If you have Windows 8 and are used to say Windows 7, Windows Vista or XP, then you will find Windows 8 very different, even scary at first! For me a techie type, I found Windows 8 to be very different, but wanted to learn some tricks and best of all SHORTCUTS to getting over that initial shock of Windows 8. And even Windows 8.1 is shocking to one who is coming from say Windows 7 or earlier.This book has helped me MORE than any Windows 8 book because of the tips and tricks, I was able to get right into Windows 8 within one hour and feel much better about it.The TIPS that I suggest you read FIRST are these:+ Tip # 11 - Get Familiar With Windows 8 Shortcuts - Just by using the Windows Key with a certain keyboard key such as Windows Key + D (Desktop) and Windows Key + C (Charms), Windows I (this is for Settings).Tip # 12 How to Shutdown Windows 8 (Control + F4 or Windows Key + C (Charms, then choose Power button and Shutdown).BEFORE you even start this book, write this down for your help in Windows 8:+ Windows Key + D : The D stands for Desktop. It will look like the old Windows 7 desktop and you will feel so much more at home in Windows 8 then. While on the desktop, press the RIGHT MOUSE Key (not the left) to: Make a NEW Folder or Shortcut (to a Program, it will bring you to a Browse and you can find the program you want to start). I did this for ALL of my favorite programs, now they are on the Desktop and I don't have to mess with those pesky TILES!+ Windows Key + C : The C stands for the CHARMS, there you can turn off your computer, go to settings, search for things, TURN OFF your computer and more! You will love the CHARMS MENU!Highly recommend this book to anyone new to Windows 8!
