in this video we're going to cover the basics of getting started with Windows 10.
When you first turn on a Windows 10 computer you'll see the lock screen.
Just click the mouse or press any button on the keyboard to unlock, then choose a
user account and enter your password.
You should have been prompted this setup this account the very first time you
used Windows 10. Once you've signed in, the desktop will appear. This is the main
workspace your computer and it's where you'll open programs, access files, and a
whole lot more. For example, to open an application, just click the Start button
in the lower left corner of the screen, then choose the app you want.
If you don't see the app you're looking for, click All apps to see a full list or
choose one of the tiles on the right. In this example I'm going to open Microsoft Edge.
Just like previous versions of Windows, you'll click the X in the upper
right corner to close the app. Now if you're looking for faster method, you can
try searching for an app instead. To do this, click the Start button or press the
Windows key on your keyboard then start typing. For example, if you wanted to open
PowerPoint, you could click the start button and then start typing "PowerPoint".
It should be the first result that appears. Another method is to use the
File Explorer, which you can open from this icon on the taskbar. From here you
can navigate to any file or folder on your computer, including any files that
are stored in your OneDrive. As with any computer, it's important to know how to
change your settings if necessary. To do this, just click the Start button then
click Settings. The Settings app will appear, and from here you can change lots
of different things about your computer, like your desktop background,
user accounts, and a whole lot more. Now if you're used to using the Control Panel
like in previous versions of Windows, you can still access it but it's sort of hidden.
To open the Control Panel, just click the Start button and then start typing
"Control Panel"
it should appear at the top of the search results. From here you can use the
Control Panel to adjust lots of different settings on your computer and those that
can't be adjusted from here will direct you back to the Settings app.
Finally, when you're done using your computer, it's important to turn it off correctly,
or at least put it into sleep mode. To do this. click the Start button, select Power,
then choose Shut down.
OK, so those are the basics and they should be enough to help you get started with Windows 10.
