Windows 10 technical support on cards
With all the initial confusion and upgrade hassles that followed the release of Windows 10, I breathed a sigh of relief when I received Beezix Software Services Windows 10 Introduction Quick Reference guides. The four 8.5-by-11-inch, laminated crib sheets pack a surprisingly succinct assemblage of how-to tricks and tips for mastering Windows 10.
Instead of searching online to figure out Win10 s myriad setup, navigation, and other common functions, I found most of my answers on one of the well-organized pages. To squeeze in all the information, Beezix uses both its own original icons as well as ones found in Windows and then combines them with step-by-step numbering to guide users along.
Using the guide, I was surprised to discover some Win10 functions that are easier to use than they initially seemed. For example, the cards showed how to configure the various ways to sign in to the operating system (picture, typed, and PIN passwords). I also found quick help for resizing the Start menu and managing tile groups. It produced a forehead-slapping well duh! moment.
Other concise tutorials show how to get the most out of the Action Center, the multiple ways to switch between apps and windows, the ins and mostly outs of searching with speech enabled Cortana, and working with multiple desktops.
But managing content with File Explorer gets by far the most coverage. The cards take you through managing files and folders; customizing the Quick Access View; and linking to a document, folder, or app.
A useful sidebar has all the keyboard shortcuts I wrote about in the Aug.
