3 Chapter 1: Starting With Windows 10 Turning on the Computer If nothing happens when the power button is pressed, chances are the computer is not plugged into an electrical power point or the power point is switched off. Check these before calling for further help. Signing in to Windows User names and passwords are usually set up by the system administrator in your company. Rather than having a local account which requires you to sign in using a user name, you might have a Microsoft account that lets you sign in to Windows using an address and password. Using Windows Search You can display the search panel by right-clicking on the Windows icon in the taskbar and selecting Search. Changing the Windows Search Settings By default, Microsoft display personalised ads in your browser. You can turn this off and manage other personalised ad preferences by clicking on Privacy in the PC settings screen, then modifying settings in the General section. Putting Your Computer to Sleep When your computer is in Sleep mode it uses only a very small amount of power to maintain your work in its memory. If you re using a laptop on a battery and your computer is left sleeping for hours, after a while it will automatically save your work to the hard drive and shut down completely. Shutting Down Your Computer You can restart (reboot) your computer by selecting Restart on the Power Options menu. You may need to do this after installing or updating hardware or software, or if your computer is not working as it should. Watsonia Publishing Page 1

4 Chapter 2: Personalising the User Interface Customising the Start Menu If the Unpin from Start option displays in the menu when you right-click on an app in the All apps list, the app is already pinned on the Start menu. Moving Tiles on the Start Menu You can move tiles as many times as you like. You might like to keep tiles that you frequently use close together, or organise your tiles by function it is completely up to you. Changing Tile Size To dramatically increase the size of the tiles, press + to display the Settings panel, click on Ease of Access, then click on Magnifier in the left pane. Click on the switch for Magnifier in Magnify things on the screen to turn it On. Working With Tile Groups If you resize your Start menu to make it larger, you can place tile groups sideby-side as well as above and below each other. Turning Live Tiles on and Off You ll first need to open and potentially set up the app for which you want to see a live tile. Just opening some apps like News will turn on the live tile feature. To display live tile for Mail, you will need to add at least one account, and for Weather, you will have to let Windows detect your location. Removing Tiles From the Start Menu Unpinning a tile from the Start menu is different to uninstalling an app. Unpinning a tile removes the tile from the Start menu, while uninstalling actually removes the program from your computer (even built-in Windows apps). To uninstall an app, right-click on its tile and select Uninstall. Pinning Apps to the Taskbar You can pin an app to the taskbar by simply opening the app and then rightclicking on its taskbar icon which automatically appears and selecting Pin to taskbar. You can unpin an app from the taskbar by right-clicking on its tile in the Start menu and selecting Unpin from taskbar. Creating Desktop Shortcut Icons Desktop program shortcut icons are recognisable by the arrow that is displayed in the bottom left corner of the icon. Watsonia Publishing Page 2

5 Changing the Lock Screen You can select one of your own photos for the lock screen by clicking on [Browse] in the Lock Screen section of the Settings dialog box and then choosing the picture you want. To play a slide show on your lock screen, click on the drop arrow for Background and select Slideshow. Changing the Desktop Background If you want to see a rotating slide show of pictures on the desktop, display the Background section of the Settings dialog box, select the check boxes for the pictures you want to include in the slide show, then choose a time in Change picture every. Changing Your Account Picture If your computer has a built-in web cam, you can use it to take a photo or video of yourself for your account picture. To do this, click on [Camera], compose yourself and click to take the photo. Drag the centre of the crop box to move it and drag the corners to adjust the size of the crop, then click on [Apply]. Watsonia Publishing Page 3

6 Chapter 3: Help and Support Setting Up Cortana Cortana displays as the Ask me anything bar by default; however, you can display Cortana as an icon or even as a hidden feature. Simply right-click on the Ask me anything bar, point to Cortana and select an option. Using Cortana If your device has a microphone you can access Cortana using voice commands. Simply click on the microphone icon to the right of Ask me anything in the taskbar and follow the prompts for set up. Once it is set up all you have to do is click on the microphone icon and speak to Cortana. Customising Cortana Press + to display Cortana and search the web and windows. Watsonia Publishing Page 4

