Supporting all versions of Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, this book has been written such that anyone with only a very basic knowledge of computers should be able to follow it with ease. You don't need to be a techie to follow the instructions, but a basic understanding of every day computer usage (using a mouse and keyboard, opening and running a program, searching for and copying files etc.) is assumed.
