LT 8
Was not what I needed. Covers Windows 8, I thought it would do just that-be for Windows 7 with a coverage for 8. It is for Windows 8- I only have 7and vista on my LT's. Of no value for me to keep-retuned it. Otherwise- I believe it would have been a fair product.

previous experience/knowledge of computers
Again, a good primer for computer users switching to laptop computer usage. Not as good for individuals using any computer for the first time.
