Bumpy start but exceeded my expectations... 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. read more

I had an issue with the sewing, embroidery and printing machines in my office, at first i called to the shop at the bottom of the ramp and they wouldn't entertain me, then i went to platinum computers in lister street and they charged me £25 to tell me that they couldn't do anything my dad used to use a shop in church street, so i drove down church street only to find these guys had moved directly next door in the old HSBC bank, i told the guy behind the counter my issue and he advised me to call him from my office and he would fix my issue over the internet remotely. i took him less than five minutes to resolve and the guy was so patien with me in educating me on how to do ashared connection They didnt even charge me all he asked was that i dropped some buscuts off for the staff, and i did, but i also left a tip... i could thank this business enough read more

Very happy with the service from this shop. I took mt desktop in as I thought I had all of my pictures off my computer. this shop managed to find them. But advised me on an upgrade and the hard drive needed replacing. as I was confident on these guys ability after retrieving all of my photos I went ahead with it. I also decided tp upgraded 2 of my laptops aswell by adding solid-state drives and more RAM after their recommendation. Honestly, I didn't know what they were talking about, but they assured me it would make them like new plus better than ever. I could not have made a better choice. They now perform lots better than when they were new! It was all done within a day and a half. they also advised me to start making backups. so rather than sell me an external drive, they told me where I could buy an external drive as they had none in stock and they found me what I needed for the best price and sent me to Tescos to buy it. then showed me how to use it. to do my backups. I couldn't recommend this company enough! customer service first rate and unsurpassable. read more

Kingfisher were very helpful in helping to get my computer back on track. My computer suddenly stopped working and I didn't have any idea what to do. I gave Dave a quick ring and he explained all the posible causes of the computer not switching on. He came to my home at a time and date to suit me, in my case it was in the next half and hour. The problem turned out to be my power supply, there was no humming and arrring, he told me the facts and told me there and then how much it would cost. I was very happy with his quote and the job was done the same day for me, what could be better. I will be using kingfisher again most definately and will be telling all of my friends where to go for their PC Repairs read more

I can't recommend Kingfisher enough, they really are the business. If like me you use Apple Mac computers then there really is no one else around this neck of the woods for Mac repairs at really good value for money. Kingfisher have been life savers to me on more than one occasion. For this reason alone they are worth a good 5 Stars. cheers Nick Jones (Washington, Tyne & Wear) read more
