What we do...
North Shore PC is dedicated to bringing computers into
the home in an unobtrusive manner that allows your family to utilize the positive aspects
of technology while avoiding the dangers that arise from bringing the world into your
livingroom. Computers are everywhere. Our children need them for education, we need them for our
everyday tasks at work. There are very few areas that computers have not reached. For this
reason we strive to make technology blend in with your home, rather than take it over.

If you are thinking about upgrading
to Windows 10 or 11 from Windows 7 or 8.1
Download the Windows 10 or 11 Upgrade Advisor to check
your system
Windows
11 is the current Microsoft operating system. You can get a free copy from Microsoft
if you are already running windows 7 or 8.
Before loading a new operating system be sure you have a complete backup
of all your important files. Many upgrades will format your hard disk and
all current data on the drive will be lost. Do your research before you
attempt to upgrade your OS!
Windows 10 and 11
If you are thinking about upgrading to Windows 10 or
11 be
sure to check with your computer manufacturer before starting the upgrade!

NSPC offers several networking solutions.
Wireless:
Wireless networks have become very popular in the last several years due to major
advances in wireless technology. Many manufacturers offer high speed networking equipment
that is both affordable and secure. The home user, as well as small business
users can share a high speed internet connection or share files with each of the
computers on the network, all without the expense and damage associated with
running wires. The equipment needed varies with the individual network and
type of internet connection, but the basic building blocks of any wireless network are
the modem, wireless router, and wireless network
interface cards (nic) for each computer on the wireless network. Many new laptop
computers have these built in.
Wired:
Wired networks are the traditional way to interconnect computers. They offer
an affordable, secure method to connect as many computers as you like. Wired
networks consist of a of a router or hub, network interface card for each
computer, and the cable to connect them. Wired networking is still the choice
for networks where security is an issue or where all the computers are either in
the same room or are close to each other. We will be happy to assist you
in your purchase, installation, or any other aspect of your hardware/software
needs.
Hybrid:
Most existing networks can incorporate wireless technology without completely
rebuilding the network. As new computers are added no new wiring is needed, and
because they are wireless they can be moved at will. This is the perfect
solution for people who are adding a laptop and would like the added versatility
of a wireless network without disturbing the existing infrastructure.

TIPS ON DATA
SECURITY
for business and personal safety
Computer
Security information from the FTC and other sources 
can be found on this page from
www.mbaonline.com.
This is a link that will take you away from the North Shore Personal
Computers web site.
Protection
Hard disk data backup is a must for all computer owners. Statistics show
that most hard disks represent an average of 3,000 hours of work. A "crash" can be caused by software failure, mechanical
failure, an electrical spike or brownout, fire, water, coffee, or even dust and smoke
particles. Partial hard disk failure is also common. Sectors of a disk can lose magnetic
retentiveness, resulting in loss of data or corrupt files. The data, and your investment
of both time and effort, should be protected from loss. NSPC recommends all systems,
including those used for games be backed up. NSPC will be happy to install an easy to use
automated backup system.
Computer Recycling
Take care with your data
Computers and electronic devices can be dropped off at
ABT or Best Buy. Be sure to remove your data before donation.
