few times we have found out it is something to do with the cash point inside. This really is NOT ON.
2018.09.19 11:44
the owner is rude and obnoxious
want be going to that post office
2019.07.22 08:16
Worst person I’ve ever met works in here what a character she is, so arrogant and snotty, I went in to collect a parcel force parcel that failed delivery to my wife with my ID as it’s against the law for me to carry anyone else’s as that’s a form of fraud, only to be told by said woman that I have the wrong ID I tried to explain that no it was me in the picture and I don’t carry out fraudulent activities but she said the note is addressed to my wife not me. Instead of just explaining to me that it’s parcel forces policy which I found out on the phone to parcel force she gave me loads of abuse and the treatment I received from her was heart breaking if I could put an official complaint in about her i would, my wife has just gone to collect it 5 days after failed delivery and she has sent it back to the depo. How do people like that sleep at night? Certainly won’t be putting any money through parcel force or that post office in the future horrible people

Reviews about «Chorley Old Road Post Office»
Just wanted to post this review as I found the lady serving yesterday at this post office one of the most rude and aggressive members of staff I have dealt with in a long time!
I had the misfortune of being served by the older Asian lady with a head scarf (approx 50 yr old lady at 2:30pm 1st July 2019).
I only popped in to pick up a parcel, a quick and easy transaction (you would think) but was treated so poorly by this dragon that I will ensure I have my parcels delivered else where in future!
2019.07.02 11:55
The worst post office in Bolton, like other customers i have found the staff very rude, its nice to be greeted with a smile and a good morning/afternoon and to help people with there requirements.
2019.12.11 16:40
A vulnerable pensioner I know went to this post office to put money on their electric key. When this person got home the top up didn't work.
This person rang the post office straight away to ask for advice on what to do . The man who answered the phone was very nasty and said it's not our problem ring your electricity company and just put the phone down.
This person was clearly very upset.
I understand the post office can't do anything but the way this vulnerable person was treated is disgusting . Just some empathy and manners would of prevented someone from getting so up set.
Considering a majority of people who use a post office are vulnerable people I strongly suggest customer service training is very much needed in this post office .
2018.10.30 00:18
This is my closest post office but sadly I go out of my way to avoid it because of how rude and unpleasant the staff treat customers.

Excellent service today from Wendy.

Great service and a lovely bank inside. Appointments run on time and queues are never too long. Highly recommended them if you are local

Really helpfully from ringing customer services, call back from local branch and setting up account at Bolton.

Whilst the banking system may not be what it used to be when it was Northern Rock, the staff are very communicative on all aspects of business

Reviews about «Halifax»
Whenever i have gone into my local Halifax branch i have never felt that they have been very helpful. I have always seemed to get alot more help whenever i have rang their freephone number & spoke to one of their advisors on the phone. I have been with Halifax for over 22 years so it can't be all bad

I have been with this building society for over 20 year's & I understand that they have to be catious & safe when it comes to people wanting to draw money out of an account when they don't have any identification but i sent my partner to put some money in my account but because i hadn't given him any sort of I.d they refused to do it. Why refuse him when he was paying money into my account? I don't understand it. I have also tried to change the address on my account as it's in my mother's address but i no longer live there but they wouldn't do that for me either even though i could answer all the security questions. I have to keep going to my mums to collect my mail I.e my bank statements. I will say one thing they do try to help they always have a member of staff asking people who are in the queue if they can help so they don't have to stay in the queue if it's something that another member of staff can help with your query.

An attendant of middle Eastern descent ignores customers who are quite obviously looking at him in need of service ; instead of doing his job, he's having a conversation that is not work or customer service related at all.
When he did get to me after an hour of waiting, he said that I need an appointment to switch my account; despite the website stating you DON'T need one, and one of the management team telling me to just come in with all my ID any day and they'll switch right there and then.
The attendant started being disrespectful and insisted that I need an appointment, despite me showing him that the website says otherwise.
If he was wearing his name tag I'd make a formal complaint against him, as he's unprofessional and obviously uninformed.

Made a visit to the Halifax Bolton branch to pay in a cheque only to find the branch closed for refurbishment, a wasted journey. No indication of this on their website even though the had known for months this work was going to be done.

A young lady who's surname was Bailey ( I forget the Christian name) attended to me and my son. What a lovely young lady, very friendly and polite, an absolute credit to the branch.

