Genuine question - I run a small IT support company and personally have sorted out a few members from here and other sites.
But if you didn't know of someone in the community, who would you go to get a PC sorted? |

"My husband
This... Only my husband 
But when you are the husband, where do you go if you can't fix it yourself?"
But I’m not the husband
I’m the wife

If I can't, generally there's no point taking it to the monkeys in some high street "support" team.
A reasonable level of understanding and Google usually get most things sorted.
But I have been tinkering in computing/networking most of my life. |

Can you do data recovery from a hard disk that isn't powering up? |

My cousin, who's very experienced with IT. He's taken images of my system, so likely to have found everything that's unusual or outlines my horny lifestyle.
If I didn't have him, I'd try to do it myself, with help from uni IT support, as I'm a student.
My will has instructions for my best friend to inherit my IT stuff immediately, so that family don't have to get the gory full picture. |

I’d take it to the local pc repair shop. Isn’t that what they are for? Any reputable business will be operating to the highest professional standards, their business depends on their reputation. I don’t have anything on my pc I wouldn’t be happy for them to access in the course of their job. |

Hmmm, I admire your faith in humanity.
What you say is true of the business, but less so of their employees... |

Possibly - I have recovered data from drives by transplanting the platter inside into an identical donor drive and quickly backing up the data.
Is the drive an internal drive from a machine or an external USB type attached drive? |

I have a close friend who does computer repair. He's fixed my laptop a few times. He's also known me since we were both 11 and is engaged to one of my closest friends who knows nearly everything about me so is probably not shocked by anything he would find haha. |
