    • Would you like UCS to reinstall your operating system on your new hard drive? Provide your operating system CD and Product Key #. Reinstalling the operating system is available for a flat fee.

    • Would you like UCS to reinstall software on your new hard drive? Provide UCS with your software CDs and registration information (e.g. Microsoft Office), and UCS will install software for you.

Other upgrade installations will be billed at the hourly rate.
