    Yes because as a software developer with a couple of decades of experience what I want more than anything is my linked in profile or work email associated with a basic for dummies book on the latest OS. Thanks but no thanks. Not negging deal though.

      Or you could just download with a dummy email?

        Sssh he has a couple decades of experience.

        To be fair it's pretty stupid requesting 'work email'.

          That wasn't a boast. I've been in one industry for a long time. Yes that means I have experience. It also means if I get associated with dummies guides I lose respect. Just the way of the world.

          LOL, your comments are gold! How are you linked to a dummies guide by downloading it? And what difference does it make? You have bigger problems to worry about if you care about the respect of someone who thinks that because you downloaded a dummies guide (not that they can find out anyway) that you are somehow a lesser person.

        • syousef on 05/04/2016 - 16:41

          @Maverick-au:

          Rightly or wrongly a Dummies Guide sitting on your desk (or desktop) means you get perceived as a beginner. This isn't news to anyone in the IT industry.

          Getting junk mail at work, especially about more Dummies Guides could be seen as embarrassing.

          It doesn't require much imagination or expertise to follow what I'm saying. I wonder if you could use a Dummies Guide to Passive Aggression. LOL your heart out.

          I look forward to the responses when I can be bothered catching up.

          @syousef: "Rightly or wrongly a Dummies Guide."

          I'd say wrongly, as it is a useful guide to what the people asking your advice have probably done to get to the point where they need it…

      If you're a software developer you should read Windows for IT professionals. It is a microsoft publication that teaches you how to harness windows 10.

    Does anyone in 2016 really need a book explain how to perform basic computing tasks? This should be in the same league of "Cooking toast for dummies".

        How many pages does it take to explain that everything is locked down and monitored?

        • magic8ballgag on 05/04/2016 - 07:51

          We're still using Windows 7 at work. I have other reasons to be bitter about and dislike W8 and W10.

          You sound to me like one of those people who'll jump on any new bandwagon without any clear benefit to yourself.

          More with the personal attacks.

          It was a flip remark. Ever heard of them? But oh no now I can't possibly be an IT professional. You know what you can do with your opinion of me right?

          And yes a lot of IT shops are locking everything down but the kitchen sink because threats are increasing exponentially. One unchecked crypto virus could reak havoc even if you're eventually able to restore.

          And yes Windows 10 has a lot of disadvantages. With crap like advertising on the login screen, I'll be happy to avoid it for as long as I can.

          Oh and knock yourself out using up those negs…

        No. but I certainly didn't need thick book to learn.

        Just as anyone under 60, shouldn't need to read a book to learn how to use Windows 10.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/04/2016 - 08:19

          Even with most over 60s who are switching from XP the lesson goes something like: if you click the Start button then type a keyword (you don't have to click on a box somewhere, just start typing) it'll find things with that keyword. Also instead of Shutdown in the Start menu look for Power.

          Not always - and if you install a program, remember it's name so you can try that, is it will sometimes not list it in start, and will hide ones you rarely use after some time, plus re-set your defaults to use Microsoft apps every `major' update…

        I've downloaded it and had a quick skim through the contents. One chapter is named "Using Internet Explorer", this pretty much sums up how useful/good it is.

        Here's just a few chapter names in the ebook, even then google would probably get you a better informed answer.

      I totally agree. I may have 20+ years doing IT Support but end users don't. There are often things in these guides that explain things better than I can and in turn great for occasional snippets and the likes. I'll take a peak and if useless can delete it. Its free and nothing to be embarrassed about as some people in above posts feel. There is plenty I don't know about Windows 10 and proud of it :-)
