Become a tech-savvy computer user, the beginner-friendly way. Computers For Seniors For Dummies gives you the confidence you need to connect with friends and explore the internet all from the comfort of your couch. This step-by-step guide walks you through the basics of buying and setting up a computer, working with Windows or Mac, and getting online. With large print and clear figures, you'll learn essential tasks like emailing, browsing the internet, creating and viewing digital photos, and staying safe from hackers and viruses. In no time you'll be shopping online and video calling family from across the country. This book is specifically written for mature people like you — folks who are relatively new to using a computer and want to discover the basics of buying a computer, working with software, and getting on the Internet. In writing this book, I’ve tried to take into account the types of activities that may interest a 55-plus-year-old who’s discovering the full potential of computers for the first time. All computers are run by software called an operating system, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. Because Microsoft Windows–based personal computers (PCs) are the most common type of computer, I am assuming that you have a desktop or laptop PC running Windows. Windows 11 is the latest version, and that’s what I cover in this book. For many people, going online may be the major reason to buy a computer. For example, you can use the Internet to check stock quotes, play interactive games with others, shop, and file your taxes. For seniors especially, the Internet can provide a way to stay connected with family and friends located around the country or on the other side of the world via email, instant messaging, or video calling. You can share photos of your grandchildren or connect with others who share your hobbies or interests.
