Technical information

Windows 8 For Dummies, Dell Pocket Edition

Don’t forget to remember these important

points. (Or at least dog-ear the pages so that

you can look them up later.)

The computer won’t explode while you’re per-

forming the delicate operations associated with

this icon. Still, wearing gloves and proceeding

with caution is a good idea.

Are you moving to Windows 8 from an older

Windows version? This icon alerts you to areas

where Windows 8 works significantly differently

from its predecessors.

Controlled by your fingertip rather than a

mouse and keyboard, a touchscreen is standard

fare on tablets, as well as some newer laptops

and desktop monitors. This icon appears next to

information aimed directly at the touchy feely

crowd.

Where to Go from Here

Now, you’re ready for action. Give the pages a quick

flip and scan a section or two that you know you’ll

need later. Please remember, this is your book — your

weapon against the computer nerds who’ve inflicted

this whole complicated computer concept on you.

Please circle any paragraphs you find useful, highlight

key concepts, add your own sticky notes, and doodle

in the margins next to the complicated stuff.
