As before, we avoid jargon wherever we can (anything you do need to know is explained in the jargon busters at the end), and we’ve arranged things so that if you work through the book chapter by chapter, you can be sure of doing the right things in the right order. You don’t need to bring any special skills or experience with you, apart from being able to work comfortably with Windows®.
While we don’t promise to turn your PC into the fastest piece of silicon this side of Seattle, we can help you get it back to the reliable state it should have been in when you bought it, and with a little luck we can show you how to make a few tweaks here and there that will make your PC run even faster than it did when new.
