This review is from: Windows 7 Step by Step (Paperback)
This book makes the task of learning Windows 7 relatively easy. All commands are shown in multicolour illustrations with instructions. Tasks such as parental controls, user accounts are shown as illustrations accompanied by text. I teach a basic computer course for the local Literacy Council, after seeing Windows 7 Step by Step 4 people bought the book. It starts from scratch and works thorough the entire Operating System

Basics, step by step,
By D. P. Willey "MCITP/CCNE/CompTIA IT Security+" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows 7 Step by Step (Paperback)
Windows 7 Step by step is what I bought for my sister. She's a novice PC user and wanted some help with using the newest Windows. Out of all the ones I read through at Borders this was the best for beginners and basics. If you are looking for a beginner book, probably a good choice but really will want to get a more advanced one to actually learn Windows 7. The more advanced one I like best is Windows 7: The Definitive Guide: The Essential Resource for Professionals and Power Users.

Great book, but maybe not for experienced Windows users,
By David Ramthun - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows 7 Step by Step (Paperback)
I don't know that I have ever really been a huge fan of any "step by step" books. This may be due to my technical experience and quickly getting bored with things I already know. In any case, I decided to look over this book as an option for my mother-in-law, who, shall we say, is slightly less than computer savvy. Ok, very far from computer savvy. She bought a new computer that had Win7 installed and to save my sanity from the phone calls I typically receive, I thought finding a book like this would be great.The book itself is very readable and covers everything that is new as well as those that are updated from earlier versions of the Windows operating system. This is good because my mother-in-law came from a Windows XP machine and this books makes the transition easy enough for her. The practice files provided give a good level of work for the new Windows 7 user to get a feel for each of the features available in the operating system. The first section for new computer users is also a great refresher for current computer users to allow them to understand the terminology that will be used throughout the book. Seriously, if my mother-in-law can go through this book and keep the phone calls to a very minimum, this book is hitting the target it was shooting for. 51 of 54 people found the following review helpful

A Comprehensive Starter Guide,
By Sigurdur Haraldsson "The Guru" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows 7 Step by Step (Paperback)
I really liked Windows 7: Step by Step. It covers all the basics without getting too technical and has lots of explanatory pictures, which is what beginners benefit from right away. It's easy to understand, the practises are good. I recommend this book for beginners, both of Windows 7 and computers in general.