Reviews about «Nationwide Building Society»
I wouldn't recommend opening a Help to Buy ISA here. My partner was with Halifax and got an instant transfer of funds when closing the account including the final statement on the spot... Went to close at Nationwide, and we have to wait 5-7 days for the closing statement and either receive the money via cheque of pay £20 to transfer it electronically. Not sure what other banks are like but the Halifax experience was much better.
2019.10.14 10:19
Came here to open an account 2 months ago. Was told they would send out passbook on a Monday.
Waited 2 weeks and called. Same guy said he would post it out that day as had issues previously
Waited another 2 weeks and called. A different woman told me it was posted that morning
Finally called after another 2 weeks and was told it would be going out that evening
It finally arrived 7 weeks after my initial going into the branch
2018.10.16 07:17
Spoke to suzanne at branch. What a knowleable helpfull lady. We were made comfortable and given simple information with no hard sell. Helped us decide on a plan which will be right for us. Overall a great branch which she enhances.

Reviews about «NatWest»
Staff are all lovely, and do not rush you, but there are simply not enough counters. Even when all 4 counters are staffed it is not enough because I still had to wait 20 minutes. This is normal whatever day or time I go in.
You cannot ring this bank directly which is a problem.
The staff and manager go well out of their way to assist disabled people.
2019.07.14 09:02
Always under staffed. Long wait!
Its like you have come on a match day to buy tickets.
They have already closed so many branches and that’s the only branch in this zone. There are three positions at counter but there is mostly just one person to serve and twenty people in queue.
It seems management doesn’t care at all.
2019.02.20 12:21
I want a personal service not a machine
2019.04.19 11:06
The new ‘modern’ system doesn’t work. There’s loads of machines and iPads but no one wants to use them so there’s a massive queue to speak to an actual person. If I wanted to use an iPad I’d do it at home. Some of the staff didn’t seem particularly helpful and they also seemed really understaffed for a Saturday. I was served by a lady called Wendy who was really fab. Hire more Wendy’s... lose the tech!

Won't be so smart when they lose there jobs and as for the manager what a waste of a title

Useless bank

Always had a wonderful experience with this bank. Excellent staff from all back grounds. Customers give them a head ache but they still get on with their good service. One of the few banks that still opens on a Saturday.
Really helped me with printing etc

2019.02.11 21:48
Too many staff and then they just want to point you to a machine to do the job, no personal service anymore. Swinton branch shut, Oxford Road Manchester shut and Salford shut. How can you pay cheques in anymore during the week when you have 30 mins lunch and the nearest branch is a 2hour road trip? Impossible.

Reviews about «Barclays Bank»
Visited the branch on 31st August and tried to catch the attention of floor operator/staff to discuss Credit Card details, an appointment or an offer for use in my business. When i did another customer pipped me to it so being polite i offered the gentleman to go ahead.
The floor attendant was abrupt in explaining he had 30 seconds to speak to us before he has to return to the 'self service' computers .(clues in the title). If i spoke to my customers in that manner id be out of business by the end of the year. The branch was busy, but... were all busy. Took my business elsewhere and was successful..
I left Barclays thinking forget it! Not worth the business.
2019.09.05 11:28
I wanted to deposit a cheque and make a withdrawal. First machine wasn't accepting cash deposits, but that was ok. Did the cheque deposit and then don't get the withdrawal option, grrrrr. Went through withdrawal rigmaroll on a second machine which finally decided it couldn't complete the transaction, grrrrrrrrr. Finally completed the withdrawal on a third machine, result! Customer service obviously not important to Barclays.
2019.03.23 20:02
I moved to Barclays from hsbc because they said they offered better service. What a lie!
A Tesco middlebrook cash machine under dispensed and my account was devoted straightaway. The amount withdrawn from my account could not have been withdraw by a cashmachine but only in branch.
I contacted Barclays straight away. The foreign guy did not understand me and was off no help. I went in to branch the staff there couldn’t be bothered and simply said an investigation will be carried out and is simply a waiting game!!! Nasty ignorant staff.
Ridiculous I am moving back to hsbc and would not recommended to bank with Barclays.
I have written to the financial Ombudsman Service and next is the papers!
2019.02.08 23:53
Have a mortgage application going through with them. Its very hard to rebook an appointment to see someone to complete the application.
I rang barclays a few times and everytime they say they will transfer you to to the correct department but then they cut the phone off.

Called in this afternoon with a new foreign language assistant from France to open a bank account. In spite of passport, driving licence, proof of previous address, tax declaration and a letter from the employer confirming address and salary was told that it wouldn't be possible to open an account as they would not recognise the Bolton educational establishment as an employer on their list in spite of the lady admitting that she drive past the entrance on her way to work every morning! When I asked if the employer could be added to the list was told that no one had authority to change the computer...went to HSBC who sorted an account out the same afternoon without any quibbles and with superb customer service.