7 Chapter 4: Working With Desktop Windows Starting Desktop Programs and Apps If an app or a desktop program is pinned to the Start menu or the taskbar, you can start the app or program by clicking on the tile or icon in the relevant location. Working With the File Explorer Ribbon You can hide the ribbon in File Explorer by double-clicking on the active tab. Using the File Explorer Ribbon Additional tabs known as Contextual tabs appear in specific circumstances. For example, if you click on This PC in the Navigation pane, the Computer tab will appear. This provides quick access to all of the tools you may need to modify and work with the drives on your computer. Using the File Tab You can close the File tab menu by pressing or clicking in the main window away from the menu. In most Microsoft Office programs, clicking on the FILE tab displays the Backstage view rather than a menu of options. Minimising and Maximising a Window You can maximise a window by double-clicking on the title bar of the window. Double-clicking again on the title bar of the window will restore it to its former size. Resizing a Window Using a Mouse When you drag a border of a window the other borders remain fixed. If you drag the border into the window the window will contract in size, whereas if you drag the border out from the window the window will increase in size. Moving a Window on the Desktop You can have several windows open on the desktop at any one time. By moving and also resizing windows, you can position the windows so that they sit side by side and you can see the data in both of them. Switching Between Open Programs It is easy to move between open programs and apps using the taskbar, but there s also an easy keyboard shortcut that you can use as well. Hold down and then press to display a strip of thumbnails showing all open programs. Press until the desired thumbnail is selected, then release. Watsonia Publishing Page 5

8 Snapping Windows A quick way to dock a window to either the left half or right half of the screen is to press + (to the left) or + (to the right). You can toggle between maximising and restoring a window by doubleclicking on the title bar of a window. Shaking Down Windows If you have multiple windows open, you may find that you need to shake the window repeatedly, both up and down and side to side, perhaps even a little vigorously, until all other windows are minimised. Working With Task View You can display Task View by pressing +. Once Task View is active you can return to the desktop by clicking anywhere on a blank part of the screen. Creating a New Virtual Desktop You can create a new virtual desktop using the keyboard shortcut + +. Scrolling in a Window The size of the slider indicates how much data is in the window. If the slider occupies most of the scroll bar then there is not much data. If the slider is small there is a large amount of data that can be displayed. Closing Desktop Programs You can press + to close the active window. Alternatively, you can right-click on a blank area of the title bar to display the shortcut menu, then select Close. If you use the correct closing techniques, you will always be prompted to save any data that is currently unsaved. Watsonia Publishing Page 6

9 Chapter 5: Working With Programs Viewing Installed Programs You can open the Control Panel by typing con into the taskbar Search box, then click on Control Panel in the search results. Watsonia Publishing Page 7

10 Chapter 6: Data Storage on Your Computer Opening File Explorer You can pin File Explorer to the Start menu so that you can open it by clicking on its tile. You can also pin specific folders to the Start menu by rightclicking on the folder in File Explorer and selecting Pin to Start. This enables you to open that folder directly rather than having to navigate to it. Viewing Storage Devices Using File Explorer Windows shows the total free space for each device and the amount used (by stored data) in a pie chart in the Properties dialog box. To display this dialog box, right-click on the device (such as the hard disk drive) and select Properties. Viewing Network Connections Depending on your computer and the network(s) you are attached to, it may take a few moments for Windows to display all the available network devices and connections. Watsonia Publishing Page 8

11 Chapter 7: Using Common Windows Apps Starting the Mail App If you don t have a Microsoft account, you can click on Sign up for a Microsoft account at the Add your Microsoft account prompt and complete the details as required. Adding Accounts to Mail Just as it is easy to add an account to your Mail app, it is also very easy to delete one as well. To delete an account, display the Settings pane, then click on Accounts, then click on the account to remove. Click on Delete account, then click on [Delete]. Working With Mail Messages You can modify your Mail settings by displaying the Settings pane of the Mail app, then clicking on Options. s that you create are automatically saved as drafts until you either send them or discard them. Starting and Navigating the Calendar App When you first open Calendar you may have to enter your Microsoft account details. Scheduling Meetings If you share your calendar with others, you can hide appointments by selecting Private. You can quickly add a simple event by clicking on the date to display the Subject box, type the desired subject and press. If you need to add additional details, click on the arrow and select Add details. Opening PDFs and XPS Files in the Reader App If you read many PDFs, pin the Reader app to the Start screen or taskbar by right-clicking on Reader in the Apps view and selecting Pin to Start or Pin to taskbar. If you re currently viewing a file in Reader and wish to open another one, right-click and click on Open another file. Using Reader You can find specific text in the document. To do this, right-click to display the App bar, click on Find, type the text and press. Click on Next or Previous to see other occurrences or click on Results to display a list of results. You can click on an individual result in the list to move to it in the document. Watsonia Publishing Page 9

12 Using the Maps App You can toggle whether or not traffic is displayed by clicking on Choose map view and clicking on Traffic. Roads with heavy traffic are shown in red, medium traffic in yellow and low traffic in green. This can help you to see where traffic is a problem and find faster, easier routes. Watsonia Publishing Page 10

