2. Brilliant Windows 7

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, April 12rd, 2010

   We are well over 50, so we wanted a book that helped, not one that sent us reaching for for the valium! Finding this book a godsend as we work our way through Windows 7. Easy to understand and clearly illustrated it has helped iron out a few frustrations although we are very pleased with Windows 7 - it appears to be everything they boasted it would be! As we don't have youngsters in our family to explain things, we rely on a good manual such as this. Ten out of ten from us.

3. Easy Access book

   Written in non technical language and easy to follow. This is a book for everyone with Windows 7

4. Excellent advice

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, March 12th, 2010

   I found this book to be well written, easy to follow, and a great way to learn how to use Windows 7. Good use of pictures and screenshots guide the user through simple and more complex tasks. I've no hesitation in recommending this to new Windows 7 users.

5. Brilliant name and nature

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2010

   I have migrated from W95 through ME, XP, and to Windows 7. This is the biggest step change. In many ways W7 is designed to be intuitive but I wanted to exploit the advantages and avoid the pitfalls. This is useful and fairly detailed from installation (towards the end of the book!), through 'Compatability' and 'XP Mode' (to get older programmes to work as frustratingly even some that worked in Vista don't in W7). I now have a customised desktop with a clock showing NZ time where my son is staying, my own choice of desktop background and downloaded some Windows Live components that were in with Vista but not with W7. Clear layout with a discussion on each topic and clear instructions and shortcuts in the 'how to' sections. No one volume could suffice for every glitch but this does more than scratch the surface in helping to install and manage W7.
