Windows 8 for Beginners

Windows 8 is a big change from any previous Windows operating system. Whether you’re a devout Windows user or new to the operating system, the latest and greatest update to the Windows series is here to change the way that you use a desktop computer. The joy in using Windows 8 comes from the fact that it’s the most streamlined Windows experience yet, simplifying where things need to be simplified and making the whole user experience a much friendlier one. However, frustration may come to users for that exact same reason. If you’re updating from Windows 7 then you may find yourself utterly lost and confused with the new tiles layout, the lack of a Start button (although that has been reinstated in the Windows 8.1 update) and what appears to be an entirely new interface. Of course, if you stick with it then this confusion will quickly pass as you get to grips with just how easy to use Windows 8 can be. In this detailed feature you’ll see just how much you can achieve with Windows 8, from streaming your favourite TV shows to completely personalising your machine for your exact wants and needs – and whatever those are, Windows 8 has something for you.
