Bumpy start but exceeded my expectations…read more.. The reason I say bumpy start is I took my HP desktop computer to the guys at kingfisher computers. And told them after i got a friend to install windows 10 for me i couldn't get updates and updates it would ask for a products key but said activated. Plus it was crashing all the time. After a couple of hours, kingfisher called me back and informed me that the computer was wicked full of viruses, and I had lots of other programs running in the background that i didn't need, I think they called it bloat-software or something like that. So later that day, I picked my computer up, and they had made it run faster, and it had stopped crashing. But I still couldn't do updates, the main reason I took the computer to kingfisher in the first place. When I returned the guy at the counter informed me that, they had told me it was running a non-genuine version of windows, and they advised me to get a genuine version to enable it to do updates. thats why it was asking for a product key. I do remember them telling me this, but at I would need to buy windows 10, I declined. He also showed me on their computer job system, that they did advise this, but I declined. And they were correct. So after a chat with the guy, i decided that i was going to purchase a genuine version of microsoft Windows 10, but they told me that if I get an SSD, it would vastly increase my speed. They could do windows 10 cheaper, with the November version of windows 10 update. I agreed. So that was the bumpy start out the windows. When I collected my computer, they give me a demo of how fast my computer was now, after they installed an SSD. They were correct. It took seconds to boot with an SSD. Now I'm faster than an Elon Musk rocket. i can do all my updates, and i have this fantastic SSD hard drive with all my programs, software and data on. Advice, don't get friends to install windows 10 to fix your computers, for you because they do it for free or for cheap, get the experts to do it, and listen to their advice. It's worth it in the long run. Five stars from me over and out.

I'll certainly use them again and would encourage anyone to give them a call with any IT issues. After phoning a couple of other IT companies in York and getting disappointing cold responses over the phone I called Lantech and was immediately impressed. They were friendly and clearly explained what the possible problems were and worked around my schedule to come and collect my laptop. I was kept me up to date over the phone as they worked on the problem and allowed me to choose what solution to go for. The excellent communications from Lantech really gave me peace of mind. I now have a my laptop back and its working perfectly. Many thanks!

Last year my girlfriends laptop conked out and her insurance company told her to take it for a valuation on how much it would be to fix. she took it in there to see if he would be able to do anything about it, he charged her a flat rate for the tests, then when she went back to see how much it would be to fix it he said he would try free of charge. Next time she went in, unfortunately it was beyond repair, but he prepared an engineers report at no extra cost so that she could send it off to the insurance company and she would get the correct valuation on the replacement. More recently, I went in as I wanted a new desktop PC, and got a quote to see how much it would be for the spec I wanted, and found that it was around £300 cheaper than the equivalent if I had gone online and got it manufactured by a larger company. Shows how much commission they take! If you have any computer problems I would recommend this place, he won't overcharge like some of the places in Middlesbrough.
