“Easy Windows 8,” by Mark Edward Soper, $25, is by far the best and easiest of the Windows 8 books we’ve seen. It’s from QuePublishing.com and has screen shots on every page to help step you though.
With huge pictures and simple steps, it’s full of useful tips like how to make movies, recover erased or damaged files, copy music from a CD to your hard drive, and navigate Windows 8. For instance, when you’re in the Windows 8 start screen, go to all apps, find any you like and right-click those to pin them to Tile World. Some programs can also be pinned to the taskbar, the thin strip on the bottom of your screen.
