Migration from Windows 10 to Linux Mint or Lubuntu, 100% remote
We guide you step by step, by chat, phone call or video call on your mobile phone, so your computer keeps working with Linux without buying a new one. You do the steps with our help, so you also learn to use your own computer.
From CLP 25,000 · VAT includedThe final price depends on your computer and on what you need installed. We tell you before we start, with no hidden costs.
Who is it for?
- People with a Windows 10 computer that no longer receives official support.
- People with a slow computer who cannot or do not want to buy a new one.
- People who use the computer to browse, write emails, watch videos, work with documents or do online paperwork.
- Small businesses with older computers that still work.
What's included
- A prior check of your computer to decide between Linux Mint and Lubuntu (Lubuntu is lighter and suits very old computers).
- Guidance on backing up your photos and documents before installing.
- Preparing the installer, trying it first without changing your computer.
- Step-by-step guided installation, on your own computer.
- Basic setup: internet, browser, email, printer and everyday programs.
- Restoring your backed-up files and a short introduction to using the system.
What's not included
- In-person visits: the whole service is remote.
- Hardware repair or data recovery from damaged disks.
- A guarantee that a Windows-only program will work on Linux; if you need one, we help you look for alternatives.
- Loss of files that were not backed up before the installation.
How it works
- You write to us and tell us what computer you have and what you use it for.
- We check that your computer is compatible and suggest the best option.
- We agree on a day and time and tell you what to prepare (a USB stick of 8 GB or more, which will be erased, and the computer's charger).
- By video call or phone call, we guide you through the backup, installation and setup.
- We test together that everything works and answer your first questions.
What you need
- A computer that works, with its charger plugged in.
- A stable internet connection.
- A mobile phone for the call or video call (so we can see your screen and guide you).
- A USB stick of 8 GB or more, with no important files on it.
- Between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the computer and the internet speed.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my photos and documents?
Not if you back them up first. We guide you to copy them to a USB stick, an external drive or the cloud, and put them back on your computer when we finish.
Is Linux hard to use?
It is similar to what you already know: there is a desktop, a menu, a browser and programs for documents. We explain the basics during the session.
Will my Windows programs work?
Many have free alternatives, such as LibreOffice for documents and Firefox for browsing. Some Windows-only programs do not work: we check this before you decide.
Can I go back to Windows?
It is possible to reinstall it, but it requires a license and is a separate service. That is why we first try the system without changing your computer.