13 Chapter 8: Working With Folders Navigating the Folder Hierarchy The down arrow to the left of the Address bar displays a list of folders that you have recently opened, and can also be used to navigate to folders that you work with frequently. Accessing Your Personal Folders The Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos folders (both on your PC and in OneDrive) are stored in the four default libraries with the same names. To see all Documents folders, for instance, click on Desktop under Favourites, double-click on Libraries, then double-click on Documents. Creating a New Folder Other methods that you can use to create a new folder include right-clicking on the folder in the Navigation pane and selecting New > Folder, clicking on New folder in the Quick Access toolbar and pressing keyboard shortcut + +. Copying a Folder When you copy a folder, anything within that folder, including subfolders and files, is also copied to the destination location. Moving a Folder When you move a folder, anything in it, including subfolders and files are also moved to the destination location. + is the keyboard shortcut for Copy. + is the keyboard shortcut for Paste. + is the keyboard shortcut for Cut. Renaming a Folder When naming folders and files you cannot include characters such as the forward slash (/), backslash (\), full stop (.) and colon (:). Allowable characters include the underscore (_) and the dash (-). You can place a folder name in edit mode by clicking on it and then clicking on it again. Deleting a Folder Windows can be set to Show recycle confirmation. If you want to save keystrokes, deselect this option by clicking on the arrow for Delete on the ribbon. If you want to delete a folder without sending it to the Recycle Bin, click on the arrow for Delete and select Permanently delete. Watsonia Publishing Page 11

14 Viewing the Hierarchy Path If you click on the tiny black down arrow to the left of the Address bar, you will see the Recent locations that you have visited. This provides a means to quickly move to a folder that you ve accessed recently. To move to the parent folder, click on Up To which is also to the left of the Address bar. Changing Folder Views You can change the view for all folders rather than just a specific folder. To do this, click on the View tab on the ribbon, select the desired Layout, click on the drop arrow for Options and select Change folder and search options, click on the View tab, and then click on [Apply to Folders]. Watsonia Publishing Page 12

15 Chapter 9: Working With Files Creating a Simple File The Save As command is a handy way of copying a file or saving the same file in a different location. Exploring Files in Windows In File Explorer, you can display a list of other programs that you can use to open a file by clicking on the drop arrow for Open on the Home tab. Copying a File If the desired location is not included on the Copy to list, select Choose location to open the Copy Items dialog box. From here you can navigate to the desired location or click on [Make New Folder] to make a new folder if needed. Renaming a File You can rename folders using the same techniques as renaming a file. You can also right-click on a file and select Rename from the shortcut menu to rename a file. Selecting Files Selecting files doesn t do anything to the file other than make it the focus of attention when activating commands. You will find that almost any task you want to perform on your files, folders and even data requires you to select it before you can take action. Copying Multiple Files When moving back and forth between folders it can sometimes get a bit confusing as to which folder you are currently in. Learn to look at the Address bar at the top of the File Explorer window to see which folder you are currently working in. Replacing Files If you are replacing several files, you can choose to replace all files in the destination, skip the files that are already in the destination, or decide for each file whether or not to replace it. Moving Files While using the drag method is usually sufficient, you ll find that you ll need to use Cut and Paste at times, especially when you are unable to view the folder that you want to drag the files into. Watsonia Publishing Page 13

16 Copying Files to a USB Flash Drive You can use drag and drop to copy files onto a USB flash drive. To do this, open the folder that contains the files you want to copy so they appear in the right pane. Select the files and hover over the selection. Hold down the left mouse button and drag over the USB flash drive, then release. Setting Files as Read Only The display hidden files in File Explorer, click on the View tab and tick Hidden items in the Show/hide group. Note that all hidden files on your computer will be unhidden. Deleting Files Files that you delete are not deleted permanently from the computer unless you specifically request them to be. They are moved into a folder called the Recycle Bin, where you can either delete them permanently or restore them to their original folders. Deleting Folders With Files You can delete selected folders and files by using the keyboard shortcut +. Watsonia Publishing Page 14

