Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As usual, the “For Dummies” series has hit the nail on the head, giving us what we need without all the extra jargon.I bought this book for my ADHD challenged daughter, who wanted to learn how to fix her own computer. It is clear enough for her to quickly reference the info she needs without getting lost in the technical terms and giving up before she finds what she needs.I can see where this book can be a great guide for seniors without a lot of previous experience that are looking to save money by learning to repair their own computer.

⭐This book did not work for me. It is too outdated

⭐Not compatible for my computor (Windows 7). When I followed the book’s directions, the page it took me too was completely different than the one on my screen. But I’ll keep the book in case I try to find another solution for a problem.

⭐i didn’t know it was a windows 7 book, as i have twocomputers….an 8 and 10. Am really disgusted over this.It should have been said 7….this would then have been eliminated fromme purchasing it.

⭐I loved the book, it has been a great help. The explanation are clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend it for any one.

⭐Good book i would recommend it to any one that is wanting to enhance their Knowledge ! Thanks Joe :

⭐I’m NOT computer savvy at all. I know just enough to be dangerous. I have purchased other books, but they talked over my head, I was pleasantly surprised how simple & easy they kept this book. They really wrote it for people who just don’t understand computerese!!!

⭐got it

⭐Good stufff

⭐happy with product

⭐yes had a good look at this book am sure i will get by with it (hoping that i will not need it )fingers crossed.

⭐To me the Grapes Are Never Sour as much as we are at times when it also comes to the Computer books for the Dummies. Thus we also have to make every effort to harness all the knowledge compiled by the Authors in this wonderful edition for the Seniors. It is concise and comprehensive as well informative to also learn to recognize the symptoms and to diagnose within our capacities. Time and money saving investment to also enhance the lifespan of our PC and so which are the realities of our busy lives.
