Windows repair and clean reinstalls in Prague.
Won't boot, blue screens, updates stuck in a loop, or a machine so slow you've started planning its replacement. Fixed properly, with your files intact and an explanation of what went wrong.
Problems this covers
Is your laptop actually finished?
Usually not. A large share of machines people are ready to replace are running badly for fixable reasons: years of startup programs nobody removed, a drive that's full or failing, a bad driver, or an install that's simply accumulated too much. A clean reinstall on the same hardware often feels like a different computer.
If it isn't worth fixing, you'll hear that too. There's no sense charging you to nurse along a machine that needs replacing.
What a repair involves
- Diagnosis: working out whether it's software, storage, or something hardware-related that needs a workshop instead.
- Backup first: your files are secured before anything invasive happens, not after.
- Repair or reinstall: boot repairs, driver fixes and update problems get sorted in place where possible. Where an install is too far gone, a clean reinstall is the faster route.
- Drivers and updates: Wi-Fi, graphics, sound and printer all working before you get it back, not left as homework.
- Your files back: restored where they were, with your programs reinstalled.
- The explanation: what caused it, and what would keep it from happening again.
Repair or reinstall?
Repairing in place keeps your programs and settings, and it's the first thing to try. A clean reinstall wipes and starts fresh, which fixes almost anything software-related but means programs go back on afterwards. Which one applies depends on what the diagnosis turns up, and you'll be told which route it's taking and why before it happens.
Blue screen or boot error on screen right now?
Photograph it before restarting. The error code is the fastest way to narrow down the cause.
What Windows repair costs
Frequently asked
Will I lose my files if Windows is reinstalled?
No. Files are backed up before a reinstall and put back afterwards. If a drive is failing badly, the recovery odds are explained before anything is touched.
My laptop is slow. Do I need a new one?
Often not. Plenty of laptops written off as too old are fixed by clearing startup bloat, reinstalling cleanly, or replacing a tired drive. You'll get an honest answer on whether the machine is worth keeping.
What causes a blue screen error?
Usually a driver conflict, failing storage, or memory trouble. The error code narrows it down, so photograph the screen if you can before restarting.
Do you have a Windows licence, or do I need one?
Most machines have a licence tied to the hardware and reactivate on their own after a reinstall. If yours doesn't, that gets checked before work starts rather than discovered at the end.
Windows won't start at all. Is it fixable?
Frequently yes. Boot failures are often repairable without wiping anything, and even where a reinstall is needed, files can usually be pulled off the drive first.
How to get it sorted
- If there's an error code or blue screen, photograph it before restarting. That code often decides the whole diagnosis.
- Tell me the make and rough age of the machine. A six-year-old laptop and a six-month-old one point at different causes.
- Diagnosis decides repair or reinstall. You're told which route it's taking, and why, before anything is wiped.
Want me to take a look?
Send a photo of the screen or a sentence about what’s happening. You’ll hear back with what it takes and roughly what it costs, and that first read is free.
