    Geek Squad is helping me with a broken hard drive

    I worked with an extremely helpful and patient associate, who took the time to explain the process to solve the issue and took a thorough look at my broken hard drive. I am waiting to speak with the lab to see if it's possible to retrieve some of the files stored in it, other companies have already given up, not offering the same options he did.

    Beware

    They charged me to send off and then tell me it’s going to cost more to open and diagnose. They said they did not open it up actually they did open it up and possibly damage the retrieval of the information on it. Do not recommend sending anything off to get recovered from Best Buy

    RETRIEVING DATA

    When requested/paid to transfer data from old PC (desktop) to new desktop, it turned out my old PC had two hard drives, and one hard drive wouldn't open or transfer... I discovered that, had to inform them (GeekSquad).. cost me an extra $500 after sending it out to their specialty division (took about 5 days)... ouch.. but they successfully did the transfer... and were helpful at the store showing me how the new MS OutLook 2016 works.

    In store agent was helpful and suggested solutions

    Being able to talk face-to-face with a person that really knows computers and is able to suggest solutions is wonderful. In addition, my computer had to be sent in to the tech center in order to be fixed. The in-store agent explained the procedures and costs that would be involved. Then, once my computer reached the tech center, I was contacted with explanations and a time frame within which the repairs would be finished. When the drive was completed, I was again contacted to let me know what outcome they had achieved, and that the computer was on the way to my home store. I am still amazed at the level of professionalism and the constant care and communication that I received! Personal, Professional and Competent . . . how could it get any better?

To use PCmover, simply install it on both your old and new Windows computers, and follow the easy-to-use wizard. When the transfer is complete, your new PC will have the personality and functionality of your old one. Because most transferred applications are installed ready-to-use on the new PC, there's usually no need to find old CDs or previously downloaded applications, serial numbers, or license codes. A single purchase of PCmover provides one license to migrate from one source to one destination computer - with as many attempts needed. Additional computers will require an additional license(s).
