Book Reviews of Windows 7 SecretsBook Review: The Windows 7 User Manual! Summary: 5 Stars
Another PC tech recommended this book to me when I was expressing my concerns about moving my clients onto Windows 7. I have thanked him a hundred times over!
This book should be called the Windows 7 User Manual! Don't let the number of pages fool you because you don't read this book cover-to-cover, or, at least I didn't. Part One of the book, Surviving Setup, helps you determine what version (flavor) of Windows 7 to get by explaining the differences in each of the versions right down to 32 vs 64-bit versions! It also covers upgrading vs clean installation and OEM installs along with all the information you'll ever need on hardware and software compatibility and much more!
Part Two covers the user experience starting with a "what's new" in Windows 7 section that is very helpful because there is a bit of a difference between XP and Vista and 7.
From there, you go on to Networking and Security and that's probably the section I refer to the most - repeatedly!
But that's not all! There is so much information packed into this book that will appeal to the average home user (who may or may not be interested in ACL and User Account Access) to the PC Tech who's also interested in Digital Entertainment and DVDs!
I have yet to NOT find something I needed in this book!
Whether you're a home user who just wants help now and then to answer a question or solve a simple home networking problem, or you're a PC Tech who wouldn't mind having the answers right at hand - when you need it, this book has it! A full index in the back makes locating information on the fly easy, and if you have more time to read, the full table of contents gives you a teaser into the more fun areas of the book - like the entertainment options.
I honestly think this book should be sold with every new PC loaded with Windows 7. Oh wait! That's a bad idea. It would put me out of business!
