Computer Repairs Kelmscott and New-Gift Device Set-Up
A new tablet under the tree and no idea how to make it safe for a ten-year-old. We set up gift devices with accounts, limits and updates so the fun starts without the worry.

Unwrap It, Then Set It Up Properly
The first hour with a new device matters. An account made in a hurry, no screen-time limits and missed updates cause most of the problems we later fix.
We create the right type of account for the child or adult, switch on parental controls where they are wanted, install updates and add the essentials.
Then we show everyone how it works and what to do if something goes wrong. Related help: cyber security.

Parent tip
Use the Child's Correct Birth Year
Many safety features depend on the age entered at sign-up. Getting this wrong can lock features or remove protections.
Use the real date of birth, and keep the adult account separate.
If it has already gone wrong, ask us before you start over.
