Course Objectives
This ½ day course aims to give users an understanding of the new features of Windows 8. It covers the Start Screen, Modern Apps, Charms, the new Default folders and also looks at commands that are in previous versions of Windows but are done a different way in Windows 8.
Who Should Attend?
Windows 8 is the biggest change in the Windows operating system since Windows 95 was launched – some 18 years ago. So it is hardly surprising that even experienced Windows users are finding it difficult to find commands in the new version. This course is aimed at people who have used a previous version of Microsoft Windows and wish to learn the new features of Microsoft Windows 8.
