§ 03 — Is This For Me?

Made for regular people.
Not for IT pros.

You'll find it useful if

You use a Windows 11 computer for email, banking, video calls, or shopping — and you've ever felt out of your depth when something seemed wrong.

You won't need to

Install anything new, learn jargon, or buy software. Every recommendation uses settings already on your computer.

You probably won't need it if

You already work in IT or run servers in your basement. This is the version you'd hand your mom.

Tenure 25+ yrs Rating 4.9 / 5 Service Area Pinellas County Credential Microsoft Certified

I'm Jeff Hamilton. I've been making house calls in Pinellas County since 2004 — Microsoft certified, 4.9 stars on Google, and I still fix every computer myself.

I wrote this guide because most of my service calls start with something the customer could have prevented if they'd known one or two settings to flip. Now you'll know.

It's the same advice I give over the phone, in the same plain language. The difference is you can read it whenever, share it with a family member, or print the last chapter and stick it on the fridge.

Send me
the guide.
It's free.

And if you're in Pinellas County and you'd rather just have someone come fix it: 727-239-6797. Free diagnosis, same-day house calls, and if I can't fix it, you don't pay.
