4.0 out of 5 stars Basics, step by step, November 1, 2009

By	D. P. Willey "MCSE/CCNE/CompTIA IT Security+" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Starter Guide, November 8, 2009

By	Sigurdur Haraldsson "The Guru" (Reykjavik, Iceland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

This is the best book I have ever read on how to get the most out of Windows. I have read books on how to use Windows 3.1, 95,98,XP and Vista and none even come close to the clarity and thoroughness of Windows 7 Step by Step. This book is a must read for every user of Windows 7.
