Q: QuestionIf I buy a computer online that can be picked up at Best Buy, can the Geek Squad at the store go ahead and do their basic new computer setup before I drive out to pick it up?
Asked by RJSL.
- A:Answer Thanks for taking the time to post your question. This may be an option, but this is not always the case. You can visit us online at www.geeksquad.com/schedule to schedule a time to speak with an Agent at the store about this.

Q: QuestionI am going to purchase a laptop and need computer help,to transfer all info from old one to new one. Can you do this in an appointment and how much would it cost ?
Asked by Susan.
- A:Answer If you have not already bought the laptop, make sure to ask if the old one is compatible to have the data transferred to the new one. My old desk top wasn't and messed up my new one. The Geek Squad came and resolved all of my issues that could have been prevented had I known that up front. Also, having the Total Tech Support and Webroot can save you money and a lot of headaches!

Q: QuestionHow much to install Windows 10 clean install from usb full version?
Asked by Raybug.
- A:Answer Do not know if you will have the same problem as my son, but we swapped out hard drives, (made it a terabyte) backed up everything at Best Buy (or they backed it up) and ever since have a screen that pops up that says it is an unverfied Windows product. So there must have been a problem with the license key that did not transfer from what was on their Flashdrive or CD that was from my old hard drive to the new hard drive. This is just FYI.

Q: QuestionHow much to set up a new hp labtop that I didn't buy from best buy ??
Asked by House2100.
- A:Answer I think the price is around 35 or 40 dollars. Anyway that is what I paid. Worth the money though. You know it's done right, and if there are problems you can take it to the Geek Squad counter and they will fix it.

Q: QuestionI bought a mac several years ago and now things aren't working correctly. I am sure I need an update but I have a lot of photos and don't want to take a chance of loosing them. What do I need to do?
Asked by Littlebitty01.
- A:Answer Best thing to do would be to get an external hard drive. Copy all of the images and other files (documents, videos, etc.) to that external hard drive. Apps cannot be copied to the drive, only files. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, Geek Squad offers a data transfer service in-store if you can provide an external hard drive, or purchase one at that time.
