The PERFECT book for seniors who are new Windows 10 and/or computers in general. No prior experience necessary!

  • Written specifically for seniors – this is not a beginner level book that is shoehorned into the “Seniors” mold
  • Full-color, custom interior that is designed specifically for seniors, using larger text and images
  • Part of the wildly popular  My… series, which has already shown some traction with the seniors audience
The second edition of this book was written on the Windows 10 release 1709 in Fall 2017. Since then we’ve had four additional releases — 1803 (Spring 2018), 1809 (Fall 2018), 1903 (Spring 2019), and 1909 (Fall 2019) — with an additional release (2004) scheduled for Spring 2020. There’s a bit of catching up to do.
What’s new in this edition?
This new third edition will cover all the changes made in the past five Windows updates as well as changes in the computer hardware market. It will also cover changes to popular social networks and computer software and websites. 
New or updated coverage on a chapter-by-chapter basis is extensive, and all screen images will be reshot with the current version of the Windows 10 interface.
