Computers don’t have to be scary or difficult. Computers can be easy—if you know what to do. That’s where this book comes in. Easy Computer Basics, Windows 7 Edition is an illustrated, step-by-step guide to setting up and using your new computer.
You’ll learn how computers work, how to connect all the pieces and parts, and how to start using them.
All you have to do is look at the pictures and follow the instructions. Pretty easy. After you learn the basics, I’ll show you how to do lots of useful stuff with your new PC. You’ll learn how to use Microsoft Windows to copy and delete files; use Microsoft Word to write letters and memos; use Gmail to send and receive email messages; and use Internet Explorer to search for information on the Internet. We’ll even cover some fun stuff, including listening to music, working with digital photographs, and using Facebook and Twitter.
If you’re worried about how to keep your PC up and running, we’ll cover some basic system maintenance, too. And, just to be safe, I’ll show you how to protect your computer when you’re online—against viruses, spam, spyware, and computer attacks. It’s not hard to do.
