You have just picked up a new Dell laptop from Officeworks in Bourke Street or a MacBook from the Apple Store in Chadstone, and the excitement quickly fades as you realise there are hours of Windows updates to install, accounts to set up, old files to transfer, and a printer that needs connecting. What should be a simple unboxing turns into a full weekend project.
Geeks Melbourne takes care of the entire new computer setup process at your home or office anywhere across Melbourne -- from the CBD and Docklands to Essendon, Glen Waverley, and Frankston. We work with both Windows PCs and Apple Macs, laptops and desktops, and we handle every step from first power-on to fully personalised and production-ready.
Our computer setup service includes:
We do not leave until your new computer has everything your old one had -- plus better security and a cleaner setup. You sit down and it feels familiar from the first click.
From unboxing to fully operational, here is what our Melbourne technicians configure during your computer setup appointment.
Initial configuration, user account creation, privacy settings, system updates, and regional settings. We get the operating system dialled in before touching anything else.
Transfer documents, photos, music, browser bookmarks, and desktop files from your old PC or Mac to the new one. Cross-platform transfers (Windows to Mac or vice versa) included.
Microsoft Office, Chrome, Firefox, Zoom, Adobe Reader, media players, and any other applications you need. Installed, activated, and configured -- no bloatware, no trial pop-ups.
Connect and configure your existing printer, scanner, external monitor, webcam, and USB devices. Drivers installed, test prints run, everything working with your new machine.
Set up your email accounts in Outlook, Apple Mail, or your preferred client. Gmail, Microsoft 365, Yahoo, and business email -- all configured with correct server settings.
Antivirus installation, Windows Defender optimisation, firewall configuration, and two-factor authentication setup on your key accounts. Protected from day one.
Yes. We transfer documents, photos, music, videos, browser bookmarks, saved passwords (where possible), and desktop files. If you are switching from Windows to Mac or Mac to Windows, we handle the cross-platform conversion too. We verify everything has come across before finishing, and we can keep your old machine intact as a backup until you are confident nothing was missed.
A typical new computer setup takes 90 minutes to two hours. This includes running system updates (which can be substantial on a brand-new Windows machine), transferring data from your old computer, installing software, setting up email, connecting peripherals, and configuring security. If there is a large amount of data to transfer -- say 500GB or more -- it may take a bit longer, but we will give you an estimate upfront.
Absolutely. Our Melbourne technicians are experienced with both Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS. Whether you have a Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, or Microsoft Surface running Windows, or a MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini, we handle the full setup. We also set up Macs for people switching from Windows for the first time and walk you through the key differences.
Yes. We regularly set up business computers across Melbourne, including joining Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace domains, installing industry-specific software like MYOB or Xero, configuring VPN access for remote work, connecting to office printers and shared network drives, and setting up email signatures. We understand the business IT environment and make sure your new machine fits seamlessly into your existing workflow.
