NEW SETUPS LOVELY BANKS
Stress-Free Device Setup in Your Lovely Banks Home
Got a new laptop sitting in the box for two weeks now? You're definitely not alone out here. Whether you're along Creamery Road, near the Lovely Banks General Store, off Lovely Banks Road towards Bannockburn, or tucked into one of the newer estates off Midland Highway, that feeling of dread when facing a new computer is real. Tech on Demand has been coming out to Lovely Banks homes since 2017, and honestly, most calls start with 'I don't want to mess this up' or 'Can you just make it look like my old one?'. That's exactly what happens.
Here's how it usually goes when people try setting up devices themselves. You buy a new computer from Harvey Norman in Geelong, bring it home, open the box, and immediately hit account creation screens you don't understand. The instructions assume you know what a Microsoft Account is or whether you already have one. Your old computer's got eight years of photos, documents, and carefully organized folders, and you're supposed to magically transfer all that without losing anything important. The shop offered 'premium setup' for $150 but that just meant turning it on and connecting WiFi in the store. No data transfer, no printer connection, no explanations. With Tech on Demand, your old machine gets fully cloned so the new one looks exactly like it. Same desktop wallpaper, same folder structure, same bookmarks, same everything. You open the lid and it feels like your old computer, just actually works properly now. No call-out fees like Geeks2U charges before they even look at anything, and everything explained in plain English before the visit's done. Most jobs cost $180-$360 depending on how much needs transferring, and you're told the price upfront.
Your New Device, Ready to Go
Personalised Setup, Not Just Power On
Buying a new device should feel exciting, not like homework you're avoiding. When you book a setup visit, Brayden comes to your Lovely Banks home and handles everything from unboxing to personalisation. For computers and laptops, your old machine gets fully cloned onto the new one. That means your desktop background, folder layout, files, bookmarks, and saved passwords all carry over exactly. You open the new laptop and it looks exactly like the old one, just faster and without the weird glitches. Email accounts, apps, and printers all get connected properly so they actually work when you need them. The real value comes at the end of the visit. You get a proper walkthrough of your new device in plain English, not tech jargon that makes you feel stupid for asking questions. How to find your files, how to use the apps you need, what those new features actually do, and why some things look different from your old setup. Not a rushed handover at a counter in Geelong, you'll feel confident using it on your own. Unlike dropping a device off at a shop and waiting four to seven days wondering if they'll call, everything happens right in front of you so you can ask questions as they come up. If something doesn't make sense, you say so right then and it gets explained differently. Most setups get completed in a single visit, usually one to two hours depending on how much data needs cloning. For phones and tablets, the process involves signing into your accounts correctly (not creating duplicate accounts by mistake), syncing contacts and photos from your old device, connecting to your home WiFi and other devices, and walking through the settings that actually matter instead of every single option. Unlike big companies like Geeks2U that charge $99 call-out fees before hourly rates even start, or Harvey Norman's 'setup service' that's really just turning it on, you get genuine personalisation and training. Been serving Lovely Banks and the Geelong region since 2017, and 90% of clients come from referrals because the setup relationship continues when you need help later. You're not calling a 1800 number reaching someone interstate reading from a script, you're calling Brayden who already knows your setup and remembers what you're working with.
