Grand Valley EZ Tech provides practical, no-nonsense help for everyday technology problems, from desktops and laptops to phones, tablets, home Wi-Fi, and smart TVs that refuse to cooperate.
This is an owner-operated, veteran-owned service backed by years of hands-on experience and formal training in IT Management and Business Administration. That combination delivers real-world solutions explained in plain English, without unnecessary jargon or upselling.
Pricing is kept reasonable, with free initial consultations and clear estimates, so you can decide how to proceed with no pressure or obligation.
The goal is straightforward: explain what’s wrong, explain what it will take to fix it, and then fix it. And if you’d rather skip the explanation and just have it working again, that’s fine too.
Software issues, updates gone wrong, storage problems, backups, malware cleanup, upgrades, new computer setup, and general “why is it doing that?” situations.
Router setup, weak signals, dropped connections, printer or smart device connectivity, and explaining what’s actually going on with your network.
Smart TV setup, streaming apps, buffering issues, sound problems, remotes, antennas, and helping everything talk to each other properly.
Setup, data transfer, email issues, app confusion, storage cleanup, syncing photos, and general usability help.
A lot of people are increasingly frustrated with Microsoft and Windows 11. Forced upgrades, confusing changes, ads and prompts built into the operating system, privacy concerns, and the requirement to replace perfectly good computers just to meet new hardware rules have left many users feeling boxed in. Add to that subscriptions, constant updates, and features you never asked for, and it’s no surprise that people are looking for alternatives.
If this sounds familiar, there are alternatives, one of which is Linux. Modern Linux systems can run well on existing hardware, avoid forced upgrades, and put you back in control, without needing to be a tech expert.
Switching to Linux might be for you if one or more of these things is true:
You have an older computer or one that ran just fine on Windows 10 but is not supported for Windows 11.
You don't need Windows-only applications like Adobe Cloud Creative, Microsoft Office Desktop apps (there are cloud/versions and Linux alternatives), Autodesk apps, or if you are a serious competitive gamer that relies on games with anti-cheating systems.
Your everyday computer tasks consist of reading email, browsing the internet, managing your documents and files, and saving or editing your photos and videos (and more!).
Your Windows desktop or laptop is a personal-use machine (Linux is perfectly fine for supporting business operations, but only if you know what you're doing, and it's not recommended for just exploring).
You're tired of the constant problems with Windows, including crashes, unexpected updates, pop-up ads, and AI (specifically Copilot) being installed without your consent.
If you're curious about the Linux option, watch the YouTube videos below - they provide a brief overview of your options for Linux and even how to install it yourself if you want. If you're still interested but would rather have some assistance, call, text, or send an email to Grand Valley EZ Tech to learn more about whether a Linux-based system might work for you and how we can get you there.
