User Breakdown
When Microsoft released Windows 8 they had ambitious dreams for the world’s biggest Operating System, they dreamed of unifying consumer’s computing experience across all of their devices. This meant that every single device that runs Windows 8 (and now Windows 8.1) has the same operating system. The adaptability and flexibility of this lightweight OS had many positives, such as the fact that the plethora of low-cost Windows tablets on the market are akin to a touchscreen computer in your hand, unlike any other tablets on the market you can run full Windows programs on your tablet – you can even plug in peripherals like a mouse and keyboard and use your tablet like a fully-fledged desktop machine. The functionality of mobile devices touting Windows 8 is hugely impressive but the ‘one experience’ vision from Microsoft meant that many users that were using traditional desktops and laptops were left with a harder end of the bargain from the touch-optimised OS.
Our end-user training for Windows 8 means that you will be able to avoid any of the pitfalls of Windows 8 on a desktop machine, on top of this we will ensure that you get the most out of your touchscreen Windows 8 device, meaning you can have a useful entertainment tablet for games and videos but a powerful productive device to run Microsoft Office and extend your desktop experience. Many users found Windows 8 difficult to get to grips to when they first opened the Operating System, with our end user training you’ll learn how to navigate Windows 8 with a confidence that will make you feel like you never left Windows 7!
The modules that makes up the Windows 8 training are as follows:
