Windows 10 Field Guide is Now Free for Premium Members

I’m happy to announce that the Windows 10 Field Guide by Paul Thurrott, Rafael Rivera, and Martin McClean is now available for free to all Thurrott Premium members.

As you may know, we first published this ebook in November 2015 and have been updating it for each new Windows 10 version ever since. My original plan was to move forward with a new book/edition in early 2020. But with Windows 10 version 2004 being a fairly minor update, I’ve decided to support the existing book through at least the end of 2020. So it will be updated, starting early next year, for Windows 10 version 2004 and, later, for Windows 10 20H2 as well. (There will be one more Windows 10 version 1909 update later this month as well.)

If you are a Premium member, you will find a single-use code for the Windows 10 Field Guide at the top of your Thurrott.com profile page.

You will need to redeem this code at Leanpub, which is where we publish the book, and you should create an account there to receive future book updates. It is available in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI formats, and once you own it, it’s yours forever, and you qualify for all future updates.

If you do not see a code for the book at the top of your profile page or have any other issues, please DO NOT COMMENT BELOW. Instead, email [email protected].

On a related note, Thurrott Premium is currently available for just $48 for one year during our annual Holiday Sale, which runs through January 31. That date is doubly important because it is the cut-off date for the free copy of the Windows 10 Field Guide. Anyone who joins Thurrott Premium by January 31 will get the book for free. After that, this offer ends.

Thanks!  –Paul

    <p>Many thanks, Paul et al. Picked up a copy a couple of weeks ago and it has been very helpful on my first Win10 from scratch setup at home. Am recommending it to friends/coworkers (of course I recommend a premium membership as well, but if they just want the book for cost purposes, that is an option too).</p>

    <p>Are we allowed to gift the code to a friend if we already have purchased a copy? This was a great gesture!</p>

    <p>Thank you, Paul, Rafael, and Martin. I've gotten a lot out of the Guide and am planning to take some of my holiday season downtime for a re-read.</p>

    <p>Ok, I gotta ask, If one already owns the book, it's good through 2020 as well?</p>
