Windows 10: Part 1 Windows 10: Part 1 Updated: May 2018 Price: $2.00 A Special Note on Terminology Windows 10 accepts both mouse and touch commands. This means that you could use either mouse clicks or touch gestures interchangeably. Throughout this document, you will read either click, tap, or click/tap. Please note that you can click on anything that says “tap,” and you can tap on anything that says “click.” Click = Tap Double Click = Double Tap Click and Drag = Tap and Drag Right Click = Tap and Hold NOTE: You must have a touchscreen to use touch commands. What is Windows 10? Windows 10 is Microsoft’s latest operating system for home and work computers. An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that enables the user to interact with the computer. Currently, Windows is still the most popular OS on the market for personal or home computers. The Microsoft Account Before we go further, let’s talk about the Microsoft Account. When you first upgrade to Windows 10, or purchase a computer with Windows 10, you will have the opportunity to create a Microsoft ID. NOTE: You do not have to create an ID, but some features require you to create an account. A Microsoft ID allows you to access Internet-connected apps, the Microsoft Store, and Cortana. If these terms are new to you—don’t worry!—we will explain them later. For now, know that as you get more used to the computer, you may need to create a Microsoft account to use additional features in Windows. Lesson 1: Touring Windows 10 The Desktop After you start your computer and sign into Windows, you will see the desktop. The desktop is your work area and the backdrop of the computer screen. 2 Parts of the Desktop 1. Taskbar: By default, the taskbar is located on the bottom edge of the desktop. The taskbar will display active windows, notifications, and the Start Button. 2. Shortcut Icons: Small pictures on the desktop are called icons. Icons are connected to computer programs or files. When you double-click on an icon, it will open the associated program or folder. 3. Recycle Bin: When you delete an object, Windows 10 sends it to the Recycle Bin. You can restore objects from the Recycle Bin or you can permanently delete them. The Taskbar The taskbar is a long bar that runs along the bottom of your desktop. Any active windows will display on the taskbar. You will have access to the Start Menu and will be able to view your notifications thru the taskbar. A B C D E F A. Start: You click the Start button to display the Start Menu. You use the Start menu to open programs and to perform other functions, such as searching for files. You can view all available programs from the Start Menu. B. Search: Next to the Start button, you will find the search bar. The search bar will search for programs, files, or websites (if connected to the Internet). C. Task Manager: Click or tap the task manager icon (see right) to view all your running programs, switch between programs, and switch between desktops. D. Quick Launch: Using the Quick Launch toolbar, you can open a program or file by clicking its icon. Certain programs (Edge, File Explorer, and Microsoft Store) are in the Quick Launch by default. E. Active programs: Programs that are currently running. The task bar lets you switch between programs by clicking on the Active Program Icon. For example, if both Word and File Explorer open at the same time, you can switch between Word and File Explorer by clicking on their icons. F. Notification Area: This area displays the time, date, and current status of the computer. 3 Lesson 2: Using the Start Menu To open the Start menu, click the Start button ( ) in the lower-left corner of your screen. - or - Press the Windows logo key ( ) on your keyboard. The Start Menu gives you access to all the programs and files in your computer. There are two parts to the start menu: 1. Start Menu: You can access a variety of programs and files using this menu. 2. Metro Apps: If you have used Windows 8 previously, you may recognize the metro apps on the side. These apps open the associated program. For example, the mail app will open the email program. The term “apps” is short for applications. All applications/apps are computer programs. Apps is a colloquial term used to distinguish the smaller and faster programs from the larger, more resource-driven programs (like Microsoft Office). Apps let you do something useful and fast. The Metro Apps are found on all Windows phones, tablets, and computers. 4 Start Menu Functions Under the Most Used category, you will quickly find the most frequently used programs. You can tap or click on these programs to open them. At the bottom of the start menu, you will see My Account, File Explorer, Settings, Power. My Account – Opens a menu that allows you to log out, lock the screen, or open a new window to your account settings. File Explorer- Opens a window that will allow you to access your saved files, documents, and pictures. Settings- Adjust your computer settings, including: adding users, changing colors and theme, and selecting privacy settings. Power- Shut down your computer by selecting shut down. Put your computer to sleep by selecting sleep. There are multiple ways to open a program. To open the Weather (which displays the most current local weather information) app, you can: Method 1 Click on the Metro app associated with the program. Method 2 1. On the taskbar, click on the Start button. 2. In the Start menu, you will see a list of all your apps to the right. 