Description

Did you know...

Windows 10 is now being used by more than one billion people worldwide. But, believe it or not, most users don't know they have a truly AMAZING operating system. Windows 10 is so much more than what meets the eye!

In this Windows 10 course, I'll take you on a journey that will introduce you to some pretty cool things about Windows 10, that once learned, will surely set you above the rest of the pack! You'll learn how to optimize the time you spend in Windows 10, by learning key features about the Windows 10 operating system.

This will also include how to carry out preventative maintenance to stop your computer falling back into it's old habits.

Oh ya... did I mention, there's no need for screw drivers and other sorts of tools! Your two main tools for this part will be your keyboard and mouse, and of course YOU!

Why I created this course:

I was inspired to create this course after I bore witness to how many Windows 10 users were living with less than desirable computer performance. It was only with my intervention that they were able to start using their computer (Some of them very expensive computers) with the performance it was designed to deliver; and afterwards, they would sometimes look at me as if I had just painted a masterpiece in front of there very eyes :) I also noticed there were many things they were doing that were simply not efficient. And If I shared my knowledge with them, would save them valuable time and effort. Time and effort that can be spent doing more important things.

What you'll learn in this course:

Become more confident using Windows 10.
Be able to carry out basic to semi-advanced software maintenance.
Manage programs and applications more effectively, and efficiently.
Discover new skills that will set you apart from other Windows 10 users.
Become more confident with general and advanced computer use.
And much more...

What you need to enroll:

If you're reading this description on a Windows 10 computer, or you own a Windows 10 computer, then your already qualified to do this course! You'll be able to start carrying out the exercises and procedures that I show you straight away! If there is any requirement to leave your computer switched on and plugged in, while it carries out a task, I will let you know at the beginning of those specific tutorials, so you'll be able to manage that part of the course more affectively.

You'll be able to take the skills taught in this course and apply them to pretty much all aspects of your "digital life". Whether it be improving your skill set for a current or future employment, adding to your skills set as a self employed individual, or just maintaining your own (or maybe someone else's) computer.
