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

⭐I had to give this book a 5 star review. Granted, most of what is in it I already knew. Still, the book is well written and there were things in it I did not know. The books biggest plus is that many of todays computers have really lousy owners manuals, I mean really lousy. The ‘better’ manual you have to go one line to see; I find this irritating. That is where this book comes in. It applies or tries to apply to all PC’s. So if you are new to PC’s this book will be a godsend and if you are not so new to them you will still find the book of use at times. The books biggest problem is that the author is not quite as funny as he would seem to think and is at times ‘corny’. No matter.

⭐Purchased a new computer and Windows XP is no longer an option. Having heard many stories about VISTA, I chose WINDOWS 7. When the computer arrived, the format is very different from what I was use to on XP and being Tech Challenged I ordered this book. It is GREAT!!!!! Gives you step by step help in a language easy to understand. I highly suggest to anyone who is not a Tech sWizard to get this if switching from an old Windows system to WINDOWS 7.

⭐I have always been a big fan of the ‘Dummies’ books, and I can add this one to the ‘happy with it’ list. I can get around with the VERY basic computer requirements, but there is so much more I need to know. This book is written in a very convenient format, which I really appreciate. I’m reading it on my Kindle Fire, and having no difficulty with the illustrations, which isn’t always the case. I know I’ll never be a whiz at this, but I am getting better! Not bad for 70!

⭐I found this very helpful with clear instructions on how to do a variety of tasks. I love how straight forward it is and how easy it is to find what you’re looking for. It’s such a relief to have something comprehensive and in plain language. It sure beats spending a lot of time searching for stuff on the web. I can’t emphasize enough how straight forward it is. It really cuts to the chase.

⭐When I considered the small amount that I paid for this used issue, I frankly did not expect too much. To my delight my expectation was incorrect the booklet did not have that “used” look. I did wash it for sanitation purposes, but the book is legible, and is aptly serving its purpose.Joe Vella

⭐Very pleased with the book… I have been using the computer for some time, but this is specific to Windows 7 and I find it very helpful, with some tips to remember and simple explanations of some of the technical stuff.Also learning some of the terms and the different names for the items on the monitor screen has been quite helpful.

⭐This is a helpful book for anyone purchasing a computer with Windows 7 on it. I have other books by the same writer and he assumes that you have read them. That is mot good for people who do not have his Windows XP book.

⭐We dummies love to find out the facts. Makes surfing the ‘net berry easy.

⭐Not really what I was expecting but that was probably my fault as it is for dummies I found it difficult to get into. Quick delivery

⭐Arrived quickly and book as expected. Easy to understand and I am sure it will come in very handy

⭐Good book for those who are uncertain of the finer points of computing, doesn’t have all the answers to every query you might have but extremely useful.

⭐easy read, detailed information and instructions. Good to learn basics and understand how works your laptop or pc. Would recommend it to beginners

⭐Was not as helpful as I had hoped it would be – disappointed in this book, wouldn’t recommend at all – sorry
