We paid the geek squad $79 to do a data transfer from one computer to another. They took 3 accounts and put them all together in a single user. When I inquired by phone to customer service about how to get the information into the user accounts I created similar to the old computer, I was told it was "out of her perview," and she suggested I bring it back to the store which I did. The GS there gave me a very convoluted path to getting the information from the one account. When my daughter at home tried to get her information, in 10 minutes she figured out a very easy way to get what she needed out of the folder they created. It was a click and drag option which we then used for each of the accounts. Had the GS spent some time with us discussing options for setting up accounts, we could have avoided this problem. Not only did they not do that, they could not assist us in the difficulty we subsequently had even though it was quite an easy process.
