Windows 7 For Dummies book/DVD bundleQ: What exactly is shown on the DVD included in your Windows 7 For Dummies book/DVD bundle?

I can’t find that information anywhere.

Hi, is it possible to buy the windows 7 for dummies dvd ONLY as I already have the book. I did look at the bundle but found the print in the book that came with it was just to small and difficult for me to read Kind regards Hans Martens

Hans: The DVD isn’t offered separately. However, you might be able to find the book/DVD at your local library.
