Windows
This class is designed to help you understand the most vital piece of software on your computer, the operating system! Learn how to navigate to different locations on your computer using Windows File Explorer. Organize your files by using folders. Learn the difference between a 'file' and a 'folder'. This class was intended for the computer novice, but with the release of Microsoft's newest Windows, 8.1, many experienced computer users would benefit from learning the ins and outs of the program.
