Review: Far more than basic Win 7 - This course book digs a lot deeper than the more highly illustrated books available which don't seem to cover much more than installation, mouse movements, and rudimentary file management. It covers these plus what most learners still need to know for a much more enjoyable and productive use of the new Windows Operating System interface. After looking at the newest iteration of these, Windows 8, I decided that it was not worth upgrading my three Win7 PCs as none were tablets and I saw no comfort value in a touch based interface. Until I actually see the perennially boasted faster startup speeds lasting longer than six months of program additions and internet use I will dismiss that as hype after all the prior disappointments. Deciding that, it would then behoove me to better learn the system I had, the search began for a book like this. I had learned a prior version through this Microsoft Press "Step by Step" system and was quite happy with the results. This book comes with a CD that has the files needed to work within the course lessons and that makes it much easier to get the hands on feeling the reader needs for a sense of accomplishment to continue each lesson. This is still written so the neophyte as well as more experienced Windows users can easily grasp and achieve a deeper understanding of the subject. It covers installation of the system as well as managing it's components like user accounts, your home network, files and folders as well as Internet Explorer 8, personalization and themes, and some hardware installation as far as getting Windows to recognize it and work with the new component. Step by Step is a big book but has a lot of content. The pictures you might miss from other publications are largely taken care of in the accompanying CD so you have a lot more to learn from. As for Cons, I wish Microsoft or someone would go back to the older loose leaf lay flat course books that were so much easier to handle. This fat edition can be a real handful when trying to keep a page open and using the PC at the same time. Review: Good Itemized Reference from XP to Windows 7 - The book is well laid out by authors Preppernau and Cox (name change?). What I like about it is besides detailed table of contents and index, it has black text, light blue titles and section titles, gray screen shots and menu pictures, tips in blue, chapter at a glance at the front of the chapter, and key bullet points at the end of the chapter. YOUR EYES MOVE QUICKLY AROUND THE PAGE, 20 percent or more white space in a 492 page book. The side edge of the book has tab markings for chapters, Obviously one does not want to read the WHOLE book. There is a CD-R of practice files which I loaded but have not messed with. I sent the book to my 86 year old mother and we have worked out a few things out over long distance by going to the same page. My biggest point, if your tired or a little ADD, you get what you need to know and move on. If your a hip shooter, then Google for the answer; but, what if your internet is down?? If you want a comprehensive desk reference, this is a good one. Hope that helped. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,445,683 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Windows 7 Guides #2,002 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 246 Reviews | ## Images ![Windows 7 Step by Step - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ESgcL+kvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far more than basic Win 7 *by M***M on September 15, 2012* This course book digs a lot deeper than the more highly illustrated books available which don't seem to cover much more than installation, mouse movements, and rudimentary file management.

I purchased Step by Step because I thought it was the best offered for me. I need to have a book on my desk while I work on my computer and this book guides me very well. If you're new to computers, this book is too advanced but, if you're familiar with the Windows OS, this book will answer questions. I am very pleased because I think it's very thorough and covers everything easily. I went from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and this book helped take away my confusion. I'm 75 years old and need "simple with pictures." I've read the whole book twice and now go to the index for specific subjects. This book will be my "helper" for years to come. My husband, a computer novice, found this book too technical and advanced for him. As usual, I found what I wanted on Amazon and at a great price with excellent delivery time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2006231-windows-7-step-by-step](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2006231-windows-7-step-by-step) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
