This course and specifically chapter 1 could have not come
at better time, as I just upgraded to Windows 7 over the weekend. Chapter 1
starts at the very beginning with launching windows 7 and logging onto the computer.
Then proceeds to review the desktop and its essential parts and continues right
through to turning the computer off. It’s a hands-on approach with clear
diagrams and instruction so you can actually practice each step as you proceed.
It virtually goes screen by screen explaining each item i.e. start menu, scroll
bars, accessories folder, and much more. This method is structured so you can go at your
own pace.
Some of the key areas discussed are "The Desktop",
"Launching a Program", and “Using Windows Help and Support".
Each one of the key areas was broken down with specific topics such as Recycle
bin, resizing a window, getting started with Windows, and the list goes on with
many more topics. Some of the topics that I found very helpful were in the
gadget section particularly the snip tool, also being able to pin icons to the
task bar so easily, and the help section which will guide you to the
information you’re seeking.
I found chapter 1 to be the foundation for getting started
with Windows 7. It is very user friendly with an excellent on line support system.
