I recently updated to Windows 10 on my PC. I have to say that while it looked amazing with all of its fancy bells and whistles, I was quite clueless on how to navigate my way around. Don't get me wrong, the Windows folks do offer assistance if you have questions, but I'm the type of person that wants to see things in black and white. I like to go at my own pace, and I want to be able to refer to a guide for anything else that I want to know in the future. An online search brought me to The Windows 10 Companion, The Complete Guide for Doing Anything with Windows 10. The author, Joe Thompson hit the target in making a book that is everything that I needed it to be. From the inception of Windows 10, to the ease of usability, Cortana, the set up, a thorough breakdown of how everything works, instructions on how to make the program more personalized, it even includes info on having a better experience with gaming and Netflix. I highly recommend this read for anyone in need of a solid source on Windows 10 that doesn't disappoint.
This all-in-one resource for Windows 10 is great! I think it’s the first fully comprehensive guide I’ve found so far on the new software. It’s been VERY helpful for me to learn the ropes (I’m not a huge computer person), and I really feel like I’m understanding what otherwise would be foreign to me.I found the book to be super organized down to the last detail. At first it was a bit overwhelming, but the more I read, the more I understood not only the book, but Win10 itself – that’s no small feat for me!The biggest learning curve for me is that I’m a tactile learner and the screenshots included were probably the most helpful feature. Rare in eBooks. I think Thompson’s Window’s 10 Companion is the best guide I’ve seen in a long time for software. I recommend it to anyone who just got the new update and might need some pointers or a full-on understanding of Win10. It makes things so much easier than Googling everything!
I've struggled with the past updates to my windows computer. I decided to get this guide for windows 10 so I could quickly find an answer to any problem or issue I would have (not IF I have an issue but WHEN). This guide helped me more than I thought it would when it came to solving problems. I also learned a lot of cool tricks and techniques when it came to using windows 10. The screen shots made understanding the material extremely easy. Overall this is probably one of the best Windows 10 guides out there.
Have you been burning with the opinion that Microsoft Windows 10 is not user friendly? Then this book is what you need. Trust me!Actually I was not using Windows 10 before I came across this book. I was not even using Window 8 or 8.1. I found windows 8 uninteresting and not user friendly so I wiped it off and went back to my darling windows 7. When Window 10 came on board I didn’t even bother to give it a try. But after I stumbled on this book, I had the confidence to install Window 10, due to the simplified guide in this book.This book gave me detailed information about this incredible innovation called Win10, right from its background. The amazing thing is that the author seems to know so much about Microsoft systems in general and has ample knowledge on this Win 10 in particular. The book was such a guide that made the use of Windows10, not only easy but interesting, because my eyes were opened to its endless advantage.I heartily recommend this book. IT HELPED ME.
Since upgrading to Windows 10 a few months ago the software has been a great source of frustration. It’s so different from the previous versions and my family and I have found the switch far from intuitive. While the Microsoft website does offer answers to most questions it involves a lot of searching and also requires you to be online. I took it upon myself to become better educated on the topic to alleviate some of the frustration for me and my family. This book had lots of great reviews and I can see why. It has been a huge help in our struggle to get to grips with Windows 10, especially with the new features in Office which is what I use most. The author offers explanations as to the “why” for the changes; understanding the reasoning behind it helps with the frustration immensely. The book has also alerted me to many new features that I would not have otherwise discovered.
With every new release of windows there are new features to learn and get use to as well as old features that are burred in a labyrinth. The full color pictures within the book made visualizing what I was looking for while reading the book and trying things on my computer at the same time. I liked reading the information about windows 7 vs windows 10 and the section on bugs came in handy. I had previously experienced some of the bugs listed and would have saved time and stressing over them if I had known about this book sooner. If there was a class to take on windows 10 this very well might be the class text book required to take the class. I liked how the chapters were laid out and easy to navigate. I also appreciated the author (Joe Thompson) and how he wrote this easy to understand and helpful book on learning windows 10. If you are a previous mac user switching over, or used windows your whole life there are still tips and tricks to learn in this book about windows 10.
