Upgrading & Repairing PCs in Easy Steps
"Upgrading & Repairing PCs in easy steps" focuses mainly on how to keep a PC at the cutting-edge by explaining how and when to replace or add new components.
The book starts with a discussion on when it is necessary to upgrade a part and explains the various buying options (OEM, online, stores, etc) with the pros and cons. We also
look at related issues, such as warranties and common scams, such as bundled software.
It then looks at all the various aspects of a PC, i.e. performance, storage, networking, etc, and examines the relevant components. For example, how CPU's and RAM affect the PC's performance. It explains what these parts do and how they work.
All important component specifications are explained to enable you to buy an upgrade that will be adequate for the required purpose. At the end of each chapter an illustrated guide is provided to show clearly how to install each component.
The final chapter provides a troubleshooting guide that explains the common faults introduced by upgrading and how to correct them.
