Customer Reviews Laptops for Dummies review
Found this book to answer a lot of questions I had about my laptop---more than I could find anywhere else. Thanks!
Out-of-Date
After I purchased "Windows 7 for Dummies," I purchased this book to help me with other situations. It is obsolete and I would not recommend buying this book.
VISTA VS XP
More for Vista users, I'm XP. Gave to my 11 yr old grandaughter as she was gifted with a Vista product. She is a happier camper!
