NEW SETUPS GEELONG
Stress-Free Device Setup in Your Geelong Home
That new laptop from Westfield Geelong still sitting in the box three weeks later? You're definitely not alone. Whether you're in Pakington Street, down by Eastern Beach, across from Kardinia Park, or anywhere from Newtown to North Geelong, Tech on Demand has been helping locals since 2017 get new gear out of the box and working properly. Not just turned on, actually working the way you need it to.
Here's what typically happens. You grab a new computer or tablet, maybe paid for setup at the store, then realize it was just plugged in and handed back with 'good luck figuring it out'. Your files aren't there, email doesn't work, and the printer you've had for years won't connect. That's not real setup. When you book a proper setup visit, your old computer gets fully cloned so the new one looks identical. Same desktop, same folders, same files, same everything. You open it up and it feels like your old machine, just faster. No call-out fees like Geeks2U charges, no confusing remote screen-sharing session with someone three states away. Printers get connected, email accounts sorted, and everything explained at your kitchen table before the job's finished. Most setups done same visit, and you've got a number to call when questions pop up later.

The real value comes at the end when you get a proper walkthrough in plain English. How to locate your files, use the apps you need, and what those new features actually do. Not a rushed handover at a retail counter, you'll feel confident using your device independently. Unlike dropping equipment off at a shop and waiting days wondering what's happening, everything happens right in front of you so you can ask questions as they come up. Most complete setups get finished in a single visit, and you're left with contact details for when something confusing pops up later.
