The operating system is the foundation of your computer.

Operating-system updates

Drivers

System settings

Software compatibility

General configuration

Where an operating-system installation involves replacing an existing system, we’ll consider your data and applications before proceeding.

Windows Support

New Computer Software Setup

Buying a new computer doesn’t mean you should have to spend hours installing everything yourself.

Computerist can help set up a new computer with the software you actually need.

Depending on your requirements, this may include:

Windows configuration

Applications

Browsers

Microsoft 365

Security software

Drivers

Printers

Other compatible peripherals

We’ll help get the computer ready for use.

Software Configuration

Installing an application is only the first step.

Many programs need to be configured for the way you work.

Computerist can assist with suitable configuration involving:

User preferences

Accounts

File locations

Application settings

Default applications

Synchronisation

Printers

Other supported integrations

The exact configuration depends on the software and your requirements.

Software Updates

Keeping software reasonably current is an important part of maintaining a computer.

Computerist can check and install appropriate updates for supported software, including:

Windows

Applications

Drivers

Security software

Other system components

Updates can improve security, compatibility and stability.

However, we don’t believe in blindly installing every update available.

For business environments especially, compatibility and operational requirements need to be considered.

Software Troubleshooting

Sometimes software installs successfully but doesn’t work properly.

Problems can include:

Application crashes

Error messages

Compatibility problems

Missing components

Configuration issues

Update failures

Conflicts with other software

Computerist can investigate suitable software problems and determine whether the issue is configuration, compatibility, Windows, the application itself or another part of the system.

Microsoft 365 & Office Applications

Computerist can assist with suitable Microsoft 365 and Office-related installation and configuration requirements.

This can include:

Microsoft 365

Microsoft Office

Outlook

Teams

OneDrive

Word

Excel

PowerPoint

For broader Microsoft 365 administration and business support:

Microsoft 365 Support

Email Software Setup

Email applications often need to be configured correctly before they can work reliably.

Outlook

Microsoft 365

Business email

Email Setup & Support

Drivers & Device Software

Hardware sometimes requires the correct software or drivers to operate properly.

Printers

Network adapters

Audio devices

Graphics hardware

Other compatible peripherals

Incorrect or outdated drivers can sometimes cause instability or prevent hardware from working correctly.

Software Installation for Businesses

Businesses often have more considerations than simply installing an application.

Software may need to work with:

Existing systems

Microsoft 365

Business networks

Servers

Security controls

User accounts

File storage

Other applications

Computerist can assist with suitable business software installation and configuration requirements.

For larger or more complex environments, we can also consider the wider IT environment before making changes.

Business IT Support

Software Setup for Remote Workers

Employees working from home may need access to business applications and services outside the office.

Business applications

Microsoft 365

Teams

OneDrive

Remote-access software

Security applications

Device configuration

The exact requirements depend on your business environment.

Software Licensing & Accounts

Some applications require valid licences, subscriptions or user accounts.

Computerist can help with the technical side of installing and configuring supported software, but you remain responsible for obtaining the appropriate licence or subscription.

We won’t install pirated or illegally obtained software.

Where licensing is required, we’ll work with the legitimate licence or account you provide.

Software Installation on Compatible Devices

Software requirements vary between devices.

Computerist can assist with compatible software on supported:

Desktop PCs

Laptops

Macs

Other compatible computing devices

Before installation, we can consider the operating system, hardware requirements and compatibility where appropriate.

Software vs Hardware Problems

Sometimes what appears to be a software problem is actually caused by hardware.

For example:

An application keeps crashing.

The cause could be:

Software configuration

Windows

Drivers

Insufficient memory

Storage problems

Overheating

Another hardware fault

That’s where broader troubleshooting experience can make a difference.

If the problem isn’t actually the software, we’ll tell you.

PC Troubleshooting

Software Installation & Computer Tune-Up

Software installation and computer optimisation are related but different services.

Software Installation

“I need this application installed and configured.”

Tune-Up & Optimisation

“My computer has become slow and needs maintenance.”

PC Troubleshooting

“Something isn’t working, and I need to find out why.”

Keeping these services separate makes it easier to identify the right solution. For official guidance on installing programs from online sources in Windows, see Microsoft Support — How to install programs from online sources on Windows.

Tune-Up & Optimisation

Performance

Slow computers Freezing Crashing General instability

Hardware

Motherboards Power supplies RAM CPU Storage Graphics cards

Why Choose Computerist?

Practical installation

We’ll install software according to your requirements rather than simply accepting every default setting.

Compatibility matters

Before installing software, we consider whether the application is appropriate for the device and operating system.

Updates included where appropriate

Keeping applications and operating systems reasonably current can improve security, stability and compatibility.

We explain technology in plain English

You shouldn’t need to be an IT professional to understand what is happening to your computer. We’ll explain: What’s wrong. What can be done. What it is likely to cost. Whether it’s worth doing.

Practical recommendations

If a tune-up is unlikely to solve the underlying problem, we’ll tell you.

You may need:

An SSD

More RAM

Hardware repair

Malware removal

A Windows repair

Or eventually a replacement computer

Practical advice

Sometimes the best solution is a repair. Sometimes it’s an upgrade. Sometimes replacement is the better financial decision. Sometimes update is the answer. We’ll explain the options.

We Don’t Automatically Recommend Upgrades

Sometimes an update is the right answer. Sometimes a reinstallation makes far more sense. We’ll give you an honest assessment rather than assuming the most expensive option is the best one.

Broad IT experience

Software rarely operates in isolation.

It may interact with:

Windows

Microsoft 365

Networks

Servers

Cloud services

Security software

Hardware

Computerist can consider the wider environment when a software problem crosses into another area of IT.

Clear explanations

You don’t need to understand what every Windows process or hardware component does.

We’ll explain what matters and what doesn’t.

No Fix, No Fee

Where applicable, Computerist operates a No Fix, No Fee approach. The exact conditions depend on the nature of the work, so we’ll explain them before proceeding.

Need Software Installed or Supported?

Whether you’re setting up a new computer, installing business software, configuring Microsoft 365 or dealing with an application that refuses to work properly, Computerist can help.
