A computer near Lorton Station or Mason Neck that will not boot, keeps restarting or shows error messages at startup can usually be repaired. We work on the existing Windows installation first so your programs and settings stay put.
We visit Lorton homes and offices along Route 1. Your files are copied to safety before anything else happens, and if a fresh install is the right call, we set your programs and accounts up again.

Why Lorton relies on us
Files Saved First
We copy your documents and photos before any repair or reinstall begins.
Programs Restored
If a reinstall is needed, we reinstall your programs and reconnect your accounts.
Data Checked After
We open your key files after the repair to confirm nothing was lost.
Recovery Services
Will not boot
Computers that will not boot or get stuck at startup are repaired with recovery tools.
macOS recovery
Both Windows and macOS systems are covered, including recovery mode and reinstalls.
Driver rollback
Driver conflicts after an update are fixed by removing the bad driver and installing a stable one.
Lost user profiles
A damaged user profile can hide your files and settings. We recover it or move everything to a new profile.
Backup before repair
We protect documents, photos and email before we change anything on the system.
Stuck Windows updates
Updates that fail or loop are cleared and reinstalled so Windows finishes updating properly.
Corrupted Windows files
System file checks and repairs fix many errors without a full reinstall.
Windows reinstallation
We reinstall Windows cleanly, then bring back your files, apps and settings.
Business software after a reinstall
Small businesses in Lorton often run accounting or estimating software that needs license keys. Before a reinstall, we collect those keys and settings so the software can be activated again without calling every vendor.
