| What is involved with transferring
files from one computer platform to another?
In a perfect world, transferring files from one computer platform to another would
be one simple step. LCH Technologies, LLC consultants provide a complete file
transfer service, which includes installing and configuring operating systems
and locating, converting, and transferring files from one platform to another.
In an effort to work within your normal office hours, LCH Technologies, LLC
will come to your location to perform the transfer of files. We have found that
using this method adds security and safety for your computer system and tape backup
peripherals.
 When
your computer is transferring files, LCH Technologies, LLC consultants can work
on other projects as well, which saves you extensive labor charges. Another way
to save money is to consider performing some of the simpler, but often monotonous,
steps yourself:
- Organize your files
It is a good idea to organize your files when converting to a new platform or
to another computer using the same platform. Place the files you would like converted
in folders on your desktop or hard drive (e.g., Word document files in a "Word
to transfer" folder, spreadsheets in an "Excel to transfer" folder,
etc.). The consultant will not have to search for data files and will know exactly
which files to transfer.
- Install appropriate application software
When converting to a new platform or to another computer using the same platform,
you must have the appropriate application software CDs (e.g. Microsoft Word for
Windows, Adobe PhotoShop for Windows, etc.) available for the consultant to install
and configure on your computer.
- Change your file format extensions
When converting to a new platform, be aware that file format extensions differ
(the file extension is found at the end of a file name), and often need to be
converted. For example, a Microsoft Word document does not require (and may not
have) an extension on a Mac platform, but does on a PC. So file name conversions
are often necessary. Certain symbols used in the file name also differ between
platforms.
If your hard drive is bad, would you like LCH Technologies to back
up your data?
For an hourly fee, LCH Technologies provides data recovery services. If your hard
drive seems to be failing, LCH Technologies, LLC can often save your data. LCH
Technologies, LLC consultants can transfer the data to a CD or to a new hard drive
at your request.
Would you like LCH Technologies to install a new hard drive?
LCH Technologies, LLC can provide and install a new hard drive and transfer your
data to your new hard drive. Remember, this is not your software, but your data
only.
Would you like LCH Technologies, LLC to also reinstall your software
on your new hard drive?
Provide LCH Technologies, LLC consultants with your software CDs and registration
information (e.g. Microsoft Office), and we will install your software, as well
as your data, for you. LCH Technologies, LLC services are billed at an hourly
rate.
Reinstalling operating systems, transferring data files and data recovery are
just some of the services that LCH Technologies, LLC consultants provide.
LCH Technologies, LLC services are available as an on-site service to save
you time, money and effort to have your computer system data transferred, recovered
or backed up in the most efficient and the most economical way possible. We provide
the extra effort so you don't have to. |
