Dear Valued Customer
I Thank You for the Opportunity to Be Your Computer Guy!
Not only do you get bargain prices but you also get over delivery on work done for you. This includes:
- Any repairs to physical damages to your computer.
- Upgrades to hardware when necessary or when requested.
- Windows OS (Operating System) instillation if needed.
- Any software instillation when you request.
- Bonus free software for maintenance and security to your computer.
The following is a summary of what is involved to get your computer up and running.
- First, a free PC Diagnostics determined what was ailing your computer, whether it was something simple or more involved.
- It was determined if any parts needed replacing. If so, the best most cost-effective way to get them was recommended.
- Any physical repairs needed were done making sure that your computer will turn on, operate, get and keep you online.
- Second, in most cases, if you could afford it, I recommended replacing a mechanical hard drive by upgrading to either an SSD or a NVMe M.2 drive.
- An SSD is 10 fasters than a mechanical hard drive. Instead of 40 to 50 MB per second read and write speeds an SSD runs at 400 to 500 MB per second read and write speeds.
- If you have a more current computer, I had recommended a NVMe M.2 drive. NVMe M.2s are 5 times faster than SSDs. Instead of 400 to 500 MB per second you get speeds in excess of 2000 to 3000 MB per second read and write speeds (or more).
- These two options will guaranty that you never suffer the agony of a slow computer.
- Third, in some cases, I have recommended purchasing a new (used) computer (Laptop) with a more recent manufacture date. In these cases, it was not worth the investment in old outdated technology when you could get something more current at the same or a little more cost than the repairs would be.
- Fourth, when needing a new Windows OS install.
- Windows 10 and 11 can be installed without needing a Microsoft account. Windows 10 makes this easy, with Windows 11 there is a work around for this. However…
- If you prefer I can setup a new Microsoft Account for you in order to install Windows. Having a Microsoft Account also guaranties getting the most Microsoft has to offer in terms of security and options.
- You can change this in Windows Security settings to a local account or if you have your own Microsoft account (or any other account – as a local account), you can change to that account.
- Fifth, I’ve also installed a few programs for maintenance, security and performance purposes. These include:
- CCleaner
- “Developed by Piriform, is a utility used to clean potentially unwanted files and invalid Windows Registry entries from a computer.”
- I recommend running CCleaner about once a month.
- You can view the YouTube video here explaining how to use CCleaner.
- You can redownload the CCleaner here.
- Malwarebytes
- “Malwarebytes is an anti-malware software for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Android, and iOS that finds and removes malware.”
- This is a World Class software used to catch what Microsoft Security software may miss.
- I put this Security software on all computers I repair.
- Malwarebytes runs in the background. You shouldn’t need to do anything with it. It should make you aware of anything that may compromise your computer. It will give the option to either Quarantine or Allow when it perceives a threat to your computer.
- However, if you are seriously infected you may run Malwarebytes to find the threat and quarantine and/or delete it.
- You can view the YouTube video here explaining how to use Malwarebytes.
- You can redownload Malwarebytes here.
(These two programs CCleaner and Malwarebytes have a 30-day trial period. This is good. However, they will present you with the option to purchase them. CCleaner will do this in 2 weeks. Malwarebytes will offer you the option to purchase it in a month. In both cases don’t purchase either of them when the trial runs out. The free version left on your computer will work just fine.)
- VLC Media Player
- VCL is about the best FREE media player out there for all media formats.
- Don’t let its simple format make you think less of it. It has more options than most media players out there. And it will play those file formats that other media players won’t!
- It is worth taking the time to get familiar with it.
- And don’t forget it is FREE!
- You can view the YouTube video here explaining how to use VLC Player.
- You can redownload the VLC Media Player here.
- PatchMyPC
- PatchMyPC will update all your 3rd party software that Windows OS update will not.
- It is a very convenient program for updating all your 3rd party programs all at once. It is the best I’ve found for doing this. I recommend running it about once a month.
- You can view the YouTube video here explaining how to use PatchMyPC.
- You can redownload PatchMyPC here. (When on the website click on “Download Home Updater” and then click on “Download patch My PC (version #)”).
- CCleaner
(All the software here are FREE. If you accept the trial, make sure that when any trial period ends that you do NOT purchase any paid version, unless you want to. I recommend only using the free versions. The Free versions are enough).
Any questions feel free to call, text and/or email me John (call at (414) 801-8194).
Again, thank you for letting me be your computer (IT) guy taking care of your computer needs! You are a truly a Valued Customer!

PS I also repurpose and/or recycle older and/or broken technologies. If you have any older computers or technology I can diagnose and determine if it is worth repurposing or just ready for recycling. You can leave these technologies with me to make sure they stay our of our landfills. Thanks for participating in this most needed endeavor for our planets and our future.
P.P.S. Please leave a review on the PC Runs Google Review page (just click the link).
(This would help out a lot for offering my services to other computer users in need). >>—>
