I'm frustrated and feeling stupid

[Lon]

I always thought I was a reasonably intelligent guy until trying to learn just the basics of Windows 10. Windows 10 for Dummies has been no help. I have spent hours today and yesterday (Glad I'm Retired) and have learned very little. I will have to get some one on one with my grand daughter or go nuts.

My hubby said we are sticking to 7 :thumbsup: I really don't bother learning that much about the operating system as he handles all that and besides I hardly ever use my laptop since I've had my IPad
Good luck with it Lon . I believe it's a bit of a minefield working through it

The problem with Youtube is that Windows 10 hasn't been around long enough yet.

I know nothing about Windows 10 Lon, but this site has some good info. I listen to this gal on the radio sometimes. http://www.komando.com/?s=windows+10

Lon, really don't get down on yourself. We come from a different generation from this stuff. You should see me doing electronic job applications. Something as stupid simple as create a frickin' password. After getting bounced around multi times you find out the rules...
it must be 15 characters
with at least one upper case character
at least 2 numbers not in sequence
at least one symbol ie #&%
but not a number and symbol in sequential order unless you have a symbol between them
but if it's a full moon you must use up to three uppercase letters and subtract one number


Best advice, a child or grandchild or The Geek Squad at Best Buys...I go there regularly.

Also, if you can't get 10 to work, you can't even get to YouTube, arrgh.

I figured if you can get on here, must have another way to view it since they can see this site and post. Maybe?

I used the first video and am now fairly comfortable with Windows 10.

My wife has to use Windows 10,while we are up north, in the camp office where she works. Lon, don't feel bad as she has been very frustrated working with it too. She has figured out the part she needs to work with, but is always glad to get home to her IMac Pro.

Sorry Lon, I misunderstood. Those videos tell you how to use Win 10 the way Microsoft prefers you use it. As long as you're happy with that they should be fine. It's when you want to start tweaking things, or when things go wrong that there seems to be a shortage of information.

Not that you asked


Any question you have just type in the search on youtube box more than likely they'll have a video, even if it's how to fart properly.
