Windows 10 Study
This
study is to identify the basic features of windows 10 for the average user.
Mostly people want to gain back their operating system without so much of a
learning curve. The intent here is to describe those features, providing links
to websites with those quick answers and some pdf files to print. At the Windows
store, you can find a great
In
the Windows 10 , you can search for anything by typing or saying to Cortina in
the search box next to the windows logo in the lower left corner. It will
return a search for any type of file and by default will search the internet
with Edge.
Here’s
a printable file for use to help flatten the learning curve
DID YOU KNOW-
THERE’S A WORD PROCESSOR WITH WINDOWS 10?
Yes you can find it in the Windows Accessories group called Word
Pad. It’s very basic, but it does the job for writing a quick letter
or a list or medications.

us Media Player by finding it in your
Programs list and adding it to the Start tiles.
Personalizing
Windows
There
are two camps. Those who want to use Windows 10 or those who want to continue
using Windows 7 without dealing with Windows 10.
The
most popular question is how do I make shortcuts? In Windows 10 they encourage you to use Start
Tiles or to use the personalization settings to put your chosen files or
programs in the start menu. There are two methods to this first you can use
Cortana to search for the program or file. Once you find it, in the case if
it's a program find the icon that reflects the execute program file , right
click on it. From the the choices choose
create shortcut. Now you have created a shortcut on your desktop. The second method is to use the personalization
settings. To do this start from the action center, choose settings, select personalization,
from the list that appears scroll down to start. Select start , now select Choose which folders appear on the
Start. If you choose Personal Folder, what is added to the Start column is a
link to File Explorer Quick Access.
The
other thing you can do is use the Jump List, like you did in Windows 7. This
works from the TaskBar off the icon placed , and the file you chose to be
pinned to that icon.
Here's a PDF file with that information

Windows File Explorer- Basic Help
You can use the ribbon in File Explorer for common tasks,
such as copying and moving, creating new folders, emailing and zipping items,
and changing the view. The tabs change to show extra tasks that apply to the selected
item.
Users can select to show (expand) the Ribbon so that it is always expanded even after you click a command on the Ribbon, or select to hide (minimize) the Ribbon to show only the tab names on the Ribbon.

There are
several useful websites for learning how to use File Explorer. This is in
addition to using the Help built into the App itself.
I have found
this website super useful for explaining the basic workings of Windows 10

DELETING FILES WITH WINDOWS FILE EXPLORER
When you open
this app or program and we also talked about the two “panes” in this app window
– the “Folder List” in the left pane, and the contents of a folder displayed in
the right pane. Clicking on any folder
on the left will show the contents of that folder on the right. In the second article we looked at the
different VIEWS you can use in Windows/File Explorer and why I recommended the
“Large thumbnail” view for pictures and the “Details” or “Detailed List” view
for all other files. In the third article,
we looked at selecting files for some action, such as to move them, copy them,
or delete them. In this article we will
learn how to work with MULTIPLE files at one time.
Open the
Windows File Explorer app or program and find “Documents” (or “My documents”)
in the left pane and click on it once with your mouse to open the contents of
the Documents folder in the right pane.
You should be saving all your documents and most files here. To SELECT a file for some action, left-click
on it once in the right pane and the file name should be highlighted. (NOTE: If you double-click on the file name
your computer will try to OPEN that file using your computer’s default program
or app for that file type). When people
say “click” using the mouse, they always mean a LEFT-click. A “right-click” of the mouse is specifically
stated as a RIGHT-click.