3. Locate Weather. *You might have scroll down the list. To scroll, either use your finger and swipe up or click on the small, white arrow that points down. NOTE: The small pictures next to some of the selections are folders. That’s because a group of similar files are stored in “folders.” Folder: a directory of files; users can create and rename as many folders as needed. 5 Method 3 1. In the search bar, type the name of the program or a keyword. 2. Tap the Weather program, which appears at the top of the list. NOW YOU TRY: Practice using the Start Menu by opening the app called Calculator. Lesson 3: Canceling Unwanted Menus Anytime you see a list or menu that you do not need, you can turn it off. To turn off unwanted menus, click anywhere on the screen that is blank. A blank area does not have icons or links to click. Click/tap anywhere on this space to close the Start menu or any other unwanted menus. NOW YOU TRY: o Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon. A new menu appears. o Tap or click in the blank area to close the menu. Lesson 4: Shortcuts Desktop Shortcuts The small icons on your desktop are shortcuts to programs, documents, or files. If you do not want to go through the Start Menu each time you want to find one of your most used programs, you can create a shortcut on the desktop. Double-click these icons to open the file or start the program. 6 To create a shortcut on the desktop: 1. Locate the program or file. 2. Click and drag the program to the desktop. NOW YOU TRY: Create a shortcut for the Calendar app. o Open the Start menu. o Look for the Calendar app. o Click and drag the icon from the Start menu to the desktop. Arranging Shortcuts You can click and drag to move your shortcuts anywhere on the screen at any time. If you do not want to spend time arranging the icons one-by-one, you have the option to quickly sort your shortcuts. To quickly sort your icons: 1. Right-click on the blank space area of the desktop. 2. Select Sort By. 3. Choose your preferred way to organize. NOW YOU TRY: Try arranging your icons in alphabetical order by name. Deleting Shortcuts You can delete any unwanted shortcuts. When you delete items from your computer, those items move to the Recycle Bin. Files are not permanently removed until you empty the Recycle Bin. To delete icons: Method 1 1. Tap and hold OR right-click the icon. 2. Select Delete from the menu that appears. Method 2 1. Click and drag the icon to the Recycle Bin icon. 2. Drop the icon on top of the Recycle Bin icon. NOW YOU TRY: Delete the calendar shortcut you created earlier. 7 Lesson 5: How to Use the Recycle Bin Recycle Bin acts as a temporary holder of unwanted programs, files and shortcuts. This is a precaution Microsoft built in case the user accidently deleted the wrong file. When you want a file to be permanently deleted, you need to delete the file from Recycle Bin. Example: Let’s say you accidently delete a wanted file. Here are the steps to restore that file: 1. Double click the Recycle Bin icon to open the File Explorer window. 2. You are now in the Recycle Bin window. Click on the file you want to restore. 3. Click Restore the selected item. To permanently delete a file: 1. Double click on the Recycle Bin icon. 2. Right-click OR tap and hold the item. 3. Select Delete. NOTE: If you wanted to permanently delete everything in the bin, click Empty Recycle Bin.

  • How to Convert Desktop Apps to Universal Windows Platform Apps with Desktop Bridge
    How to convert desktop apps to Universal Windows Platform apps with Desktop Bridge If you're looking to bring your traditional app to the Universal Windows Platform, this guide walks you through the steps to use the DesktopAppConverter to convert your app. On Windows 10, Microsoft is not only adding new features and making the operating system more secure, but it's also investing on making the Windows Store the single place for users to acquire apps. The caveat with the Windows Store is that it doesn't include support for distribution of traditional desktop applications -- you're only able to download Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. However, Microsoft is making some changes, and now thanks to Desktop Bridge, we're slowly starting to see desktop apps and tools available in the Store. What's Desktop Bridge? How does Desktop Bridge works? Things you need before converting an app How to prepare your computer to convert apps How to convert desktop apps into Windows Store apps How to install a converted app on Windows 10 What's Desktop Bridge? It's all part of an initiative called Project Centennial, which now you know as Desktop Bridge. The new approach is essentially a "bridge" that let developers take traditional desktop applications and convert them into Universal Windows Platform (modern) apps. The idea behind Desktop Bridge is that great apps take time and effort, and if they're already working, Microsoft doesn't want you to abandon that code. With Desktop Bridge, you can take your existing desktop application (Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms), make a little modification (if necessary), and bring that great code to the new platform, which can also take advantage of many new features.

    Organizing Screens with 7 Mission Control If you’re like a lot of Mac users, you like to do a lot of things at once. No matter how big your screen may be, it can still feel crowded as you open and arrange multiple windows on the desktop. The solution to the problem? Mission Control. The idea behind Mission Control is to show what you’re running all at once. It allows you to quickly swap programs. In addition, Mission Control lets you create multiple virtual desktops (called Spaces) that you can display one at a time.
