Laptops have often been seen as the domain mainly of students and businessmen. However, they are also an excellent option for senior users: their mobility means that they can be used in any location and with the advent of wireless technology they can be used in a variety of public places to surf the web or keep in touch with family and friends. Laptops for Seniors in easy steps, 7th edition covers all laptops that use Windows 10.

Issues such as using your laptop on vacation and sharing it with other family members are then looked at, to show how laptops are versatile and family-friendly. The book shows you how to:
• Choose the right laptop for you
• Master the key features of Windows 10 on your Windows laptop

• Use the Quick Access section – an area you can personalize with your favorite apps, programs, contacts and websites so you can quickly get to the functions and files you use most often
• Search the web with the Microsoft Edge browser
• Learn about apps, find and download them, then resize and move them and maximize, minimize or close from their titlebars

Really helps. Simple language.
Bought for a friend, senior citizen with first lap top. Really helpful. Language appropriate for non- technical people, first timers and old timers âºï¸

Great Information
This book enlightened me a lot in being able to select a laptop. The diagrams were easy to understand and the overall graphics and presentation of the book were excellent.

Bought this for my 87 year old mother
I siblings had decided to get my mom on the world wide web, so she could see pictures of her great-grandchildren & grandchildren that live out of state. She would call her children stating she was stuck, the computer won’t respond, she didn’t understand updates, email replies, downloads, etc. The closest child lives 5 hours away and it made it difficult for her to explain and us trying to help her.I purchased this book in the hopes it would easily explain the difficulties she was having. Each time I speak with her I get such a positive response that “that book you sent me is so helpful. It explains so much and more”. Finally a gift she liked and will use.

I like this book and I keep referring to it, itâs written in the language of older people (grey surfers)

This was disappointing. For someone new to computers it could be the cat’s whiskers. For me, who is by no means an expert, it was a waste of money despite its clarity and plain English. I recently switched from my table-top PC to a laptop. In the few days that I was not able to go online another swathe of updates must have occurred because the first time I used the laptop for e-mail I could not find a “Sent Mail” folder button. Neither could I retrieve deleted mail. There was a “Detected Items” folder, whatever that is. As usual with computer primers publication lags behind changes. Even faithful old dusty bin has vanished. Bring back Windows 7!

Not as in depth as I would like on certain subjects, while can assume more knowledge on others
