Description
Navigate the Windows 10 platform with ease
When Microsoft released Windows 8, many PC owners were surprised and had difficulty adjusting to it. The interface and basic functionality were different from any previous Windows operating system. However, now Windows 10 combines the best features of Windows 8 with a more traditional navigation structure and layout that users prefer, plus many new modern benefits.
Our trainer, IT professional Chip Reaves, will show you not only how to navigate the new version, but also how to customize many of its features. You’ll also meet Cortana, the new virtual assistant, and learn how to apply task view and other efficiency tools. You’ll also learn how to access the app store to find additional features.

Let's face it, no online training courses are "fun." But some (like Bigger Brains) are engaging and better to spend time on than others!
Bigger Brains courses are built in a unique Teacher/Learner style, featuring two people on camera to recreate some of the interactivity and physiological benefits of classroom training, including dialogue, humor, and practical use case examples. This uniquely engaging video-based format is more enjoyable and, more importantly, more effective than traditional eLearning formats.
Bigger Brains courses are popular with both learners and training professionals around the world. Because we use experienced teachers and subject matter experts with real-world experience, we have the most realistic and comprehensive online training courses possible.
There are also resources to help you learn along with the way. Most Bigger Brains courses include handouts and practice files. Some even include free post-training reinforcement through the BrainBot learning retention app.
