Windows 10 support ended in October 2025. Millions of perfectly good laptops and desktops were written off overnight. We quietly install Linux on them instead — and they go on for another decade. Faster, private, secure, and free from the upgrade treadmill.
If your laptop can't run Windows 11, Microsoft's answer is simple: buy a new one. Throw the old one away. But the hardware is fine. The screen still works. The keyboard still works. It's the software that's been locked out.
Linux doesn't care. It'll happily run on a machine from 2010 — and run it well. Most of the people we help are surprised how responsive their "old" computer feels when the bloat is gone.
Not a subscription. Not a gimmick. A careful installation, set up the way you actually use your computer, with a real person on the other end of the phone when you need help.
We tell you plainly whether your machine is worth reviving. No pressure, no upsell — if it's not the right fit, we'll say so.
We pick a distribution based on how you actually use a computer. Email and web? Photos? Light office work? The choice matters, and we make it for you.
Photos, documents, bookmarks, email — all safely transferred. You won't lose a thing, and we'll show you where everything lives.
When something confuses you — and it will at first — you ring us. No ticketing system, no chatbot loop. A real conversation with a human who knows the answer.
After installation, we keep watching. Monthly scans check your system for known vulnerabilities, open ports, and outdated services. You get a plain-English report — and a phone call if something needs attention.
Powered by SourceLockPay once. No surprises. All packages include a thorough pre-install chat, safe data backup, and a full setup tailored to you.
Most home users have no idea what their router or computer is exposing to the internet. Our monthly security scans check for known vulnerabilities, open ports, and outdated services — then send you a plain-English report. Access your full dashboard any time through the client portal.
Most jobs are done within a week of the first phone call. Here's what happens.
Phone or email. You tell us what you use the computer for, and what worries you.
We confirm the machine's a good fit and give you a fixed quote — no surprises later.
Your files are safely copied. Linux is installed. Everything is tested before we hand it back.
We walk you through it in person or remotely. Then 30 days of "ring me any time" support begins.
If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we'd rather answer it properly than have you guess.
I've been running Linux since the mid-1990s, long before it was the polite choice. Back then you had to fight it to make it work. Now you barely have to ask. It's been quietly powering the internet, phones, cars and banks for decades, and it deserves a turn on ordinary people's desks.
I started Seconwind because too many perfectly good computers end up in landfill for no good reason. Every machine I bring back is one that didn't need to be replaced. That matters — to you, to your wallet, and quietly, to the planet. The security monitoring side grew out of the same thinking: you shouldn't need to be a professional to know whether your system is safe.
Tell us a little about your computer and what you use it for. No jargon required — we'll take it from there.
We usually reply within the same working day. If it's urgent, just ring.
