Book 2: Must read notes before you begin!
1) I will not be dealing with defunct operating systems such as XP and Vista. Do yourself a favor and get a new computer.
2) As Windows 7 is still the most used Operating System, the majority of my pictorial references will be using it except the Windows 10 upgrade section. I will note if otherwise.
3) I use Internet Explorer for a browser. All pictorial references of web pages will be using it. I will note if otherwise.
4) The procedures here all assume your computer boots up and runs, all but unsatisfactorily. If it doesn’t, you need a service tech. This book can’t you! Book 3: The Advanced User will cover trouble shooting procedures for non bootable machines. I will, however, explain a “Power Reset” procedure which often helps to get a machine to boot.
5) Sometimes it may be necessary to boot into “Safe Mode” to get things started. I will cover that for all three operating systems in the beginning of Section 1. It is not difficult to do.
6) I also assume that you, as an intermediate user, understand the most common computer user procedures and jargon. If you do not, buy my Book 1, it will help!
