Remote Tech Support - How It Works

How a remote session works

1. Book your hour

Pick a time that suits you in the booking calendar - evenings and weekends included. You get a confirmation right away.

2. We connect

At your appointment time, Mike sends you a one-click connection link by email or text. You click it, and he can see your screen and fix things while you watch.

3. You stay in control

You can see everything that happens, chat the whole time, and end the session with one click at any moment. When it is done, the connection is gone - not dormant, not saved.

What remote support can fix

  • Slow computers, startup cleanup, and full tune-ups
  • Windows and Mac updates that refuse to cooperate
  • Email problems, printer software, and app installations
  • Scam cleanups - if you let a fake “Microsoft technician” in, we clean up and secure everything
  • One-on-one training: backups, password managers, browsers, and the basics

What needs a house call instead

Hardware problems - a machine that will not power on, cracked screens, failing drives, new PC setup with data transfer, Wi-Fi coverage, and wiring. If remote turns out to be the wrong tool, we stop, and you only pay for the time used - an on-site visit gets scheduled from there.

A safety promise: Mike Cote Tech LLC never cold-calls, never pops up on your screen uninvited, and never asks for card details over an unexpected phone call. If someone you did not book asks for remote access to your computer, hang up - that is a scam. (And if it already happened, that is exactly what our cleanup sessions are for.)

What you need

  • A working internet connection on the computer that needs help
  • Your phone nearby, so we can talk while working
  • Your login password for the computer
