Easy to follow. Great book for beginners. Some good tips for current users of Windows 10 too!

For me, all computer books are bad. None of them have been able to make me the computer expert I desire to be. In all fairness, I have come to accept that it's not the book's fault. That being said, Mike Miller's book for seniors does a good job of covering the basics without saying too much in computer language or overly technical. I'm still not at the expert level I have been aiming for, but I did learn a few things from his book.
