A full-color, visual guide to the basics of Windows 8.1, written for seniors, by a senior in a jargon-free style, using specific examples in clear, step-by-step instructions Designed specifically for those 55 and older, Windows 8.1 for Seniors QuickSteps is a full-color, fast reference to the major upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft's popular computer operating system. The book provides step-by-step instructions on how to become comfortable with the new interface, which is the same across Windows-based PCs, touchscreen tablets, and mobile devices. This concise guide zeroes in on only the most important topics. Instructions are kept to brief descriptions in plain language while using full-color visuals to clearly lead you through the steps necessary to perform a task. In addition to being a technology expert and experienced computer book writer, the author himself is a senior who has spent many hours getting other seniors comfortable with computers. To create this book, he has pulled together a group of advisers consisting of senior citizens to serve as reviewers and testers. These fellow seniors are introduced in the course of the book, and their feedback is presented to help you get the most out of the book and the topics covered.
