Introduction to Windows 10
Course Syllabus

Learn the basics that every computer user must know in order to use a computer with minimal frustration followed by the most important skills and terminology that allow you to control what you see on your screen at all times. Then, explore the revised Start Menu and Apps in Windows 10.
This lesson explores the revised Start Menu and Apps in Windows 10. You will explore the Windows Store and learn how to customize the Start Menu.
In this lesson, you will have fun personalizing your computer by choosing your own desktop pictures, window colors, and sound scheme. The skills you learn in this lesson will go a long way to helping you gain complete control of your computer.
No matter how you intend to use your computer, there will be times when there’s some typing involved. It might be for writing email messages, memos, or letters, or it might be for taking notes in a course, or for chatting with others on a website. Whatever the reason, this lesson will teach you all the tricks for making typing quick and easy.
Everything that’s in your computer is stored on its hard drive. The hard drive is like a filing cabinet containing files organized into folders. Finding files that you have saved is a matter of opening the filing cabinet, so to speak, and then locating the correct folder. In this lesson, you will learn how it all works.
In this lesson, you will explore two Windows 10 features: OneDrive and Cortana. OneDrive is a cloud storage solution that lets you store files and folders both on your PC as well as the Microsoft cloud. Cortana is Microsoft’s personal digital assistant that can help find files, folders, apps, and settings on your PC as well as information on the Internet.
In this lesson, you will learn how to organize your photos and view them using Windows 10’s Photos App. You will see how to view individual photos, draw and rotate, and auto-enhance your shots. You will also learn about the Photos App editing tools for adjusting brightness and contrast, cropping, and more.
It’s likely that you have seen references to .com sites in ads and elsewhere. This lesson introduces Edge, the program that provides access to websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and many others.
This lesson will explore managing files and folders. In many work and school environments, people just assume you know how to manage files, and they rarely provide any details on copying, moving, or renaming files and folders.
In this lesson, you will expand your file management skills by learning how to delete and recover files. You will learn how to select multiple files to work with, so you don’t always have to manage your files one at a time.
This lesson is all about using the tools and techniques built into Windows to help you protect your valuable files. Your computer is an investment of money, and the pictures and other files you store on your computer are an investment of time.
In your final lesson, you will learn some more techniques for protecting your computer, including using resources for free protection from viruses and spyware. You will learn how to remove programs you no longer want or need and discover some great timesaving tips and shortcuts to help you make the most out of Windows 10.
