Laptop formatting and Windows installation in Bangalore

Pop-ups, a browser that opens pages on its own, Windows stuck on a loading circle, or a laptop that has simply got slower every month: these are software problems, and most of them end with a clean installation, done properly, with your files kept safe.

We back up your files first where the laptop allows it, install Windows or macOS, add the drivers your model needs, and put your files back. We also install Linux and set up dual boot, remove viruses and malware, and repair Windows when it will not start.

What we install and set up

  • Windows 11 and Windows 10 installation, with the drivers for your laptop model.
  • macOS reinstallation on MacBooks.
  • Linux installation, such as Ubuntu, and Windows plus Linux dual boot.
  • Formatting and a clean installation, with your files backed up and restored.
  • Virus, malware and adware removal.
  • Startup and boot repair when Windows will not load.
  • Setting up the programs you use: office apps, browsers, email and printers.

Formatting without losing your files

Formatting erases the drive, so the order matters: files first, then the installation. If the laptop still starts, or its drive can be read, we copy your documents, photos and desktop files before we format, and put them back afterwards.

Tell us about anything special: programs you need reinstalled, licence keys, email accounts or files saved in unusual places.

Genuine Windows and licences

Most laptops sold with Windows have the licence stored in the firmware, and Windows activates itself again after a clean installation. If yours does not have a licence, we tell you before installing. Companies can also get Windows and Microsoft Office licences from us.

How it works

  1. Describe the problem

    WhatsApp the laptop model and what Windows is doing, with a photo of any error message.

  2. Bring it in or book a pickup

    Walk in to our Koramangala centre, or we arrange a pickup.

  3. Check and quote

    We confirm it is a software problem, not hardware, and quote before any work.

  4. Backup, install, restore

    Your files are backed up, the system installed with drivers, and your files restored. The work carries a warranty of 1 month.

For offices: the same set-up on every laptop

Companies setting up new or returned laptops need the same Windows build, programs and settings on every machine. We do that as a service: set-up for new employees, and wiping and re-issuing laptops when staff leave.

Questions about formatting and installation

Will formatting delete my files?

Formatting erases the drive, so we back up your files first wherever the laptop or its drive can be read, and restore them after the installation.

Do you install genuine Windows?

Yes. Most laptops re-activate their own licence after a clean installation. If there is no licence, we tell you before installing.

Can you install Linux or set up dual boot?

Yes: Linux, such as Ubuntu, on its own or alongside Windows.

Can you remove a virus without formatting?

Often, yes. If the infection has damaged Windows too badly, a clean installation is the safer fix; we tell you which applies.

Do you reinstall macOS?

Yes, on MacBooks, with your files backed up first where possible.

My laptop is slow. Is formatting the answer?

Sometimes. If the laptop has an old hard disk or overheats, an SSD upgrade or a service helps more. The free diagnosis tells you which.

Is there a warranty?

Yes: 1 month on the repair we carry out.
