Three Foolish Assumptions

I make three assumptions about you:

check.png You have a PC running Microsoft Windows. (I took pictures of the QuickBooks windows and dialog boxes while using Windows 7, in case you’re interested.)

check.png You know a little bit about how to work with your computer.

check.png You have or will buy a copy of QuickBooks for each computer on which you want to run the program.

tip.eps This book works for QuickBooks 2013, although, in a pinch, you can probably also use it for QuickBooks 2012 or 2014. (I have to say, however, that if you have QuickBooks 2012, you may instead want to return this book and trade it in for QuickBooks 2012 For Dummies by yours truly.)

By the way, if you haven’t already installed QuickBooks and need help, jump to Appendix A, which tells you how to install QuickBooks in ten easy steps. And, if you’re just starting out with Microsoft Windows, peruse Chapter 1 of the Windows User’s Guide or one of these books on your flavor of Windows: Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd Edition, Windows Vista For Dummies, Windows 7 For Dummies, or Windows 8 For Dummies, all by Andy Rathbone.
