Technical information

Introduction
T
his Pocket Edition isn’t intended to make you a
whiz at Windows; instead, it dishes out chunks of
useful computing information when you need them.
You don’t have to become a Windows 8 expert, you
just need to know enough to get by quickly, cleanly,
and with a minimum of pain so that you can move on
to the more pleasant things in life.
Best of all, you can get what you need out of this book
whether you’re working on a touchscreen, laptop, or
desktop computer.
About This Book
Treat this book like you would a dictionary or other
reference text. Turn to the page with the information
you need and say, “Ah, so that’s what they’re talking
about.” Then put down the book and move on.
Instead of fancy computer jargon, this book covers
the topics you’re looking for in plain English. You
don’t have to memorize anything. Just turn to the
appropriate page, read the brief explanation, and get
back to work. Unlike other books, this one enables
you to bypass the technical hoopla and still get your
work done.
