This is an excellent book for anyone interested in getting away from the Microsoft monopoly, viruses, spyware, Blue Screen of Death, etc. Easy to read, well organized, simple yet concise with a smattering of humor. If you have some knowledge on how to use MS Windows and want to put it to use in a better/safer way, Try Linux  with this Book. Comes with bootable CD that allows you to test your hardware for Linux compatability and try it out. Linux has come a long way and is ready for the GUI only user. The best "newbie" book I've seen.

This book takes you through many of the features that are unique to this new operating system.  Moving from Vista to Windows 8 Pro was definitely a big leap.  A book like this really help to learn the areas that are not available in previous OS such as Sky Drives, Apps, Charms, File History and many, many others.

This book is well presented (with some small grammar issues...very few).  It is easy to understand.  Lot of pictures to show what you should be seeing.  At the end of each chapter is a summary, questions for you to review.

Also, each chapter is a lesson in itself and you can go to digitalclassroom.com/windows8 to view video tutorials.  Very cool.  I learned how to set up the Mail app and about the People app.  I may or may not every use these apps, but the more I do, I just might make them my defaults instead of Outlook and other browsers.

I think you'll be pleased with this book.  One of the things about this book is that it is not put out by Microsoft.  I could tell because one of the sections talked about for security, you can turn off the Microsoft Account in order to keep your data safe.  But, in Windows 8 Pro, some of the apps require you to sign in with your Microsoft Account.

I recommend this book.  It's easy to follow and you don't have to go straight through.  You can pick and choose chapters so that you can select what section you wish to learn.

Help Line Tiger edition is formatted very nicely with graphics, screenshots, sidebar sections called Take note and Technically speaking. Take note explains the application being discussed and it's uses and the Technically speaking sections that get into what the application, hardware or service is doing that you don't see.

There is a lot of "how do I do this" types of information. I have been a computer technician for many years and have used a lot of technical books and while I have only had this one a short time it is the first book that I go to as was Help Line X Panther.

This is a real go to book for troubleshooting hardware, software, system networking and user profile issues. This book will help you diagnose a problem, tell you how to fix it and where to get the tool to fix it if need be. It will walk you through creating bootable hard drives and DVD's, configuring firewalls, installing 3rd party applications, configuring permissions. System preferences and recovering from application and system crashes.

The book also covers the iApps, iCal, iChat, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, iPod, iSync and iTunes applications, networking, user profiles, hardware, UNIX commands and so much more.

Help Line Tiger covers all the differences between Tiger and Panther in detail. It covers just about any issue you could come across in depth but concisely which every user and technician can appreciate. It is very skillfully written and presented.

This book will be very helpful for everyone from the beginner to the most advanced user and technician. As far as OS X Tiger goes this is the one size fits all desktop reference book. I can't think of a single short coming with this book. This book is worth every penny.

This is another outstanding example of great technical writing and another example of why Peachpit press press puts out the best books consistently.

Here's an oddity.  A computer book that's both comprehensive and easy to use.  For anyone wanting to learn all about Windows XP without intimidation, look no further.  The book is well organized, starting with elementary basics (such as general computer basics), then moving on to a wide range of topics:
Working with digital cameras
Setting up a home network
Web publishing
Creating/editing videos
Creating audio CDs
Customizing your computer
And much more.
Each task is explained in easy-to-read text and, of course, with visuals.  Very helpful, but written primarily for beginners, NOT for XP or computer veterans.
CD-ROM contains an evaluation version of Paint Shop Pro, FreeAmp music player,
AbyssAudio Collection, and an e-version of the book.

I had become comfortable  with my Windows XP, Pack 2, but when I first tried out this new computer(a Christmas gift) with the big Samsung sceen and all of these features on the screen, I was overwhelmed.  I had done the  Dell  exercises on line (no  help) ed and read Windows 8 tutorials from online, but this Book is by far above even any Dummy book I've had  I was just so thankful it was  recommended to me.  He presents  topics in a clear understandable manner and  the illustrations are very good.  It will be by at my side for quite some time.

What would I do without a Windows for Dummies book?  I love these books.  I always make sure to order one for any upgraded Windows programs that I download.  It's just too easy to look in the book whenever I have a question and it's convenient to use in the middle of the night when I have time.  lol  These books explain everything!  A MUST for any Windows upgrades.

