WINDOWS 10 FOR DUMMIES---Now I am reasonably intelligent guy but they now need to publish a book called HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE WINDOWS 10 BOOK FOR DUMMIES.
 

Lon, I had the challenge of teaching folks to use the company computers and please don't believe you cannot deal with day to day use of these marvels. There will be a moment coming when the lights will go on and you will understand what you need to. I was against the wall until it happened to me. I'm still not as able as some 6yr olds, but I do get by. If I can ever help, private message me.....

I first started using a computer around 1975, not as a techie, just a user. I have had desk tops, lap tops, I Pads and now I Phone. I never had any problems with the different Microsoft versions and probably should have stuck with 7 instead of downloading 10.
 

Usually the blah-blah 4 Dummies books usually fall short of being useful. But, they make $$. Cliff's Notes would be a better choice, for a quick "how to" publication.

Here's a popular and potentially useful blah blah 4 Dummies book:

I had some minor problems with W10 when I first started using it, but then, I discovered a couple of functions that quickly resolved the issues. The first one is the "HELP" function...it is present on almost any function, and offers easy solutions to anything I have come up against. The Second is "Cortana"....just type in a question, and you will quickly be led to a solution. This latest upgrade has a new function called "narrator"...which speaks to you with every keystroke. I found that to be a bit of a nuisance, so I have already turned that off.

I really don't see a need to ever buy a "book" on how to use a home computer.
 
I like Cortana too. My daughter got me a new desktop for my birthday last year and so far no problems. It came preloaded with 10. I really liked 7 and was worried about it but no problems yet. I don't do much except email, check FB for latest pics of old high school classmates, etc. stuff like that.
