What happens when we do a backup and reload of your pc?
When doing a backup we can not save any programs that are installed on the computer only the data created by those programs. Original software will be required to reinstall on your formatted hard drive. If you can't provide the original software Onsite IT Services can not replace the software. If you've misplaced or did not receive the software when you purchased the computer you're required to contact that person/company to obtain new software. Any extra time spent on this issue will be charged at the going hourly rate.
Format and reload is a flat rate of $80 and is done in store not onsite with free pick up and delivery. If to be done onsite the hourly rate applies. This can take anywhere from 1.5hrs to several hours or longer!
