People are always asking me "Is there an instructions manual for Windows 7" hopefully this post will clear that question up and help people looking for some more information about the newest operating system offering from Microsoft.
The short answer is that there is a short 24 page booklet that comes with your computer when you purchase it at AGS. It outlines some of the basics and lets you know where you can get some more information.
If you are thirsty for some more information on Windows 7, Microsoft has a website dedicated to helping you figure out Windows 7. If you are already using windows 7 you can get there straight from your start menu.
- Click on your start menu (or press the Windows logo key on your keyboard)
- Click on "Getting Started" (it should be at the top of the start menu)
- Click on "Go online to learn more" or one of the topics listed at the bottom of the window
- Choose one of the categories from across the top of the page. (Windows 7 Help is a good starting point)
If you are unable to get the information that you crave from Microsoft's official site there are a couple of other good resources out there.
Paul Thurrott maintains a fantastic website that contains information not only about windows 7 but just about all things Microsoft. The tip of the week always contains a useful tip about some of the cool features of Windows 7 that may be a bit mysterious to some. The Windows 7 area of the site contains an archived list of tips, feature focuses and other articles.
If you prefer your reading material in a physical book format he also has a book, which I have never read but judging by Paul's website, it should be a worthwhile read.
If you are still in need of more information google is always a good option for looking up information. A query like "Windows 7 file sharing help" is a good format to follow and should yield some fairly helpful advice. As always be careful what sites you visit and keep your antivirus software up to date, and remember that we are always just a phone call away if you find yourself in some trouble.
