About the free online course
Feeling stuck when something changes on your computer, or spending too long on simple tasks like finding files, organizing folders, or changing basic settings? This course helps you build real confidence in Windows 10 so you can use your PC smoothly at home, at school, or at work. You will learn to navigate the desktop and Start menu with purpose, understand what the taskbar is best for, and keep your workspace organized so apps and documents are always within reach.
Instead of guessing where things are, you will practice efficient ways to open, switch, and arrange windows, including split-screen setups that make multitasking easier. You will also develop habits that protect your time and your computer: using built-in tools to clean up storage, manage startup programs, keep Windows updated, and understand the role of Windows security features. Small improvements like these can make a noticeable difference in performance and day-to-day comfort.
File management is a major focus, because it is one of the most valuable computer basics for any learner or professional. You will work with File Explorer, USB drives, downloads, folders and subfolders, file extensions, hidden items, and safe deletion practices, so you always know what you are moving, saving, or removing. You will also learn how to capture and share information using screenshot tools, which is especially useful for studying, reporting issues, and collaborating.
The course goes beyond the basics by connecting Windows 10 to everyday productivity: browsing smarter with Microsoft Edge, handling downloads safely, installing and uninstalling software correctly, and using cloud storage with OneDrive to keep important files accessible across devices. By the end, you will have a practical, repeatable workflow for using Windows 10 with speed, clarity, and control, whether you are starting from scratch or tightening up your skills for work and study.
