Complete Device Setup Across Melbourne
Getting a new device should be exciting, not exhausting. But between signing into accounts, transferring photos and contacts from your old device, installing the right apps, configuring security settings, and connecting to your home WiFi -- what should take an hour ends up consuming an entire weekend.
That is where Geeks I.T. Melbourne comes in. We provide complete device setup services across the entire Melbourne metro area, from Docklands and Carlton to Dandenong, Werribee, and everywhere in between. Whether you have picked up a new Windows laptop from JB Hi-Fi on Bourke Street, an iPhone from the Apple Store in Chadstone, or a Samsung smart TV delivered to your doorstep, our technicians handle the full setup so you can start using your device the moment we leave.
We do not just turn it on and connect it to WiFi. We transfer your data, install the apps you actually use, set up email and cloud accounts, configure privacy and security settings, pair Bluetooth accessories, and make sure everything talks to everything else in your home. One visit, every device, fully sorted.

Common Questions About Device Setup
What is included in a device setup appointment?
Every device setup includes initial configuration (user accounts, WiFi, updates), data transfer from your old device if needed, app and software installation, email and cloud account setup, security configuration, Bluetooth pairing, and a walkthrough of key features. We tailor the appointment to your specific device and needs.
How long does a device setup take?
A single device setup -- say a new laptop or phone -- typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how much data needs transferring and how many apps need installing. If you are setting up multiple devices at once (e.g. a new laptop and phone), allow two to three hours. We will give you an estimate when you book.
Can you transfer data from my old device to the new one?
Absolutely. We transfer photos, contacts, documents, music, bookmarks, and app data from your old device to the new one -- regardless of whether you are switching platforms (e.g. Android to iPhone, Windows to Mac) or staying on the same one. We use direct transfer methods where possible for speed, and verify everything has come across before wiping anything.
Do you set up devices for small businesses?
Yes. We regularly set up laptops, desktops, and mobile devices for small businesses across Melbourne. That includes joining devices to your company domain or Microsoft 365 tenant, installing business applications, configuring VPN access, setting up email signatures, and connecting to shared printers and network drives.
I am not tech savvy. Will you show me how to use my new device?
Of course. A walkthrough is a standard part of every setup. We show you the essential features -- how to send email, use the camera, install apps, connect to WiFi, and anything else you want to learn. We keep it in plain English and go at your pace. Many of our clients in suburbs like Toorak, Kew, and Brighton specifically book us for the patient, jargon-free guidance.
Can you set up multiple devices in one visit?
Definitely. Many Melbourne households book us to set up a new laptop, phone, and tablet all in one visit. Setting up multiple devices together actually makes the process smoother because we can ensure they all sync, share accounts properly, and connect to the same network and peripherals. Just let us know what you need when you book.
