I guess I'm taking a chance by advertising here but it's a worth a punt. I've worked in IT for over 15 years. I currently work in business and school support for a medium sized company but am itching to give it a go myself. I see the money that I'm earning for my boss and I think I'd like a bit of that to be honest. The reality is that really you need more than 1 person to start a support company for lots of reasons so I'm posting this ad to see if there are any experienced GOOD techs out there who feel the same and want to give it a go. I'm based in around the Merseyside and surrounding areas. You will need to be able to hold your own technically and be savvy with supporting businesses and not just schools. Be good with networks, routers, AD, DNS, VPN and all the usual business related IT stuff, not just some person who can tinker with a computer. You also need to be willing to give this a real go. I have a family and can't afford to be half a*sed about it so you must be as dedicated as I am. If this sounds interesting then drop me a message.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for a software similar to that of net support, but for a business scenario. I remember seeing and having to put up with net support in high school. Then we were free, and could mess around. We wrote ipconfig renew and release scripts to evade it. And we even took a look at both softwares for client and server. Good times. But I know how good it is. I used to be close with my computer teacher and she showed us how it works etc. And it works great. The entire school (4,500 students about) uses it. Of course not every student was on a computer but the computer classes and labs had them. And it worked great. Used little from the crappy school computers but allowed full control to the teacher. So I'm currently looking for one that has the abilities of netsupporr but for buisness. I don't want to use netsuppornetsupport due to its price and maintenance fees. I'll be glad to consider anything so please feel free answer with any software that could fit the bill. Side notes: They use about 15 desktops. The owner has a tablet and home computer but also the desktop at work. If the application could allow control it from the android tablet it would be a really big plus. Note the tablet is only used when not in the companys network (aka travel) If anyone knows of one that is in Spanish (as the business's owner lives in mexico, currently visiting) that would be great. If not English is alright they know English just their primary language is Spanish.

wow! I was doing someone a favour as their new (ish) 10th gen i7 laptop a 15s-fq1006na was periodically declaring it has no hard disk installed when turning on. (even though its an NVME) No data loss, no windows complaints and resetting the laptop makes the issue go away... This I thought sounded like a firmware addressable issue.. well f me. When you find the support page for the laptop and go to drivers you have a single option..."order driver media" No Drivers to download, No firmware, no firmware history. yikes! I'm used to the probook experience (where a new firmware is usually available even if the device is 7 years old) and I've recommended HP laptops on my experience with those business products. urk. But wow the domestic products look similar but are a second class device as far as HP is concerned. (out the factory, out of mind) side note: I did look on the western digital website to looks for firmware for the drive but it is up to date.

Hi All I guess this has come up before but has anyone started there own business supporting schools? just wondered how it has worked out and is it worth it?