It's the bank that helpful to many people
2019.05.18 13:23
The queue is often down to one or two people by the time that I tend to arrive at the Bolton branch after 4pm, and the staff behind the counter are usually few and far between, but friendly enough. Just one thing I wouldn't mind asking, though: Is it part of a new Lloyds policy to Americanise customer/employee interaction by having counter staff see you off with an over familiar "See you buddy" farewell, instead of the more traditional goodbye?
2018.11.30 19:31
Terrible service from cashiers rolling their eyes after a bank error even after I had switched banks forced me to come into branch and sort out.
Not helpful at all - thank goodness I switched !

If you bank NatWest and this is your nearest branch then don't bother banking at all, don't bother having a bank account just be old school.
2020.01.17 14:15
Absolutely shocking. Three serious mistakes in two months. It is interesting to read that another customer was short-changed as well. Me too. I paid in £6000 yet the cashier with £1000 bundles that had been counted, twice before getting to the bank. The money had not been left unattended and I travelled alone. The cashier started faffing near a bin and was acting shifty then proceeded to count the money that had been in her hand near the bin. Turned up £200 short. I complained immediately to the manager and I was made to feel like a school kid getting a telling off. Whilst I was being berated by the bank manager, I noticed the cashier had disappeared from near the tills so she had time to stash the money. I wonder if it is the same cashier? (Dark hair, fat). Then a few weeks later, I went to pay a business cheque clearly addressed to the business, and somehow the cashier paid it into the wrong account, thankfully though, head office reimbursed me for this one as I had an audit trail. MAKE SURE YOU COUNT YOUR CASH YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THEM BEFORE YOU HAND IT OVER.

Long queues, not enough cashiers on. I have been in 3 times over the last 2 days just to pay in some money but I have had to leave each time after 10 minutes of waiting as I did not have any more time to spare. They keep telling me they are getting cash machines that you can pay into - when??? And don't you think you should have the latest technology already?? I need to pay a bill by 3 pm today - I have just one more opportunity to go in this afternoon and get it done otherwise my credit score gets f***ed.
2019.07.17 12:12
This place is very discriminating against disabled people.
I have had mobility problems for a few years now and any cash needing banking was done by my carer.
Not everyone owns, nor wants to own, a car. My wheels are a wheelchair.
Now I can’t deposit cash nor cheques unless I go into the bank personally. Last week, they refused point blank, despite being reminded by my carer, again of my disability, to bank some cash meant to cover a direct debit due. (My disability payments go into this bank account, so no excuses) They also refused to change my address details when I moved, unless I went into the bank personally to do it (no proof needed, just my debit card used). Some people can get a ref number by text to quote over the phone to change their details. Unfortunately I was not one of those lucky ones.
I’m told it’s to prevent money laundering.
I believe it’s an excuse to have the customers do their work for them.

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
Windows backup and restore
You can create backups in Windows both with the system tools and third-party apps.
-
📝 File History
File History is meant to keep versions of all files in a certain folder or on a specific disk. By default, it backs up such folders as Documents, Pictures etc, but you can also add new directories as well.
-
🔄 System restore points
Restore points are the way to save copies of user folders, system files, registry and settings for a specific date. Such copies are either created manually or automatically when updates are installed or critical Windows settings are modified.
-
📀 Recovery image
A system recovery image allows you to create an image of the system drive (you can also include other drives if necessary). Speaking of such image, we mean a complete copy of the entire drive.
-
📁 Registry backup and restore
In addition to restoring user files, Windows gives you an opportunity to cancel any changes you may have made to the system registry.
-
📀 SFC and DISM
System files and libraries can be recovered with a hidden recovery disk by using the SFC and DISM commands.
-
🛠️ Recovering file system
Often, data can be lost because of a data carrier failure. If that is the case, you don’t have to rush to a PC repair shop; try to restore operability of the storage device on your own. If you see the “Please insert a disk” error, a device is recognized as having a RAW file system, or the computer shows a wrong disk size, use the Diskpart command:
-
👨💻 Restore system boot
If data was lost and now the operating system seems inoperable, and Windows can’t start or gets into a boot loop, watch this tutorial:
-
♻️ Apps for backup
Third-party backup applications can also create copies of user files, system files and settings, as well as removable media such as memory cards, USB flash drives and external hard disks. The most popular products are Paragon Backup Recovery, Veeam Backup, Iperius Backup etc.
Mac OS backup and restore
The backup is implemented with Time Machine function. Time Machine saves all versions of a file in case it is edited or removed, so you can go back to any date in the past and copy the files you need.
Android backup and restore
Backup options for Android phones and tablets is implemented with the Google account. You can use both integrated system tools and third-party apps.
Backup and restore for iPhone, iPad with iOS
You can back up user data and settings on iPhone or iPad with iOS by using built-in tools or third-party apps.
In 2024, any operating system offers multiple solutions to back up and restore data. You may not even know there is a backup in your system until you finish reading this part.

