Windows Tips Every Beginner Should Know!

The video is an hour-long beginner-friendly class presented by Jim Cerny, Vice President of STUG, that introduces practical tips for navigating and customizing Windows 10 and 11. Jim explains how to access and organize apps, manage the desktop and taskbar, and use both the Settings app and Control Panel, noting Microsoft’s shift toward the Settings app while still valuing Control Panel for certain tasks. He demonstrates the use of Windows search, customization of mouse pointers, and accessibility options, while also covering safe practices for downloading apps from the Microsoft Store or trusted websites. Throughout the session, Jim stresses that Windows offers multiple ways to perform the same task, encourages experimentation, and highlights the importance of using online resources for continued learning. He also points out subtle changes in Windows 11, such as naming conventions and integration of Microsoft accounts, while reminding users to stay cautious about app sources. The class concludes with a Q&A that emphasizes peer learning and community support, making the video both an instructional guide and a collaborative learning experience.
