"Email, Skype to see the grand kids, viewing pictures, game playing, surfing and maybe a little chatting or some social media like Facebook or Twitter and the basic set up of your desk top. I would certainly recommend this for the senior or anyone who hasn’t grown up with computers and needs help and a little catch up."
"This book has senior savvy features such as large print and many clear illustrations, and most seniors will find it a most helpful aid in setting the desktop up and making some choices about this versatile operating system."
"Meets my need for using Windows 10 with my computer."
"Since I am having trouble negotiating Windows 10 this book has been invaluable."
"For me, this book was more difficult than Windows 10 itself."
"However, I soon discovered that the Index doesn't match with the subject material and requires one to search "in the neighborhood" of the page cited in the index."
"Up front, author does not provide a summary of basics; he doesn't even indicate that programs are now apps. And,author does not make clear that some commands are for a surface pro while others are for a desk top."
Windows 10 (a free update to users of Windows 8 or Windows 7) fixes a number of the problems introduced by the revolution in Windows 8 and offers plenty of new features, such as the new Spartan web browser, Cortana voice-activated “personal assistant,” new universal apps (that run on tablet, phone, and computer), and more.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Since my first purchase of a "Missing Manual" title many years ago, O'Reilly has come through with quality books that will help baffled users with both the everyday and arcane tasks their tools perform. Although I have not embraced the Cortana AI voice interface that is a major feature of Windows 10, the book does an excellent job of helping those so inclined how to use it (her?)."
"I worked Tech Support for years, back in the day when Windows XP was the hot operating system for all schools. Windows Vista had been released towards the end of my tech support tenure, but it was such a resource intensive, buggy mess that the school decided to hold on to XP for a spell longer. The style of writing is conversational, friendly, and funny, making the whole task a lot less intimidating for someone who's unfamiliar with the territory."
"This book simplifies a very complex and broad subject, Windows 10."
"I have always enjoyed these "Missing Manual" books."
"I would recommend tis reference for any one at any level that's wants to get full usage out of Windows 10 and be able to customize it to their own liking."
"Unlike many of the more elementary manuals for Windows 10, this one not only provided essential guidance for getting started with it, but it filled with tips and examples on how best to customize it and to take advantage of its many new features."
"This really is the missing manual!"

In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference."
"Most importantly, I was looking for a book that could not only keep me engaged yet also provide the necessary educational materials. Presently I'm over a hundred or so pages in (the book is Bible thick) and have purposely slowed myself down at times to ensure lesson absorption but honestly could read this book like it was a spellbinding work of fanciful fiction. It really helps to have an actual, honest interest in the subject matter and there are times where you'll want access to several different operating systems."
"Just started, but it has been an easy to follow book so far."
"It's alright, the language the guy uses isn't 100% professional but VERY relatable with the youth."
"Will always keep current copies of Mike Meyers books in my library."
"Gives a CD in order for you to have a digital copy of the book as well as other helpful quizzes....I do not have a CD drive on my laptop, had to go out of my way to find someone with a CD drive just to place it on a thumb drive."
"this is an IT field essential."
"Came it great condition, book is a bible but it very entertaining and it's enjoyable."
