Bringing enhanced functionality and an improved interface, Windows 8 is set to become the world’s most widely-used operating system. But with so many new features and layout options, many computer users can feel a little confused at first, including those familiar with earlier versions of Windows. That’s why we have developed the Windows 8 for Dummies course with no assumption of prior knowledge. Whether a total beginner or a confident user, learners will be able to greatly improve their computing experience with this professionally crafted, self-paced study course.
Take your time learning the basics of starting up, logging in and finding your way around Windows 8. Or, if you’ve been using Windows 8 for a while, speed through the early lessons to get to grips with the advanced concepts. See how features like the Charm Bar and apps-based interface can make life faster and easier. Students with touch-screen monitors or tablet computers can also benefit from specific lessons on making the most of these tools.
Many people find that computers can make them feel challenged or stressed. Enrolling in the Windows 8 for Dummies course will give you everything you need to know to find your way around your PC quickly, easily and stress-free. Learn the tricks and shortcuts used by IT professionals to get things done the fast way, and see just how much time and energy you will save.
