Windows 8.1 for Seniors in easy steps Illustrated Edition

Very good book, although I have to force myself to read this kind of manual. Easy to read and has pictures of the screens with arrows pointing to the points being explained.

Just as the brits have the best mysteries and comedies on tv it seems the same is true for instructional material. Would recommend for sure.

I HJAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO MSTART WORKING MON THIS BOOK, MY DAUGHTER RECOMMENDED IT TO MW AND THAT IIS A GOOD RECOMMENDATION TO ME.

I wish Windows 8.1 were as easy to understand as this book.

Easy to understand. Very helpful

very informative

Purchased for a senior citizen that loved the color graphics and simply instructions.

A little to advanced for Seniors

I was upgrading my Windows 8 computer to Windows 8.1 but before attempting this decided to read about this before updating. As a pensioner and fairly conversant with a PC I read the reviews on this book and seemed a good buy so ordered this. This arrived on time and I read enough to take the plunge and update. This took several hours to do and without the book would have been difficult. The procedure was well explained and easy to follow and the Quick Tips on the side of each page gave useful hints that you would not know without reading the book. Has proved very useful on several occasions so far when using Windows 8.1. Would recommend this book It was so well written and easy to follow that without I feel I would have had a problem as the tips help you navigate around the system as some things are totally different to Windows 8. Well worth buying.

I bought this for my Dad who has just got his first laptop at age 75. It's not a book for beginners and even I struggled to understand it and I've been working with computers for 20 years. I use a Mac, which is so easy, and I was amazed at the technical language used in this book. How on earth are Seniors supposed to understand it? What does Interface mean to seniors or beginners? My Dad looked at the contents and put it down again and has never picked it up since. It was a complete waste of money and really, I should have returned it to Amazon.

The book title says it all. It's not just for Seniors, but for anyone who is not totally confident with a PC. The text and illustrations are clear and concise and I have no doubt that the mysteries of Windows 8.1 on my new touchscreen will become second nature very quickly (after using XP for basic computing for a number of years). Highly recommended and as always very quickly delivered by Amazon at a bargain price.

I'm not a senior, but this has been a great point of reference book.Information is explained in a user friendly way. Lovely colour screenshots which tie into the cases being taught.Would recommend this book for any one starting out with Windows 8.1

My husband was very pleased with this book. However, the main item he wanted within it was to do with photographs, which he can't find a great deal on. But the company it was purchased from was very prompt in sending it. I'd recommend and use them again.
