Windows 11 Inside Out

This book has more than I expected to find in a tutorial book. I recommend it to professionals who need to understand the intricacies of Windows 11 or whop are in a support position where they have to teach or assist others who are overwhelmed by the new OS. Personally, the book saved me a lot of time after the install. I write a lot of software for embedded systems. The IDEs may not be Windows programs. Windows 11 has a feature that allows me to run LINUX and Android programs without the annoying reboots. The tips throughout the book are quick ways to get things done.

This is a really thorough treatment of Windows 11. Ed Bott has always done a great job on his Windows operating system books. Bear in mind, this is not for beginners. He even states in the book that it is not for beginners. This book is for savvy computer users and techs like myself If you are looking for a book for beginners, there is one on Amazon called Windows 11 Computer Tips by Mike Fulford. That is for beginners.

Haven't Read the whole book yet. Has good information.

Book explains all setup options when installing Windows 11. For example, I didn’t know than Windows 11 could be set up with a local account (Microsoft cleverly hides that detail). So I set it with default settings which causes most applications to use OneDrive, which I did not want. Even if you attempt to use other folder paths, many applications will revert back to using OneDrive. You can try to change this default behavior, but it keeps coming back. It appears the only full solution is to reinstall Windows 11.

Have bought this publication for every new windows release; never disappointed, particularly useful for windows 11 transition.

It's great

Ok, but lots of out of date or incorrect information.

One of the Windows tools I use is PowerShell for renaming multiple files. When I transitioned from Windows 10, I got a well-known basic Windows 11 book, but it didn't go into PowerShell. Being touted as complete, "Windows 11 Inside Out" was my next try. The book was big (750 pages of text), and relatively densely written. It did have a chapter on PowerShell but didn't go into how to use it to rename files. When I googled what I wanted, the AI program there produced a very nice listing of the ways to change strings, add prefixes, or add suffixes to multiple files using PowerShell. My take on it is that "Windows 11 Inside Out" is a great reference for people wanting to work at a high level with Windows 11. The basic books are fine for those wanting to work with apps. If one is in-between, I'm not sure what book, if any, to recommend.

Good information for beginers

Ed Bott is in my view a very experienced writer when it comes to Windows. His language is fluenced and easyly read. I have read several books written by Bott and can only recommend this one for everyone new or familier with Windows.

Livro de um autor consagrado. Sabe muito.

Windows 11 Inside Out is like the other versions of Windows Inside in that it provides a comprehensive and easy to read reference guide to Windows 11 and I highly recommend it.

Ed Bott continues his brilliant Windows inside out series. Plenty of excellent tips, hints and tricks to get the best out of Windows 11. A must have manual for professionals and home users.
