Preparing for a Remote Session
Installing Computer Geeks remote software
Please print the following information and note down the information to give to Computer Geeks at a later date.
The installation of the software required for Computer Geeks to remote onto your system takes just 2 minutes to set up.
This process will guide you through the setup.
During the process, you will be asked to create a password. Please take a note of this. A 9-digit unique ID code will also be generated.
You may wish to make a note of these here for your convenience:
Password: ____________________________
ID: ______________________________
Both of these pieces of information will be required by the Computer Geeks team to complete the remote session.
