How to Expand and Upgrade PCs (How to Use)

How To Expand And Upgrade PCs focuses on upgrades and add-ons. It uses the highly visual layout of the How to Use series combined with the look of the incredibly successful How it Works series to make upgrading a snap. It goes beyond most hardware books by addressing more than just the nuts, bolts, and techie connections of hardware. Learn the Windows and application setup for your new hardware, and how to use it once you have it installed. This unique approach brings together all of the pre-purchase, installation, and usage issues a user will face.
