Advice / Recommendations

by rickporritt35 . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

Hi – I am a web designer struggling to earn enough at present :^( I am planning to branch out a little and offer some additional general PC services to local folk:

Repairs, upgrades, virus removal, troubleshooting, help with home networking etc.

My experience of these things is mainly just that – personal experience – I’m not from a tech background (albeit I did a night class for PC repair some time ago). I’d like to obtain a really good, really practical, really up-to-date and relevant book that covers all of the obvious topics. I’d also like to obtain a really useful set of indispensable ‘utilities’ on disk(s).

Can anyone recommend either?

Are there some current ‘must-haves’ in one neat package for PC technicians? (I have all the start-up disks and few other bits – ad-hoc). This will be a very ‘low-end’ operation aimed solely at household PCs as opposed to corporate networks.

Thanks in advance for all help/advice
