Windows® 7 Inside Out

Customer Reviews

• Will make you comfortable installing and using Windows 7  Oct 28, 2009 (18 of 19 found this helpful)

  This book arrived in early October prior to my preordered copies on Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. By reading portions of this book, I was able to do a clean install of Windows 7 on a desktop and laptop computer. I had to find one driver for the sound on the laptop and knew how to find it by checking in this book. The sections on Home Networking make connecting to your network very easy. I then setup my Homegroup by following the clearly defined information provided by the authors. Everything that you need to know about the basics is presented clearly in this book. One can easily add E Mail and secuity features by checking those sections of the book. There is also advanced information that I do not need but there for those with the interest and skill to use. I highly recommend this book.

• This is THE Win 7 Bible!  Oct 31, 2009 (18 of 19 found this helpful)

  I'ver read too many poorly written books by technical specialists who just don't write very well. This book is not one of those. It is well-written, all-encompassing, and provides thorough, understandable, technical help for the novice and the geek alike. The reader can either use this book as a reference or he/she can read it from cover to cover. I did the latter--twice! I just couldn't absorb all the cool and fantastic features in one reading. This is the first time since 1988 that I feel I really have a handle on my OS. If you are running Windows 7 (any version), you cannot do without this manual. It may appear absurd to say that Windows 7 Inside Out can be life-altering, but it can be just that! Geeks and neophytes ought to celebrate.

• More for the individual user  Oct 22, 2009 (11 of 17 found this helpful)

  This book seems to be more for the individual user, like myself, instead of the Windows Resource Kit. The big plus is that the whole book plus other content are on a CD glued inside the back. Like the WRK, I'll give this paper book to the local high school and just use the electronic edition.

• I'll tell you laterI  Nov 11, 2009 (1 of 2 found this helpful)

  I just scratched the surface, but like what I see. It is much too early to really judge the book. I already know that it tells me more of what I want to know than the other book I bought.
  

• Really informative  Oct 29, 2009 (1 of 4 found this helpful)

  Really informative book with all the specifics down to the core making Windows 7 simplified as it possibility can be; plus many bonuses,tips, tricks and much more.
