I am aware of a person falsely - still - claiming to represent themselves as my business on Government registries and Facebook.

As Woolgoolga Computers and IT, I have traded here for many years and am taking legal and regulatory action.

Previous customers with warranty and support issues may contact the other person to take up their claim as he is now theoretically the registered holder of the business. Any legal elections/claims should be taken to this individual in the first instance.
However - I continue to advertise and operate in the local area offering my usual excellent professional and affordable IT service.
Thank you for your continued support.

As good as these older computers are, running Windows 10 now will become more and more a security risk for your data.
I’m currently seeing customers who have had previous IT service on their computer, with poor security efforts installed such as antivirus and old versions of Windows 10, which are in no way capable of managing security needs in the modern environment.
If you would like to know how to safely and securely keep your computer environment contemporary, with the necessary and industry standard methods and best practices – which seem to be ignored in a number of cases that I’m seeing – please get in touch with me Woolgoolga Computers.
You can message here or find me on Google.
Don’t take chances with ill informed technicians, poor and outdated advice, and fundamentally incompetent service standards.

If you’re looking to upgrade or update to a Windows 11 system, I have some good refurbished PCs and laptops with warranty, available today!

Don’t get stuck with a technician who recommends you stay with Windows 10 and that antivirus will save you – it will not. Windows 10 is now unsupported by Microsoft and no further security updates will be rolled out.

If you’d like a new machine, please get in touch. I can offer your suggestions and recommendations if you’d like to think about purchasing a new machine from one of the well-known retailers.

Get honest capable advice and service - no one will keep your machine, and unlike other local mobile technicians require you to go to the police or worry for weeks before you get it back.

Woolgoolga Computers and IT is solely operated by Alex, give me a call or message for an honest advice, capable and experienced technical knowledge and no stress.

Mobile service available - I come to you. Workshop service available.

Warning about continuing on Windows 10 -

Using an unpatched operating system directly exposes your personal finances and private data to theft.

Continuing to use Windows 10 means your operating system no longer receives security patches from Microsoft.

While a VPN hides your location and antivirus software looks for known "bad files," neither can fix the underlying code of the Windows system itself.

Risks to Personal Finances and Privacy

• Financial Theft: theft of bank logins and credit card details in real-time.
• Identity Theft: hackers can steal tax returns, scanned IDs, and saved passwords.
• Ransomware: lock outs demanding payment

So do you have a Windows 10 PC? I highly recommend you update your system to Windows 11 as soon as possible.

You can always call me - Alex - at Woolgoolga Computers and IT for a chat about your needs.
I have many years experience with Windows 10 and upgrades, also used Windows 11 PC systems for sale.

Make sure you’re talking to Alex at the real Woolgoolga Computers and IT. A fake local page is being run by someone known.

Computers showing up recently where Windows 10 is installed and people have not upgraded to Windows 11.

Windows 10 is no longer supported by Microsoft and security updates are no longer rolling out. This makes the system unsafe to use personal data, especially on the Internet.

There’s a correct method and pathway to upgrading to Windows 11. Particularly important if you want to keep the integrity of your data and your programs, and get a verifiable receipt and proof of work - and get your machine back promptly and on time! Get in touch with Alex at Woolgoolga Computers to get the professional and knowledgeable service required for this job.

The second photo shows the system which had Windows 11 installed on a non-compatible system with an older CPU …
Here the risks become apparent - Windows 11 has not updated for one and a half years and yet checking Windows update, the report says that Windows is up-to-date!

These are the types of issues, along with failing search functions, failing Windows features and other glitches, that show up when technicians cut corners or do not know the proper procedures or industry standard and benchmarks for computer systems and service.

Woolgoolga Computers - for professional knowledgeable service. Ask for Alex.

Workshop Update: "Unverified" Windows 11 Upgrades Can Fail

Yesterday I came across a PC system which had had Windows 11 forcefully installed onto a non-compatible A3 – seventh generation CPU machine.
Sadly this is false economy - Windows 11 has distinct hardware requirements to run safely and properly.
Windows 10 has become redundant and security and update patches will no longer be rolled out automatically.

The result? The system was stuck on version 23H2, that is a 2023 rollout - unable to process critical security updates, and was suffering from significant stability issues.

The Lesson:
Just because a computer can run an OS doesn't mean it should. Forced upgrades often:
• Block essential Windows Update paths.
• Create driver conflicts that slow down your daily work.
• Leave your data vulnerable because security patches won't install.

Since 2016, I have seen many "workarounds" that eventually lead to system failure. My job at Woolgoolga Computers & I.T. is to ensure your machine is not just running, but is stable and secure.

If you are unsure if your current PC is truly compatible with Windows 11, I provide honest, competent technical assessments based on a decade of experience—not "quick fixes" that cause headaches later.

A quick hint  for everyone over the holiday period:
Backing up your data is important — but so is the health of the drive you’re backing up to.

I often find that people assume backup drives they’ve had for 5–10 years are still reliable because they power on and appear to work. In reality, older drives can:
• develop bad sectors
• suffer silent data corruption
• fail without warning when you actually need them

A backup is only useful if the data can be restored and the drive storing it is still healthy.
Professionals know about data loss but also prevention of this and there are industry standards to deal with this - a competent IT person should be describing solutions rather than generic AI junk which just makes you worry (using fear, uncertainty, and doubt – a known sales tactic).

With many many years of data management experience, I can and do provide honest expert advice based on years of technical experience — no sales pressure, no AI fact guessing, no errors with data loss —-

Why Professional Standards Matter:

I keep hearing reports of "mobile IT" operators losing customer data during simple resets or drive upgrades. In one recent case, an operator accidentally wiped a customer's entire smartphone data because they failed to verify the backup before hitting reset.
When you bring your machine to my workshop, you aren't getting a "cash job" or a gamble. You are getting a logged, tracked service backed by a years of local reputation. I don't use scare tactics—I use proven technical procedures to ensure your data stays where it belongs: with you.

Just facts worth keeping in mind.
