The Complete Idiot's Guide to PCs gives you the hands-on training you need to become productive with your new PCs. This book leads you from the very first stage (purchasing, setting up, and turning on a PC), through day-to-day operations (using Windows and applications; creating, formatting, and printing documents; browsing the Web; and sending and receiving email), and finishes up with tips for optimizing, configuring, and troubleshooting a PC. A simple scan of the outline reveals that The Complete Idiot's Guide to PCs is no standard PC reference book. From the very first pages and throughout the book, you perform the tasks required to learn and master your PC, and become more productive with software applications.
