Geek Squad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Geek squad examined my old PC and advised me that a new mother board was needed and, based on the age of the PC, it was not a viable solution to my problem. Once I purchased a new PC, the Geek squad transferred the info from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and it was completed in a matter of a few hours.

Geek Squad Data Backup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After talking with a Geek Squad representative, I decided to drop a service contract that I had with another company and establish one with Best Buy. It was not only cheaper but the service was better and the reps more knowledgeable. The backup proceeded as scheduled. They were great.

The Geek Squad was a life saver.

Because I was contemplating a new purchase in the near future, I took this opportunity upgrade. They removed the hard drive and got my data off. I came in and interected with them - great knowledge of computer software.

THE SQUAD DID IT!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very grateful for the Geek Squad. I was able to get my data transferred from a non-working device to a brand new portable device. I didn't think it could be done but they were successful and saved tons of my photography work.

Geek squad came to the rescue.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My hubby got his christmas present early and he needed everything transfered from his old IPAD to the new one and I did not want to even attempt it.

Over the top help
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Geek squad agent quickly realized how technologically challenged I am and restored my recovered data to my new machine while I shopped in the store. It was an immense help as I doubt that I would have known how to do this myself. Thanks, Geek Squad, for making my day!

Rec'd info as requested.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great job! I thought that I had backed up my computer and was protected. But my backup external drive failed. Naturally, then my computer stopped working. I needed the tax information that was still in the computer. Geek Squad somehow got all the info that was on the hard drive!

Geek Squad fixed my computer that got a virus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Both Ben, who enrolled me in Geek Squad, and Ryan, who fixed my computer that got a virus, were pleasant and very knowledgeable. I was freaking out because I was so worried about what happened with my computer, but when I arrived at Best Buy, their friendliness and confidence in telling me they could help me was so comforting. They did what they had to do quickly and efficiently and I was so relieved.

Efficient service, but needs fine tuning
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it may seem simple that a backup of a hard drive will perhaps be a "mirror copy", that is not the case with the Geek Squad service. I brought a terabyte drive in which I had for the Squad to use for the back up of my system hard drive (as it had some serious errors and needed to be reformated with a windows reinstallation). The service was complete, in that everything was copied. But the files are put all over the place on the new drive. Multiple document areas (default, owner, administrator, all users, my documents, etc....) and there are pieces of my copied drive all over the place. Not a simple thing to click to that drive to find even the main "my documents" file folder that references my items - it is 4 levels deep on the drive. This could be done more simply - or at least, I would hope that the associate would take some time to explain how/why they did it the way they did when I picked it up (not provided any explanation). But they did copy the drive, which is what I needed at the time, so for that I am thankful for the service.

Like always - Efficient, Quick and Polite
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once the store opened up for limited access I was able to get my laptop in for some much needed work. I was able to make my appointment time online which was very nice. Once I arrived with said appt I was able to get to the Geek Squad with no delay. They provided more info than I really wanted - just their usual. I was able to track the status of my machine online; again, very convenient. I got a personal call when my machine was ready. Only difficult part was the pick up - more people aware of the store opening so had to wait to get in the store and then wait for someone to be available but on me since it was around late lunch time. The person that helped me apologized for the wait but did not have to - just the current times we live in. I have bought every machine from Best Buy for the last 15 years and I have never had any regrets.
