Keep your old apps…
Our advanced data migration process can make it possible to move all your old Windows or Mac apps from your old computer to a new one.
…for Windows Machines
We use a dedicated software called Zinstall to migrate applications and all settings from your old Windows computer to the new one. Even if your old Windows 7/8 laptop or desktop computer is not booting or otherwise failing, there is a strong possibility we can move your old apps to a new computer with minimum fuss. If the hard drive (the storage component in your computer) is failing we can still make the attempt at a migration of apps using Zinstall before we move on to a dedicated data recovery from the disk should it be too damaged to run a Zinstall migration.
…for Apple Machines
If your old computer is an Apple machine we use a selection of apps and techniques migrate your old data and / or apps to your new Mac. For simpler migrations where the Macs are not too far apart in terms of macOS, Firmware and hardware age and specification, Apple’s TimeMachine is a great way to copy everything to the new computer from the old.
We do take each case on its merits. What can appear like a simple process can be complicated by Firmware problems or corrupted apps. We have a number of options and tools to use to help get these more complex migrations done to your satisfaction and in record breaking time.
If you’re in the market for a newer Mac and would like all the pain taken out of the process – let us do the hard work for you and call us today.

Fixed my battery after the replacement one was faulty. As a freelancer who depends heavily on their laptop, this quick turnaround made a significant difference and helped avoid missed deadlines. Thank you!

March 28, 2026I recently got in touch with Zen about adding more RAM to my laptop. I had a really good response to my initial query, dropped off the laptop, picked up a few hours later and they gave me a quick run through what they had cleaned up to improve performance. Brilliant service, and saved me a trip to Bristol! Thank you!

February 27, 2026What amazing service from Zen. If I could I would have no hesitation in giving them 6-stars! Thank you Simon, Ray, Dylan and the team for sorting out my laptop issue in such a professional and timely manner. Happy to recommend the team here for all your IT issues.
Sally Mayell
February 24, 2026Saved for a 2nd time! After pouring a cup of coffee on my laptop (dont ask) and tipping it immediately upside down I hoped for the best but no, definitely damaged, black screen etc. I took it into Zen; they were very sympathetic and they hoped to help. First of all changed the mother board and then we could see if it did the job. OMG it worked! It was away for about a week but I went from hating my stupidity to eternally grateful for their care, communications and work. All my data was saved and I gave myself a stern reminder to look after it better. Can totally recommend Zen as the expert help. Thank you Zen 🙂

February 18, 2026I have used Zen several times and will always recommend them. Their service is faultless, clear communication, great explanations to non tech people and have never failed to repair or recover any computer I have taken to them. Teenagers and laptops require an excellent repair service and I am incredibly impressed with the level of professionalism by all the staff I have dealt with at Zen. Great service; thank you!
