Windows 10: A complete Windows 10 guide and user manual for beginners!

Introduction

You may be considering upgrading to Windows 10 or perhaps you already have it.

Either way, the majority of Windows 10 users don’t realize how amazing this operating system can be and how many different features it has that will completely change the way you navigate the internet and interact with your PC.

From voice-activated digital assistants and multiple virtual desktops to apps that know what kind of device you’re using, and apps compatible with Xbox One, Windows 10 has plenty of upgraded features and also some brand new tools too. It is, by far, Microsoft’s best version of Windows to date.

However, it can be overwhelming reading through hundreds of pages in the Windows manual that, unless you’re an IT professional, can seem like it’s written in an alien language, not to mention a pretty dull read. That’s why I wrote this book which explains the main key features of Windows 10, how to use them, and how to overcome many common issues.

In this book, all the jargon and computer-speak has been left to one side to give you a complete guide to using Windows 10 in plain English. In the first chapter, I will explain what Windows 10 is and how it differs from older versions (and how it’s much better than Windows 8.1, Microsoft’s most-complained about Windows version). The following chapters will look at the benefits of using Microsoft 10, what it’s new and exclusive features are, and how you can use them and customize them for your personal preferences. It also includes a Frequently Asked Questions section in the final chapter where you should find the answers to all your doubts and issues regarding Windows 10.

Before we look at all it’s incredible tools and features, let’s move onto Chapter One and find out: what is Windows 10?

Chapter 1: What Is Windows 10?

This chapter will explain what Windows 10 is and what makes it different from all the other Windows versions.

There are a lot of different Windows versions and for those out of the technology loop, it’s easy to feel lost in what’s what and how everything works.

Windows 10 – sometimes abbreviated to Win10 or WinX – is the latest version of Microsoft Windows. You would be forgiven for thinking that before Windows 10 it was the Windows 9 version but in fact, it wasn’t; Microsoft skipped the Windows 9 version and upgraded to Windows 10 straight from Windows 8.1. It was released at the end of July, 2016; yet despite it being around for a few years, it still baffles people and a lot of users don’t know its full potential or features.

That’s because Windows 10 is extremely powerful – it’s Microsoft’s most powerful operating system so far– and, as a result, the most complex out of the Windows versions to use. The user interface is actually highly logical though and once you get used to it, easy to navigate; however, most users barely scratch the surface
