New Computer Setup
A new computer should be ready to work on day one. PXLA handles setup end to end so nothing is missing when it's handed over.
Overview
A brand-new computer straight out of the box still needs a lot of work before it's actually ready for someone to use: accounts, security settings, business applications, printer and network access, and often data transferred from an old device.
PXLA handles the full setup process — not just the basics, but the security configuration and application setup that make the difference between 'technically working' and 'actually ready for this specific employee's job.'
This applies equally to a single new hire's laptop and a batch of computers for an office refresh — the process scales without cutting corners on either.
Before a device is handed over, we confirm what the user needs: accounts, business applications, printer and shared-drive access, and any files to bring across from an old computer. Having that list ready is what turns a new device into a working workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a new computer setup take?
Timing depends on how many devices are involved and which applications need to be installed. We confirm the schedule when we plan the setup.
Can you transfer files from an employee's old computer?
Yes. Data transfer from an old device is a standard part of new computer setup.
Do new computers get security settings applied automatically?
Yes. Every new setup includes baseline security configuration, not just account creation.
What do you need from us before a new computer setup?
The new user's role, the business applications they need, any printers or shared folders they use, and whether files should come from an old computer. We confirm this list before setup starts.
Does new computer setup include software installation?
Yes. Installing and configuring the business applications the user needs is part of setup. For ongoing software changes, see Software Installation & Configuration.
Can you set up multiple computers at once for an office refresh?
Yes. Setup scales from a single new hire's laptop to a full office hardware refresh.
