Windows 10 & 11 Installation Services
Is your computer failing to boot? Are you trapped in a 'Repair Loop'? We provide professional, clean installations of Microsoft Windows to restore your PC's performance.
The Foundation of a Healthy Computer
At Leeds Computer & Laptop Repairs, we understand that the operating system (OS) is the heartbeat of your computer. When Windows becomes corrupted, slow, or infected, your powerful hardware becomes useless. Our Windows Installation service is more than just inserting a USB stick; it is a comprehensive restoration of your digital life.
Why Do I Need a Fresh Install?
Over months and years of use, every Windows computer accumulates "digital rot." This includes:
- Registry Errors: Broken links in the system database that cause crashes.
- Leftover Files: Gigabytes of useless data from programs you uninstalled years ago.
- Driver Conflicts: Old printer or graphics drivers clashing with new updates.
- Malware Remnants: Hidden viruses that antivirus software quarantined but didn't fully remove.
A "Reset this PC" option often carries these problems over to the new version. Our Clean Install process wipes the drive completely (after backing up your data) and installs a pristine, factory-fresh version of Windows 10 or 11. The result is a computer that often runs faster than when it was new.
Windows 11 Upgrades on Older Hardware
Microsoft has introduced strict requirements for Windows 11, including TPM 2.0 security chips and specific processor generations. This has left millions of perfectly good laptops "obsolete" overnight.
We believe in sustainability. Our technicians can bypass these arbitrary restrictions safely, allowing us to install Windows 11 on your older Intel i5 or i7 laptop. This extends the life of your device by another 3-5 years, saving you the cost of a new machine and keeping e-waste out of landfills. We ensure that you still receive critical security updates and that your system remains stable.
Our Installation Process
We follow a rigorous checklist for every installation:
- Data Backup: We manually copy your Documents, Photos, Desktop, and Downloads to our secure offline server.
- Drive Health Check: We scan your Hard Drive or SSD for physical errors. Installing Windows on a failing drive is a waste of time, so we verify the hardware first.
- The Wipe: We format the partition, removing all viruses, file fragments, and partition errors.
- Installation: We install the latest build of Windows (avoiding hours of updates later).
- Driver Hunt: We don't rely on Windows Update. We manually source the latest official drivers for your Graphics Card, Chipset, and Wi-Fi card.
- Debloat: We strip out the advertising, trialware, and telemetry tracking that Microsoft bundles with the OS.
- Data Restore: We put your files back exactly where you expect them.
Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) Resolution
If you are seeing errors like CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, your Windows installation is critically damaged. These errors often occur after a failed update or a sudden power cut. While many shops will just wipe the machine immediately, we attempt to repair the Master Boot Record (MBR) and system files first. If a reinstall is necessary, we use advanced tools to mount your drive and recover your data before we wipe it, so you don't lose your precious photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my paid programs (Office/Photoshop)?
You will need to reinstall them, but you won't lose your license. We can help you find your product keys or log back into your Adobe/Microsoft account to redownload the software you own.
How long does it take?
A standard clean install takes 24 hours. If you need it urgently, we offer an Express Service which can be completed same-day (within 4 hours) for an additional fee.
Can you install Windows on a Mac?
Yes. We can set up "Boot Camp" which allows you to switch between macOS and Windows on your MacBook, giving you the best of both worlds.
