Windows 11 All-in-One For Dummies

Introduction

Welcome to Windows 11 All-in-One For Dummies, one of the most complete books you can find about the latest version of Windows. It’s large and heavy because it has a lot to teach you.

This book is a great guide if you’re upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 or an older version such as Windows 7. And it’s especially great if you’re new to Windows. You’ll learn everything you need to know about this operating system — and a bit more than most people. You won’t become a tech support expert by the end of it, but you’ll surely know enough to help others as well, especially when they’re puzzled about the things Windows 11 can and can’t do.

About This Book

Windows 11 All-in-One For Dummies takes you through the Land of the Dummies — with introductory material and stuff your grandmother can (and should!) understand — and then continues the journey into more advanced areas, where you can truly put Windows to work every day.

I start with the basics about navigating Windows 11: turning it on and off, signing in, notifications, user accounts, and permissions. Then I dig into the desktop and the Start menu and take you through all the important pieces, one by one, in detail.

I don’t dwell much on technical mumbo jumbo, and I keep the jargon to a minimum. At the same time, I tackle the problems you’re likely to encounter, show you the major road signs, and give help where you need it the most.
