Windows 10 Primer Tutorial

Windows 10 Primer Tutorial

The Windows 10 operating system (by Microsoft) is a breath of fresh air compared to Windows 8. This is the opinion of someone trying to teach beginner and intermediate level students confidence with Windows and the Internet.

Somehow it felt to me like Windows 8 broke something the wrong way trying to make Windows look more like an Android phone perhaps, but, pretty obviously, not going that way completely. It feels like Windows 10 brings back that point of difference and restores more of those older excellent Windows ways and look, it seems to me. We’ve seen from student reactions Windows 10 is not as scary to work with, no longer requiring that toggling between the “apps” look and the “Windows desktop” (from Windows 7 and before) look. Yet, Windows 10 to look at, is not going “retro” in any way with the way it looks or functions, in our opinion.

So that is an impression of Windows 10 from a peremptory look. Let’s ask more questions, from the viewpoint, we hope, of someone being offered those Windows 10 upgrades, and wondering whether to move up to Windows 10 …

• Q: What memory and CPU requirements are there for Windows 10?
• Q: What disk space is needed for a Windows 10 upgrade?
• Q: Is a Windows 10 upgrade free?
• Q: How long will it take to do a Windows 10 upgrade?
• Q: What applications are new with Windows 10?
• Q: What is Windows 10 Preview?
• Q: What is incompatible with Windows 10?
• Q: What happens with Microsoft Office and Windows 10?
• Q: What problems can a Windows 10 upgrade solve?
• Q: What is Microsoft Edge?
• Q: Can I revert back to older Windows version after a Windows 10 upgrade?

The magazine we like with keeping informed about Windows matters is PC and Tech Authority where you can get advice from such software matters through to hardware issues like building your own PC.
