Windows setup for homes and businesses
New Computer Setup
A new computer often needs more than switching it on. Quarm can configure and secure your Windows computer, transfer appropriate data, and help get applications, email, printers, and other services working.
A better start with your new PC
Setup for the way you use it.
This service is for UK home users and small businesses, including existing Quarm customers. Whether you are replacing a computer or adding one for a new member of staff, the setup can be planned around how it will be used.
Quarm can help recommend and supply suitable hardware where required. If you have already bought a computer, Quarm can set that up too.
What setup can cover
Practical help, from first start to final checks.
Depending on your needs, the computer, and the work agreed, setup can include:
- Initial Windows setup and configuration
- Windows updates
- Microsoft 365 or Office installation and configuration
- Email setup and configuration
- Transfer of accessible documents and user data from an old computer
- OneDrive and SharePoint setup
- Security software setup
- Appropriate Windows security configuration
- User accounts
- Printers and scanners
- Network and Wi-Fi
- Browser and common applications
- Backup setup and checks
- Existing business applications where licences and installers are available
- Post-setup testing
For your team
Replacement PCs and new starters.
For a small business, setting up a replacement PC or an additional computer for a new starter can include appropriate Microsoft 365, security, company data, and user access setup.
The work is agreed for each device and person, so the right accounts and services are ready for their role.
Files and applications
Transfers depend on access and licences.
Quarm can transfer appropriate documents and user data only where the old device and that data are accessible. What can be moved depends on access to the computer and files.
Applications cannot always be moved by copying them. Some software needs reinstalling and may require your existing licence or subscription details. Existing business applications can be set up where licences and installers are available.
Practical security
Set up with sensible protection.
- Use supported software and keep Windows and applications updated.
- Set up or check appropriate malware protection.
- Configure suitable user and administrator access.
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for relevant cloud services.
