“Dan the Man the Computer Man”
★★★★★
I have known Dan for many years... attention to detail, customer satisfaction, knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Very trustworthy.
Home-Based Service (Important Update)
We closed our physical shop in June 2025 and moved to home-based service.
We provide the same high-quality help by appointment.
We meet customers at my former shop location at the old Airport on Grand River when equipment exchange is necessary. Pick-up & delivery also available (within 30 miles.)
Windows 11 is here!
If you’re on a Windows 10 or older PC, it's time to upgrade or update!
- If your hardware is newer than 3 years, it should be upgradeable to Windows 11
- If not, we can recommend a replacement that fits your needs and budget
- We can also help you migrate to the new PC as smoothly as possible.
Shopping for a New PC (Simple 2026 Guide)
We don’t stock PCs, but we’ll help you pick one that lasts—and then we’ll set it up and move your data.
- Memory:8 GB minimum, 16 GB preferred. Generally, more is better.
- Storage: SSD required (500 GB minimum; 1 TB if you have lots of photos/videos)
- Processor: I am an Intel guy, so I won't recommend AMD. Intel has the i3, i5, i7 and the i9 (also known as Core3, Core5, Core7 and Core9). The i3 is like a 4-cyl engine in a car, the i5 is like a 6-cyl, the i7 is like an 8-cyl and the i9 is like a 12-cyl.
- Laptops: Choose a comfortable screen size (15–16" is common)
- Brand: I typically recommend Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, and MSI over HP or Dell. Your most important choices are the processor, memory, and storage drive.
- Warranty: All come with a 1-year standard warranty. Desktops tend to be pretty durable. If you get an All-in-One or a Laptop, do consider an extended warranty.
