The useful details

What’s possible.

We’ll shape the scope around your goal and the system you have. Here are the capabilities we can bring into the conversation.

PC setup, cleanup & upgrades

Make a new, slow, or unreliable computer useful again.

New-PC setup, updates, accounts, browsers, and basic security
Performance, storage, startup, heat, and hardware-health checks
SSD/HDD replacement, drive cloning, partitioning, and migration planning
Windows troubleshooting, software setup, and upgrade recommendations

File, drive & data recovery

Inspect first and preserve originals before risky actions.

Read-only inspection of old, damaged, removable, or backup drives
Deleted-file recovery attempts, USB/SD-card triage, and partition assessment
ZIP/7z validation and partial salvage attempts for damaged archives
Legacy encrypted-vault assessment with valid owner credentials

Backup, transfer & organization

Move important files safely and leave a system you can maintain.

Simple backup plans for photos, documents, projects, and important folders
PC-to-PC, external-drive, and private remote-device transfers
Manual Tailscale transfers, clean archives, and handoff folders
Git/GitHub backup setup before project cleanup or migration

Networking & connected devices

Get the devices around the work communicating clearly.

Home and small-office connectivity and speed diagnosis
SSH, PuTTY, Tailscale, and secure remote-access setup
Authorized device discovery and network inventory
Printer, scanner, phone, Raspberry Pi, and USB connection support

A real example

Extreme-Case Recovery

A documented recovery from an orphaned encrypted vault through a confirmed legacy-wallet migration.

Evidence preservation, legacy format analysis, GPU-assisted password recovery, offline wallet reconstruction, independent verification, and a confirmed owner-authorized transfer.

Preserve first

If a drive clicks, repeatedly disconnects, overheats, or suddenly shows missing files, stop using it when possible. Do not reformat it or keep trying random repair tools.