What steps should I take to back up my data before bringing my computer to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton?
Before bringing your computer to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton, it is essential to back up your data to ensure its safety. Here are the steps you should follow:
- Identify important files: Determine which files and folders are crucial for you to back up. These may include personal documents, photos, videos, music, and any other data you don't want to lose.
- External storage device: Purchase an external hard drive, USB flash drive, or use cloud storage services to store your data. Make sure the storage device has enough capacity to accommodate all your files.
- Organize and clean up: Sort through your files and delete any unnecessary or redundant data. This will help reduce the amount of data you need to back up and make the process more efficient.
- Copy files to external storage: Connect your external storage device to your computer and copy the selected files and folders onto it. You can do this by dragging and dropping the files or using backup software.
- Verify the backup: After copying the files, double-check to ensure that all the important data has been successfully transferred to the external storage device. Open a few files to confirm their accessibility and integrity.
- Create a backup of system files: If possible, create a system image or backup of your entire computer, including the operating system and installed programs. This will allow you to restore your computer to its previous state if needed.
- Encrypt sensitive data: If you have any sensitive or confidential information, consider encrypting it before backing it up. Encryption adds an extra layer of security to your data, protecting it from unauthorized access.
- Store backup securely: Keep your external storage device in a safe place, away from potential physical damage, theft, or data loss. If using cloud storage, ensure you have strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication for added security.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your important data is safely backed up before handing over your computer to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton.
How can I ensure that my personal information is securely removed from my computer before taking it to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton?
To ensure that your personal information is securely removed from your computer before taking it to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton, you can follow these steps:
- Backup your important data: Before handing over your computer, make sure to back up all your important files and data to an external hard drive, cloud storage, or another secure location. This ensures that you have a copy of your data in case anything goes wrong during the repair process.
- Encrypt sensitive files: If you have any sensitive files or documents on your computer, consider encrypting them using encryption software. This adds an extra layer of security and makes it more difficult for anyone to access your personal information.
- Delete personal files: Manually delete any personal files, documents, photos, videos, or other sensitive data from your computer. Be thorough and check all folders, including the recycle bin or trash, to ensure nothing is left behind.
- Format the hard drive: Formatting your computer's hard drive will erase all data on it. However, keep in mind that this process is irreversible, so make sure you have a backup of your important files before proceeding. You can format your hard drive using the built-in formatting tools provided by your operating system.
- Use data erasure software: Consider using data erasure software to securely wipe your entire hard drive. These tools overwrite your data multiple times, making it extremely difficult to recover any information. Examples of such software include DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke), CCleaner, or Eraser.
- Reinstall the operating system: After securely wiping your hard drive, reinstall the operating system from scratch. This ensures that any remaining fragments of your personal information are completely removed.
- Choose a reputable service provider: When selecting a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton, do your research and choose a reputable and trustworthy provider. Read reviews, ask for recommendations from friends or family, and inquire about their data security protocols to ensure your personal information will be handled with care.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of your personal information being accessed or recovered by unauthorized individuals while your computer is being serviced.
Are there any specific precautions or measures I should take to protect my computer and data during the transportation process to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton?
Yes, there are several precautions and measures you can take to protect your computer and data during the transportation process to a data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton:
- Backup your data: Before sending your computer for repair, make sure to create a backup of all your important files and data. This will ensure that even if something goes wrong during the transportation or repair process, you still have a copy of your data.
- Remove sensitive information: If possible, remove any sensitive or personal information from your computer before sending it for repair. This can include financial documents, personal photos, or any other confidential files. This will help protect your privacy in case your computer is accessed by unauthorized individuals.
- Encrypt your hard drive: If you have sensitive data on your computer and cannot remove it, consider encrypting your hard drive. Encryption will make it difficult for anyone to access your data without the encryption key, even if they gain physical access to your computer.
- Use a secure transportation method: When sending your computer for repair, choose a reputable courier service that offers secure transportation options. Ensure that the service provides tracking and insurance for your package to minimize the risk of loss or damage during transit.
- Remove peripherals and accessories: Before packing your computer for transportation, remove any peripherals or accessories such as external hard drives, USB drives, or memory cards. These items are not necessary for the repair process and can be kept safely with you to avoid any potential loss or damage.

- Choose a reputable service provider: Research and choose a reputable data recovery or PC repair service in Bolton. Read reviews, check their credentials, and ensure they have a good track record of protecting customer data and providing secure services.
By following these precautions and measures, you can minimize the risks associated with transporting your computer and protect your data during the repair process.
