Book Prelude
As per statistics from Microsoft Corporation till October 2023, Windows 11.0, at 24.42% worldwide, is the Second most popular Windows version in use, which is to be precise the market capture of this product. Being a techie I always find shortfalls in the way we leverage the full potential of the product.
My Nuances
As the author pointed this book is not intended for techies and those who already spent their hands on the Windows Operating system. This is an immaculate visual spoon-fed documentation for amateur and tech-thirsty elders.
My Accentuation
As a known fact, Microsoft owns its top-notch engineers and dedicated R&D both in-house and overseas who provide major updates in both features and security in the operating system areas. However, I am pensive if someone helps me to provide a handbook to consume the offerings of Win 11.0 and make my work not only easy but also exceptional
Seems like Anand heard my ask and drafted this book for the benefit of bourgeois like me and tech enthusiasts. As the author mentioned in his book many of us burn our pockets by spending hefty amounts on online/offline institutes to learn this concept. He presented precisely in and out on Win 11.0 and leveraged its full amplitude.
My Thoughts
He starts with the history and evolution of the tech giant Microsoft and gives a deep dive into its amelioration ever since its inception ( Win1.0 till Win 11.0). He spoke in detail about the installation, troubleshooting common errors, and personalizations. Every minuscule aspect is addressed with the pictorial screenshots to make life easy especially for the golden-agers and embryonic learners.
I can challenge you if you thoroughly follow this book, you will never need any help documents, video tutorials, or a support consultant to set up your machine or operating system. This serves very much as a self-explanatory guide articulating the Win11 benefactions to its users.
Author Accolades
In-detail pictorial representation, tabular trivia of windows and its features, user-friendly vocabulary, and conceptual segregations are what makes this book so unique and engrossing. If you are an enthusiast of setting up your machine with Windows operating system specifically Win11.0 this is a perfect pick.
Conclusion
To be honest, concepts dealt with in this book like Bing Chat/Image Creator, Windows Insider Program, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Canary Channel, etc are something that I never explored as I wasn’t either aware or someone threw some light on those. Thanks to Anand for refreshing my knowledge and usability on Win 11.0.
