Online or remote computer repair, what is it? We all hit technology problems at some point or another. Maybe your printer refuses to do its one job. Perhaps your computer’s boot time suddenly slows to a snail-like crawl.

How Remote Computer Repair All Works

So you might be wondering how on earth we can fix your computer without actually being there. How does remote computer repair work? It all boils down to one (really kind of weird when you think about it) truth about computer problems.

Most computer problems happen at the software level.

So let’s jump back to the example of that printer of yours which refuses to print. Sure, it could be because the circuitry is fried or something mechanical is misaligned. But four times out of five, your printer’s devilish and dastardly ways are going to be related to either 1) the software which makes the printer run or 2) the software package sending the printer command to that software.

Those software problems can be fixed from anywhere! So long as you have a good and reliable Internet connection and one of our super-nerds in your back pocket (figuratively speaking).

Common Terms

Remote Access

Remote computer access refers to the ability to access and control a computer from a remote location, over a network, or on the internet. This is done by using specialized software or remote access protocols that allow a user to connect to a remote computer, view its desktop, and use its keyboard and mouse as if they were physically sitting in front of the computer.

Cloud Storage

Cloud storage refers to the ability to store and access data and files over the internet, rather than on a physical storage device. This allows users to access their files from any device with an internet connection, and also share files with others easily.
