QuestionIf I purchase an Apple MacBook Air from Amazon, will Geek Squad come to my home and transfer my data from my old MacBook Air?
Asked 4 years ago by Dene.
- Answer Hi Dene. Thank you for your question! You're more than welcome to do that. We may also be able to price match that as it could simplify the process. As far as the data transfer, we can likely do it in the home but it may be quicker and cheaper to do in the store. We'd like to know more about the situation so we can help you out. To get started, please call us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778 to provide us with more information so we can best take care of you.
