Windows 8 is probably the least user-friendly version of the operating system ever released. It's almost like two different operating systems merged together. From the much changed start menu (which was completely missing in the first release of Windows 8, but came in when 8.1 was released), to features that only really make sense on a tablet or phone, Windows 8 has a lot of veteran Windows users scratching their heads. If you are one of them, then this book is for you. After a quick tour of the new user interface, the book digs deeper into the features of Windows 8, showing you what everything does, and more importantly, how to do the things you used to do on older versions of Windows.

If you are migrating to Windows 8 from XP, Vista or Windows 7, then this book may just let you keep your hair as you learn how to get the most out of your computer. Who knows, you may even get to like Windows 8.
