Is intended as a technical reference for the Windows operating system, and covers much more than just Windows 11. With that said, the course will cover some of the topics in this book. This book is best used as a reference.
Is very similar to the "Windows 11 Inside Out" book listed above, but it covers Windows 10 instead. For Windows 11-specific information, you should go for the Windows 11-specific book, but this could be used as background reading to understand the foundation.
Covers the command-line tools available in Windows 11. The course briefly covers these tools, but this would be a good additional resource for more in-depth knowledge.
Covers basic PC maintenance and troubleshooting issues, which forms the foundation of many of the skills taught in the course. It is written for a non-technical audience.
Covers automating Windows 11 tasks with PowerShell, which is not covered in the course.
Technical reference for Windows systems, and covers topics that are outside the scope of the course, such as memory management and the Windows kernel.
Covers performance analysis and optimization for Windows systems, topics that the course does not. This useful reference if you are responsible for troubleshooting performance issues in Windows.
Covers Windows 11 from a user perspective, but it also has information that would be useful for IT administrators who oversee home users.
Covers security and compliance for Windows 11 systems, which the course does not. This is good additional reading if you want to learn about implementing security measures on Windows systems in a business environment.
Covers Windows 11 from a user perspective. It may be useful for those who know very little about computers and need to get up to speed on Windows 11.
