The style and explanations are similar and it was a lot of help. As the name implies, it is written for the everyday "user" of computers and not the "guru" or "geek". Detailed enough for everyday use, but not technical enough for an expert. For anyone, like me, who only understands the power button, and e-mail, this book will give you a headache, and make you feel like a pre-schooler. Because Windows 10, is no more user-friend than a mainframe computer. I had hoped for directions which would say "For easy access, enter this command".

Using a password solves some of those problems, and Windows 10 offers other security solutions, as well. Snapshot of clicking the user account name and then type the password on the next screen. When you’re in the door, Windows wants you to sign in, as shown in Figure 2-2, by clicking your name and passing the security check.

On touchscreen tablets, the Start menu fills the entire screen. Its large tiles make them easy to tap with your fingertips. On a desktop computer, however, the Start menu retreats to a corner of the screen, where you can click its tiny buttons and menus with your mouse pointer. Microsoft updates some of Windows 10’s apps on a daily or weekly basis, adding new features, removing unpopular ones, and fixing problems. The latest update brought many new icons to Windows’ built-in apps.

About Andy Rathbone
Microsoft expected people to return to the tile-filled opening screen to launch their desktop programs.

Snapshot of moving past this lock screen, press a key on the keyboard or drag up on the screen with your mouse or finger. The Windows 10 Start menu doesn’t look much like the Start menu in older versions of Windows. Microsoft’s latest big update added a few buttons and features, but the basic mechanics remain the same. If there’s no Start button, you’re running Windows 8. And if clicking your Start button fills the screen with a bunch of colorful tiles, you’re running Windows 8.1. Unlike Windows 8 and 8.1, Windows 10 no longer feels like two operating systems crammed into one computer.
