I've been a long time supporter of Andy's publications. When my daughter got me the replacement laptop, it had Windows 8.1. The VERY FIRST thing I did was get on-line and order Andy's Book For Dummies 8.1. I got about a week into it and not being the senior computer guy that I am not, Windows 10 is also here so spend the energy and get Windows For Dummies 10 which I ordered and now also have. I haven't downloaded 10 yet but my external hard drive for backup will be in next week and I'll do the transfer. Wouldn't even think about doing this unless I had Andy's book by my side. Been with his publications for years throughout the transfers and the book is designed for the "non-techie" guy such as myself. I have to research one thing and that's to get the mirror image of the hard drive once I get things ready for transfer. You don't think this is important unless you've had a TOTAL HARDWARE SYSTEM CRASH like I've had once in the past and Andy states right up front to get backups, not only of your files ANYTHING on your hard drive.

I purchased this book because I found a computer with an older operating system on it. The book reminded me of some things that I had forgotten about 8.1. It is well written and organized. I won't be using it that much but it is a good refresher.

I bought this (with the intention in mind)to learn how to find things like the Windows Media Player program and use it. Despite simple instructions, Windows Media Player did not work at all, nor was I able to find it using the instructions in this book. I am disappointed that the book says to do something; yet once done, the results do not match what the book says. I am still trying to find and use Windows Media Player. This book did not help much at all with anything other than to convince me to get my Windows 7 laptop repaired...
