GentleTech has truly been there for me over the years when no one else was. From organising my family’s digital records and securing my devices to helping me with slow equipment, they’ve exceeded my expectations every step of the way. They make even the most complex things so easy to understand and use.
One instance that stands out is when I accidentally installed Office 365 on my laptop. I hadn’t planned to switch from my previous setup, but GentleTech turned it into a valuable learning opportunity. They guided me through the new tools and features, from understanding the updated Word layout to exploring OneDrive’s cloud storage. By the end, I felt confident and even excited to use the new format.
When I wanted to start using WhatsApp on my laptop, GentleTech was there again. They set up WhatsApp Desktop, connected my phone, synced my contacts, and showed me how to send files, images, and messages directly from my computer. Their step-by-step guidance made it all feel so simple and secure.
I used to feel like I should already know these things, but GentleTech’s patience and expertise have helped me not just catch up but stay ahead. What once felt overwhelming has become manageable and even enjoyable. Thanks to them, I’m prepared for the future, and I can’t thank them enough.
