Move your files to a new computer, or get your old PC ready for Vista

The thing that's made Windows For Dummies so successful is that it's packed with the basics you need to make Windows work.

• Fix problems yourself

Rating: - I'm not proud. I needed help. I found it here.
Last summer, I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista. Although I was able to fumble out transfering files back and forth with my desktop that was still on XP, I became highly frustrated by the new interface in the MSWord program. Very simple things had been made hard to find, I felt.

My pleasure in my new machine was gravely hampered until I bought this book at my local brick and mortar bookstore, paying more for it than I had to--but it turned out to be worth the money.

Rating: - Windows Vista for Dummies
Windows Vista for Dummies is just what I needed to allow me to, "step by step" transfer from my old program to my new computer... I am not dumb but I do enjoy following instructions, step-by-step, written with a little humor...
Thanks,
Virginia J. Dolder