This  has everything you need to know about Windows 10. Dating back in time when the Windows changed the world in the 80s, it was really interesting in understanding how it all came about. The book also explained the reasons Windows 8 was a disaster and how it is different with Windows 10. Not only is Windows 10 different from Windows 8 but also XP, 7, and other operating systems. It helped me clarify the difference from earlier versions of Windows. It was a good marketing strategy when Microsoft offered Windows 10 free for a limited time to those who have legitimate copies of Windows 7 or 8. It was to regain the trust of the people.

The author's writing was clear and even included videos, icons, images, and I appreciate that there was a Windows 10 Beginner's guide video series included by the author.

Windows 10 is so convenient.  I found this book really helpful in learning the new features and improvements of Windows 10. There were features that I was not aware of before I got to read this book. Each page was informative and covered many related areas of the operating system.

The author made it easier for the reader to weigh the pros and cons of Windows 10 by explaining in details and providing a list format for easier read. The pros outweighs the cons. At the end of the book you will see a glossary of terms and a free bonus.

This book is worth more than you will pay for it. If you are using Windows 10 or considering an upgrade, this is the book for you.

Woody Leonhard (the author), is without a doubt, the number one expert on windows. Because he is the number one expert, I purchased his reference book "Windows 8 for Dummies"  before loading Windows 8 on my computer. I don't believe the installation would have went as smoothly as it did if I didn't have the book.

Paul Thurrott has done a wonderful job explaining the Windows 7 environment and providing excellent clue on how to customize your system to meet your needs.  When Microsoft's O/S falls short Paul has included suggestions on 3rd party solutions.

As a reference document Windows 7 secrets is excellent, however when you combine the updates on his website: [...] the cost of the book is well worth the investment.  My hat is off to Paul and Rofael Rivera for the great job on this book.

This is a great book for reference in general. It covers XP across the board and gives some good defenitions.
I was impressed at how it gives you step by step instructions for installing all versions of XP. Including OEM versions on a new hard drive.
It also explains some of the new technologies that Microsoft has incorporated into XP such as the NTFS file system.
This book has helped me as a newbie to XP navigate my way around this new OS. I would buy this book if you are new to XP Home or Pro.

I bought this from "ioweiowe57". He sent the item within a short period and time and the item itself is an excellent in Espanol Guide. It is a very detailed and clear walkthrough of Windows XP. I am sure that the publisher, Anaya Multimedia, has made as good a product for Vista/Windows7 or any other products guide they have written. I do technical writing myself so I appreciate greatly when another technical writing team turns out a good product that I have to use.

Excellent Seller - Excellent Product - Excellent Service.

Like many other PC geeks, I looked at Windows XP and its eye-candy UI with suspicion when it first came out, but I've come to love it.  It's rock solid -- I've never had a single system crash in the last two years, even though as a gadget freak I install and try out new hardware a lot -- it's fast, and its plug-n-play feature is so much better than any other operating system.  Service Pack 2 makes XP even better, esp. in the security arena.  It now comes with a better firewall and turns off some default settings that used to be on which could invite security problems.  (The flip side of this increased security meausre is you constantly get warnings.)

XP Home is great for home use.  If you want file system-level encryption, true file permission settings and more networking options, opt for the Professional edition.

I highly recommend teh book "Windows XP Inside Out, 2nd edition" if you are interested in optimzing your XP system and/or learning advanced techniques.

It is a very informative book!
For my work I needed a guide for Windows 10. It was necessary for me to sort out New Microsoft Windows 10 very quickly.  Having read the book I was absolutely satisfied. There are new useful features of Windows 10 which are explained very good. You will get a compact guide from this book and the author uses simple words to explain the functions of each computer terms in order to be very comprehensible.
It is a perfect guide for Windows 10.
I highly recommend it for everyone!

This is another great Windows Book for the Windows IT guy.  I goes over all the items that I need, I am using it to train my Junior admin.  So thank you Microsoft for another great book.

Writer covers all there is concerning XP. I am having fun learning XP and I am wondering why the devil it never came to my depraved mind before, that there had to be someone out there who could unravel the mysteries locked away in XP. Actually, a lot of this stuff I kind of knew but until I got into "Windows XP for Dummies;9 Books in 1", I did not know how to unlock? This is the logical book to answer all your questions and unlock the logic of XP. I bought this book from Amazon.com, and as always, I always hit the jackpot with them when I need just about any kind of information.
