TweakGuides Tweaking Companion for Windows 8

The TweakGuides Tweaking Companion (TGTC) is the complete system customization and optimization guide for all Windows users. Designed for novice and advanced users alike, it is written in plain English to help you genuinely understand all key aspects of Windows and your PC. The guide covers every major topic, from the correct installation of critical drivers and software, through to simple explanations and recommendations for every significant Windows setting and feature, all the major performance and convenience tweaks and customizations, as well as detailed troubleshooting advice. Also provided are links and instructions for a large number of reliable free applications that can enhance your system and give you viable alternatives to purchasing commercial software.


Deluxe Edition: The enhanced Deluxe Edition of the TGTC contains detailed screenshots and illustrative images, as well as other useful features that make using this book much more convenient, such as high quality text resolution for better print quality, full bookmarks for jumping quickly to particular areas of the book, and the ability to copy text, which is handy for correctly assigning lengthy Registry values or entering complex Command Prompt commands. These features are all missing from the free Regular Edition, so if you want these enhancements, and also want to show your support, please consider purchasing the Deluxe Edition. The PDF e-book version has no intrusive DRM and is around the price of a cup of coffee. For more details see the Deluxe Edition page.

Hosting, Distribution & Translations

Reproducing, altering, hosting, selling or mass distributing these books in any way is not permitted. The latest versions are always available from TweakGuides.com. Translations of these books are also not permitted, as unfortunately I have absolutely no way to determine the quality and accuracy of any translations, which is a concern given the somewhat complex and often delicate procedures in them. I've invested a huge amount of time and effort into creating these books, and I also provide a free version of them which is easily accessible so that the widest possible audience can benefit from their contents. People who host these books or portions of them are usually doing so to generate easy traffic, income or credit for themselves using my hard work, which is not acceptable. Appropriate action will be taken against any such individuals who do not respect the concept of author rights. For those who do not understand the strictness of these conditions, please see here.
