New Years Full PC Tune Up Special for $30! Stop in or call today.


Windows 11 has recently been released to specific PC’s. The look and feel of Windows has changed immensely from Windows 10. Windows 11 gives the user way more options on customizing every aspect of their PC. The sleek new design is definitely an upgrade along with its new features. The upgraded Voice Dictation option is a plus. It now allows for auto punctuation when using the feature. There are a lot of new options via shortcuts that make working on 11 easier. The new option of multiple desktops makes it easy to switch between work and play quickly and efficiently. To quickly open a new desktop, use the Windows icon + CNTL + D. The new snap layout option in Windows 11 is an upgrade from 10 as well. Now you can customize your windows using the snap feature (Windows icon + Z) utilizing all of the screen space with all of your windows open. There are new app options in 11. There is a fully upgraded widgets option that you can customize to your preference. You can select widgets like weather, news, etc to show personalized news articles to your liking. You open the widgets menu using Windows icon + W. There are also so many options to customize everything from your windows, desktops, themes, etc. The new built in Windows Security is a nice feature, but would not suggest only utilizing that program. It still is not quite strong enough for real time malware protection. The refreshed look and feel of Windows 11 is a nice change in the tech world and I am personally enjoying it so far. Let me know what you think of it in the comments.

Just a reminder to clean out your electronics monthly. So much dust and debris gets caught in computers and can overheat and fry your motherboard. We suggest using compressed air/canned duster to clean them out.


Total Access now specializes in not only WINDOWS based systems but MAC based systems as well! We perform an array of repairs on laptops, desktops, tablets, phones, printers, etc. Stop in today and hire a geek to fix your electronics!


Here’s your friendly reminder to ALWAYS keep electronics plugged into surge protectors/clip strips. If the power goes out, that will pop the surge protector before it pops your electronics. Doing this will limit damage done to your TVs, computers, tablets, phones, etc.


If you end up with computers not working properly after this upcoming PG&E public safety power shutoff, bring it into  Total Access Data Recovery and we will perform a FREE diagnostic on your system.


Total Access Data Recovery & Computer Repair can remove viruses, tune up your PC, optimize your PC and so much more. Hire a geek today!
