Transferring your data
["We'll back up or transfer your data** to one medium or device (including DVDs, NAS, hard drive, etc.). You will need to supply the backup device unless you opt for a cloud-based backup service.***
Data Backup or Transfer with Hard Drive.
Purchase this optional service and we'll provide a hard drive for you, in order to back up or transfer your data. Talk to your Geek Squad Agent for pricing and further details.
Keeping it organized.
We will make sure the data maintains the same folder structure as the previous location. (For example, documents will go into the My Documents folder.)
Finishing touches.
We'll install and configure included or built-in software for any external hard drive, and we'll help you set up a data backup schedule that fits your needs.
*This service does not include network device setup or managing file names or tags.
**If you need to back up or transfer more than 9.4 GB to DVD, you'll also need to purchase an add-on service to handle the extra data. Talk to your Geek Squad Agent for pricing and further details.
***Please note that this is a drop-off service, so it will not be performed while you wait. A Geek Squad Agent will provide an estimated pickup date when you drop off your devices."]

Geek Squad needs to keep their promises!
|Posted .I purchased a new laptop to travel on vacation. I was told to bring in my home computer for transfer. They promised it would be ready on Wednesday because we were leaving on Thursday. Even though there were 2 separate orders written up for this assignment, they only transferred data to a flash drive, not my new computer. We had to come to the store 3 different times. We were a day late starting our vacation!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow long does it take for Geek squad to do Drop-off Compuer to Computer data transfer? In other words, hope long will I be without my computers?
Asked by Ron.
- A:Answer I had physical damage. the computer fell off counter top and messed up the corner pretty good. they fixed all the physical damage and had it back to me within two weeks. when i turned it on the hard drive was messed up and would not allow certain programs to open. so, i sent it back and it took about two more weeks to get back. when i got it back this time it sounded like the speakers were blown and upon looking at the back of the laptop i can see wires that are bare/you can see copper through the insulated wire. this is a Dell alien ware so of course they keep trying to fix it, but there is absolutely no way that wire was that way prior to them working on it. so again i sent it back. they have now had the computer for over a month and a half total (15 days so far this time) and they have not even received the parts to do the repairs according to their tracking information. I rely on my computer for business so i had to buy another one just to keep everything moving forward. this has gotten beyond ridiculous.

Q: QuestionHow much does it cost to replace the hard drive, install windows and transfer data? Thanks.
Asked by Dan.
- A:Answer I believe they charge $99 to transfer data but, they would have to give you a quote on the hard drive and to install windows. The hard drive replacement will depend on the cost of the new hard drive, whether the data is recoverable from your bad hard drive and their service charge. To install windows will depend on whether you want the version you had on your bad hard drive, which will be included in the cost of installing your recoverable data, assuming it is recoverable. If you want a different version of Windows or assuming your data was not recoverable from your old hard drive, then they will charge you the cost of the Windows Version you want and their service charge. Just call them at your nearest Best Buy store and they will tell you what they can do for you.

Q: QuestionMy laptop is dying as they say, and I have a lot of college work, documents, pdfs, ppts, onenotes, and files saved on it. Basically, it's important information which I need it ahead. Would it possible to transfer that data into a new device?
Asked by Lapcrash.
- A:Answer Yes, you should purchase an external hard drive and transfer your data to it. Then when you get a new computer you can transfer it to it but also still have a back-up on the hard drive.

Q: QuestionIf I purchase a new laptop from bestbuy, is data transfer free or is that an additional cost?
Asked by Janb.
- A:Answer The data backup if bundled with a new PC is $20 off. If you also purchase Geek Squad 24/7 support with the PC, it's an additional $20 off. In this situation, you'd save $20 to bring the backup down to $79.99 For the record, I work for Geek Squad

Q: Questiondoes this service include installing and updating the operating system, such as windows 10 updates available. do they do a clean install
Asked by skip.
- A:Answer In my case I brought my Dell all in one system in to have my hard drive replaced with a Samsung 860 EVO solid state drive. The geek squad installed the SSD and cloned over my old drive. I keep my system updated religiously to the latest Win 10 updates with Windows automatic updating and even go into the system to make sure it was updated. The geek squad updated some of my drivers that needed to be updated without me asking them to, so I believe if you asked them to, they would make sure you had the latest from Microsoft. They even deleted everything I had on the system concerning Western Digital which was my external backp drive because I asked them to because I was going to a Samsung t5 SSD for my external backup drive. All this cost me $85.00 bucks.
