Finding your way around.
WHAT TO LEARN
Where your files are stored by default How to open the file manager quickly How to open settings How to search the whole system How to see what is running
WHAT THE SYSTEM SEARCH DOES
Finds programs, settings and files from one place.
WHY THAT MATTERS
It replaces hunting through menus entirely.
WHAT TO LEARN THE SHORTCUT FOR
Opening that search.
It is the single most useful thing to know on any system.
WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
How to minimise everything and see the desktop How to switch between open programs How to close a program that has stopped responding
WHAT TO DO ABOUT A FROZEN PROGRAM
Use the system's task manager to close it.
Not the power button.
WHY
Forcing power off risks corrupting whatever was open.
WHAT TO EXPLORE
The settings, once, so you know what exists.
WHY
You cannot use a feature you do not know is there.
WHAT TO AVOID
Changing settings you do not understand.
