Windows 10 For Seniors For Dummies, 3rd Edition

The book lives up to its title right down to the smallest details such as extra large type so that us seniors with poor eyesight can read it. The examples, illustrations and instructions are well documented so that there's no guesswork in following them. Explanations are clear. So far I've used it to adjust ease-of-use settings such as making the pointer arrow bigger so that I don't keep losing it. In the past, I've wasted a lot of time and been very frustrated trying to find it. I've also made the text bigger in many cases, and in some places have changed the screen to white letters on a black background which is so much easier on my eyes. A book like this gives seniors just enough confidence that they feel safe to go in and make a few changes on their own. Give it a try.

Easy to follow step by step but wish there was a better explanation of working with photos - how to import, how to find them when you do, how to print them and how to do slide shows, how to put things on external hard drive - all easy on windows 7 but very difficult for me on 10 and not explained in the book.

The computer has not been unpacked yet, and will not be until spring cleaning is completed. First, I have to learn how to set up and use the new computer and then Windows 10. I have used Windows 7 for years and hate to give it up, but progress??? pushes on. I will continue using the Windows 7 computer until it is necessary to quit. It will take some time before headway will be made with summer coming on and country life is quite demanding. Thanks for having the book on the internet so I was able to get it to study it in my spare time. I am giving this book a 5-star rating because I have always found these books very helpful.

The format of the book is terribly confusing at least to me. I had been using windows 7 and saw no need to change to "10" until it was decided to end windows 7 earlier this year. To be totally honest I suppose if you are technicallyoriented and more computer literate this book may be of help. It didn't help me at all to conquer the mighty windows' 10 expanded range of utilities. I manage to muddle thru for the few things I use the computer for........but most of it I find unnecessary and appealing to a different user group.

Got them s as a gag gift for someone who's work computers were just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 10. The senior part of it was the gag let me to make the purchase worth it.Has reasonable information to use Windows 10 for someone who doesn't have a knack of picking up new software and learning to use it.Might buy one for my Mother who just bought a new laptop with Windows 10.

I run a small computer repair store and only leave reviews on the things I feel meet expectations. I am giving this item a 5 star because It works great with no problems. We probably spend over $50,000 a year on Amazon for our business, so finding the right parts in a timely matter at an affordable price so I can make some profit is key. We rely on Amazon to keep us in stock with parts.

The title fit me. However, the book assumed some prior experience with computers and terminology. The book would have been more beneficial if it had a glossary and the Figure images were not so dark that at times the images were hard to see. The book was helpful. If you have no prior experience at all I would highly recommend the book: "Is This Thing On?" A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes. and the Kicking & Screaming by Abby Stokes. I have the 2008 version (not the latest version available) and that is why I was looking for help with Windows 10 because I was forced to get a new computer with Windows 10. The Windows 10 is very different from Vista that I was use to and I needed help understanding the differences! I hope this review is helpful to someone.

this book is very hard to read the examples given because of lack of contrast between supposedly black and white. ( it is more like dark gray and gray ) windows 10 so far is slow and requires too many places to go to really find what you are looking for --- will know more in the following weeks.

Very educational and informative easy to follow

This is a wonderful book for Seniors who are trying to understand the world of the computers and its language. It simplifies so much and makes it so much easier to understand the text. Recommend this boo for Seniors to understand the complexities of the computer!Thank you for writing this book for Seniors, it truly a big help reading it.

Exactly what we needed to guide us through our new computer!

The book is just what I need for someone like me who has no computer skill or background. It's written in a language I understand. Easy to follow instructions making learning easy and quick....and fun!!!!!

I am having a new computer with Windows 10 installed tomorrow. This book has made the move less scary. I have been reading relevant chapters and it makes me feel more confident. I have got two books about Windows 10 and this one is more user friendly than the otherI would have liked a little more information about Skype and downloading books. I can see me looking up different things just the coming days. It was a good buy and I think it will be so helpful tome.
