    iMac Transfer to New Machine

    The Geek Squad (Dylan, Porter and Kyle) of the Lawrence Best Buy Transferred our data from our old iMac to our new one. We had received a wonderful deal on the purchase of this new iMac because it uses the M1 chip vice the new M3. We saved $650.00 off the purchase price, plus we purchased the $179.00 Geek Squad coverage that included Apple Care. The Geek Squad transferred all of our data in the store from our old iMac to this one in a little over one day. We couldn’t be more pleased. The transfer has been nearly flawless and the glitches that we encountered when we got it home were quickly resolved using Apple Support. All of our email systems (my wife and I share this machine - I use iCloud, she uses AOL) including our address books and saved emails are all in tact. No photos or other important documents were lost and all of our previously used aps are in tact and working. We could not ask for a better purchase and transfer experience, plus this machine is running much faster than our previous one. This is our third iMac and I can’t imagine that the new systems with the M3 chip can be much better than this one for the price we paid. Our only regret was the absence of a USB Port, but overall we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Apple and Geek Squad of Best Buy Lawrence, KS.

    There is nothing to say here, really. I went to Best Buy to transfer data from a hard-drive I had on an old, out-of-commission, computer to an external hard-drive I had also bought from Best Buy. The service was completed within only about a day or two with good results.

    I was a nervous wreck when I started having issues with my computer!! I took it it to Geek Squad, and learned that it was time to buy a new tower. They were so knowledgeable and thorough! I couldn’t handle the stress of transferring all the data, so having them do it for me was worth every penny and then some! Thank you Geek Squad!

    Data Backup or Transfer

    This is really great when your computer starts to go on the blink. Not quite dead but it looks like it is going to turn it's toes up at any moment. My eyesight is not very good anymore so I wasn't able to do this myself. It was so nice to be able to have them do it for me. I do genealogy and I had a lot of records stored on my laptop that I didn't want to lose. The Geek Squad people are always polite and knowledgeable and let us know if the problem requires they send it back to the factory.

    The associate took all our data from the old computer with a tower (circa2012) and transferred it to the new All-in-one computer. First they checked it for any Trojans or other malware. It was very helpful and saved us a lot of time and frustration.

    While it takes longer than I would like, having the ability to transfer data between computers is super helpful for anyone who doesn't want to lose old files.

    Data was transferred but not my Webroot. Was told to go to online chat with geek squad and they could not do it. Then was told to call Webroot support, they could not do it, then was told to call geek squad since that is where is was purchased. Called geek squad again and was not able to install again. Was told my key code was invalid even though it did not expire until 07/23/23. Took my desktop in to Best Buy for the Geek Squad and they reinstalled Webroot and paid for a year, but now I have to purchase this every year when it was always included in my Tech membership and was told that I was grandfathered in since you do not do this anymore. I think that is wrong.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been to Best Buy 3 times since Friday to get support on my computer and have my data transferred to my new computer. I paid $100 for data transfer, but when I logged into my new computer NONE of my documents were there. This was everything I had worked on for the past 2 months. I live 30 minutes from Best Buy, so driving back and forth is incredibly inconvenient. No body will answer the phone at Best Buy so here I am on Monday morning having to start all over on my work documents. I am incredibly frustrated and just wish anyone at your store could at least answer the phone, I really don't have time on this hectic Monday to spend driving back to best buy for a 5th time. I attached screen shots of my folders, I have started to repopulate my documents from what I could scavenge from my email, however as you will see my documents file is completely empty.

    • Brand response from GeekSquadSupport
      Posted .

      Thank you for taking the initiative to let us know about this. It's always frustrating when appointments do not go as expected and communication falls through. We do apologize for the disappointment as this is not the kind of service we aim to provide our customers. It is my understanding that the data transfer process copies any documents from the standard folders (documents, desktop, pictures, etc.) of the source computer to the destination computer. Sometimes, if these folders are setup to sync with cloud services like OneDrive or Dropbox, some files may be missed. Regardless, we may be able to assist you remotely. For support with this, please give us a call at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778 or chat with an Agent at www.geeksquad.com/chat.

    geek squad, damaged my computer beyond repair, and has not offered a replacement as of yet (11/04/23) which is hurting my business. I use computers to run my company which I’m in architecture and I have a production company. very disappointed in management and customer service at Best Buy.

    Best Buy Staff Top Notch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Charles was awesome to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and not once did I feel inferior talking with him. He explained everything in non-geek language so even I could understand. We purchased the HP Desktop, Samsung Monitor and a new router. I was able to get everything set up and working. I was worried about switching to Windows 8.1 from XP and Charles assured me there would be a small learning curve and showed me a few helpful tricks. Geek Squad transferred all my data and I'm up and running. I would recommend Best Buy Clarksville, IN for anyone looking for a computer or any other electronics. (We bought a Samsung TV last January and the staff was great then too!!)

    I hired GeekSquad to transfer data from my old laptop to an external drive. I had been putting it off for so long bc I didn't have time. And the process with them was so easy! And fast! And they were extremely knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. They filled out the paperwork quickly, updated me on the process/timeline and were very clear in their explanation of how things went. Well worth the $.

    The employees did an excellent job retrieving the info from my old computer. However, some personal assistance in finding a new computer and a more reasonable price in setting up the new computer would have resulted in my purchasing a new one at Best Buy instead of online.

    The gentleman was most knowledgeable about my problem and solved it within a short period of time . He was very kind and courteous and well as understanding my needs although, I not being technologically savvy especially with the nomenclature, didn’t really know how to explain what I wanted. He immediately knew what I meant and began to work on the problem. The part I needed was not available in your store, sold out, so he explained the difference between it and the one you had. I chose what you had in stock which would be a savings in the long run. I was so pleased with the service and hospitality that I chose to purchase a washer and dryer from Best Buy rather than Lowe’s. I also applied for a credit card which was granted immediately. I am considering a larger, newer tv from your store instead of from Solutions where I usually purchase my electronics.
