I am John Walker, a freelance IT guy providing home tech support and training in Devon’s Teignbridge and Exeter districts. Also, I assist customers via remote connection in the UK and other countries. Ask me to help you use your tech devices to achieve personal, business, and creative aims.
★ Tech Advice
Let’s discuss your technical issue and how to resolve it! I’m available for a quick chat about any computer, device, app or service. I offer jargon-free, expert tech advice on the phone. The best way to reach me is to book a free 15-minute tech chat, and I will phone you back at the time you choose.
★ Home Tech Support
Please call me (07525368812) or use the contact form for support. I can assist you with your Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows PC, Linux computer, Chromebook, Android phone, or any other device.
★ Home Tech Training
Learn on your device, using your data to make your learning relevant and memorable. I offer jargon-free, expert computer training in person, online or by phone. Find out how you can use a new computer, tablet or phone, or just a particular app that you need to learn.
★ Website Design and Hosting
Let’s discuss how to get your website sorted. I can help make it look and work right, or buy a domain name and host your website. I can show you how to add your news and products or set up your new website email.
★ Macwiz Online Store
I sell bootable USB flash drives for portable computing, operating system installation and repair, or data rescue. I can post these worldwide.
★ My Visiting Areas for Home Tech Support and Training
If you need my help in person, I give tech support without a call-out charge, based on postcode: EX1 through EX7, TQ1 through TQ14. Further away, I charge a small fee covering travel time and fuel.
By the way, I also help people worldwide using screen-sharing via a remote connection. Even if you live nearby, I can still help you with your computer using screen-sharing… think of the advantages; you don’t need to tidy up or even offer me a coffee! More importantly, a screen-sharing connection is useful to show you how to do something quickly, without the fuss of arranging a visit.
★ Other Tech Support Services
My tech support services also include:
Email Setup – Microsoft 365, Gmail, or even iCloud custom domain setup – use iCloud to secure business email!
Anti-Virus – help with prevention or cure. For prevention, I recommend Malwarebytes & Bitdefender.
Data Recovery – restoring your lost files and retrieving information from corrupted ones.
Upgrades & Side-grades – clean up, speed up or update your computer, get your Mac upgraded to the latest macOS systems, even if unsupported by Apple, or your Windows 10 PC upgraded to Windows 11, even if unsupported by Microsoft.
New Apple Device Set-up – getting your data from your old device to your new one, and getting it set up right
