Windows 10 All-In-One For Dummies 2nd Edition

I originally borrowed this book from the library because I am a hands on person and it is so much easier to have a book than looking up things on the rabbit-hole of the Windows 10 website (there's just so many bookmarks I can make people, ARGH!). I was so impressed with it I had to buy it! The author uses humor and illustrations to keep a dry subject fascinating. So well written, easy to follow it covers everything you need to know plus a lot of useful tips and general information. It's just an all around complete guide for Windows 10. It also includes a website by the author with the latest updates. I highly recommend it!

I am learning more about Windows 10, its pluses and minuses, with this book than I ever knew, or would discover on my own.Has lots of excellent advice on buying and setting up a computor system. Although it's meant to be used as a reference, I am starting from page one and reading it all.

The book, which I purchased after switching from a Windows 7 machine, follows the standard Dummies layout. I found the author's writing clear and informative, although I could have done with fewer anecdotes and a slightly more concise presentation. However, in this regard I will state that I also took a two day crash course in Windows 10 at a local college. It was no less rambling and full of anecdote (perhaps more so) than the book. The index in Windows 10 All-In-One For Dummies is very well done and greatly enhances the book's utility as a home reference. As a veteran (sometimes successful, more often not) of the Windows Errors Wars, I would have liked to see, within the constraints of the Dummies format, a broader treatment of glitches and error messages.

Too big and technical. It is confusing to have several books by different authors with the same title and be vastly different. I had another version that I lost and thought I was replacing it. Definitely not. This one is twice the size (almost a 1000 pages). Ii draws on the assumption that the reader is computer savvy (I'm not or I wouldn't be buying a book titled "windows 10 for dummies"). Each set of directions requires going to other areas of the book to know what I need to do. In other words, I can't get there from here. If I had the time and cared that much, I need to read and memorize the whole book.If the author had any interest in appealing to a general audience, he would hand this to someone with their first computer and see what happensProbably not much.

This book is a must have for understanding Windows 10. It is crammed full of information on how to use and maintain the new O/S. This book is very comprehensive, but is easy to understand and will be valuable to both beginners and those that have used other windows operating systems.

This has everything, at your fingertips. Best feature us to skip around to see the main features. Still, easier to use Google for troubleshooting.

The book was a tremendous help. I had upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and it was almost like "sticker shock". Someone told me it was a whole new learning curve and he was certainly right. I am just glad that I bought the book.

Many pages, many illustrations, but lacking in TOC and index. I also have comprehensive "Dummies" books for Windows 7 and Outlook, and the clarity of the language and the detailed treatment of most topics in the Windows 10 book is as good or better than the other "Dummies" books. So far I have not read all of the chapters in all of the 10 "books" in the Windows 10 books; however, on four or five topics I have had to think out of my box to find information. For both the table of contents and the index, I have to think of synonyms of other ways of describing the topics. Then I make notes in the TOC and the index for future use.
