Listing: Operating System Installation Apple / PC From £80

Send or bring the exact model number and a clear description of the operating system installation requirement. We confirm compatibility before accepting a model-specific installation.

Common requirements

• A Mac or PC requires a new or clean operating system installation

• An operating system needs to be reinstalled following a fault or performance issue

• A computer requires an operating system upgrade or configuration

• A business needs a defined operating system installation or setup task

Similar symptoms can have more than one cause. We assess the device first and obtain approval before carrying out any different or additional paid repair.

What is included

• Requirements, hardware and environment check

• Compatibility assessment for the requested operating system

• Operating system installation work described in the specific listing

• Essential installation and configuration testing

• A concise completion summary

• Approval before any additional time, parts, licences, software or subscriptions

Complete service: this listing is for diagnosis and professional operating system installation work by Minko’s Macs. It is not a stand-alone software licence or parts listing.

Important data note

Operating system installation can involve changes to or removal of existing data, depending on the installation method and condition of the device. Customers should maintain a suitable backup before work begins. Where data backup, migration or recovery is required, this may be treated as additional work and will be discussed and approved before charging more.

How the service works

1. Confirm the requested operating system and affected Mac or PC

2. Assess hardware compatibility, dependencies, data risk and access requirements

3. Agree the practical scope and any required downtime

4. Install, configure and test the operating system

5. Provide the result, limitations and recommended follow-up

Turnaround: Straightforward operating system installation work is normally completed within 24–48 working hours after check-in or the booked appointment. Data migration, recovery, hardware faults, licensing, access issues or additional faults can extend this; we will explain the next step.

Service assurance

We stand behind the specific installation work completed and will review a recurrence connected with that work. New hardware faults, third-party changes, later software updates, malware reinfection, licensing issues and unrelated problems are not treated as the same fault. Any replacement part fitted as part of an agreed repair carries a one-year warranty with the liquid-damage exclusions stated above. Statutory rights remain unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

Are parts, software licences and subscriptions included?
Only when the listing explicitly says so. Any additional hardware, operating system licences, software licences or subscriptions require approval.

Can you install macOS or Windows?
We can assess the Mac or PC and confirm whether the requested operating system is compatible before proceeding.

Do you provide remote support?
Where appropriate, the customer initiates the appointment, approves connection/control and can end the session at any time. Never send passwords or one-time codes.

Will my files be kept?
This depends on the installation required and the condition of the computer. We assess the data risk before work begins. A backup or data-migration service may be required separately.

How long does it take?
Straightforward operating system installation work is normally completed within 24–48 working hours after check-in or appointment; larger business projects are scheduled separately.