17 Chapter 10: Working With Libraries Displaying Libraries Documents under This PC is different to Documents under Libraries. As confusing as it seems, Documents (under This PC) is the personal folder that is stored in your Users folder, while Documents under Libraries is the library from which you can access your various Documents folders. Exploring Your Libraries You can rename existing libraries to make them more personally meaningful. To do this, click on the library in the right pane to select it, then click on the Home tab and click on Rename in the Organise group. Type the new name and press to complete the process. Creating Folders in a Library The first folder you add to a library becomes the default save location. This means that any files you save in your library will be saved into that folder. To change the default save location, click on the library, click on the Library Tools: Manage tab, click on Set save location, and select the desired folder. Creating a Library You can create a new library by right-clicking on Libraries, then selecting New > Library. Type a name and press. You can delete existing libraries that are not required. To do this, right-click on the library to be deleted and select Delete. Click on [Yes] if you re asked to confirm the deletion. Adding Folders to a Library You can add folders to a library via the Properties dialog box. To do this, click on the library, then click on Properties in the QAT to open the Properties dialog box. Click on [Add], then navigate to and select the desired folder. Click on [Include folder] and then click on [OK]. Changing Library Views Various columns appear in the library view. You can add more or include different columns by clicking on the View tab, clicking on Add columns and selecting them as required. Deleting Folders From a Library When you delete a folder from a library that is marked as the default save location, the next oldest folder will automatically become the default save location until you change the default save location in the library Properties. Watsonia Publishing Page 15

18 Deleting a Library If you wish to be extra careful when deleting folders, libraries and files from File Explorer, click on the Home tab, then click on the arrow for Delete and select Show recycle confirmation. Watsonia Publishing Page 16

19 Chapter 11: The Recycle Bin Creating Some Sample Files Notepad is a basic text-editing program used mainly to create, edit and view text files. Text files are recognisable by the.txt file extension. To format text, such as applying font styles and colours to text, use either WordPad or Microsoft Word. Sending Files to the Recycle Bin You can bypass the Recycle Bin altogether when deleting files. To do this, select the files, click on the Home tab, click on the drop arrow for Delete and select Permanently delete. You can also press +. If you use either of these methods, you cannot recover the deleted items. Restoring Files From the Recycle Bin Files and folders that you delete from a network drive are not moved to the Recycle Bin, but are deleted permanently. This is because the Recycle Bin is stored on your computer s local hard disk. Contact your systems administrator if you need to recover network files. Emptying the Recycle Bin If you are really sure that you don t want any files or folders in the Recycle Bin, you can right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and select Empty Recycle Bin to quickly empty it. Watsonia Publishing Page 17

20 Chapter 12: Quick Access Locations Adding a Location to Quick Access You can drag a location into Quick access from either the Navigation or right pane in File Explorer. Removing a Location From Favourites If you regularly access your Quick access shortcuts, consider pinning it to the Start menu. This way you can access it as soon as you ve started your computer. To do this, open File Explorer, right-click on Quick access and select Pin to Start. A tile called Quick access will be added to the menu. Watsonia Publishing Page 18

21 Chapter 13: Searching and Sorting Files Searching Using File Explorer Once you have found the desired file, you can open the folder that contains the selected file in the right pane. To do this, click on the file, click on the Search Tools: Search tab, then click on Open file location in the Options group. Searching File Contents Using File Explorer You can set the File contents option from the View tab (which is handy if the Search tab isn t available). To do this, click on the top half of the Options tool on the View tab to open the Folder Options dialog box. Click on the Search tab, then click on Always search file names and contents. Indexing a Folder You can select individual subfolders in an indexed folder that you want to be excluded from the index. To do this, open the Indexed Locations dialog box, expand the desired folder in the Change selected locations pane and then click in the boxes of the subfolders you wish to exclude. Unindexing a Folder You can index or unindex any folders on your computer via the Indexing Options control panel. To do this, click in the Search bar, type ind, then click on Indexing Options. Click on [Modify] to open the Indexed Locations dialog box and select the desired folder. Tagging Files for Easier Searches Some files allow you to search not only on tags, but other file properties, such as author and type. The type of file will determine what properties you can include. For example, you can add a genre for your music files, or you can add a rating to your photos. Sorting Files in a Folder You can filter each sort in File Explorer for a more specific search. Click on the arrow that appears when you point to a column heading to display a popup menu with a list of filtering options. Select one or more filters to sort on those filters, and deselect the filter/s to remove the filter/s. Modifying View Settings If you are trying to locate a system file and have been unsuccessful, it is possible that the system files are hidden. To view system files, click on the View tab in File Explorer and click on the top half of Options. Click on the View tab and uncheck Don t show hidden files, folders or drives.

22 Chapter 14: Printing Viewing Available Printers The Devices and Printers control panel displays all devices that are connected to your computer, either locally or on the network. Installing a USB Printer Most popular printers will install automatically as the printer drivers are already available in Windows. For older and less common printers, you may need to install the printer driver yourself from the disk provided with the printer, or by downloading the driver from the manufacturer s website. Setting the Default Printer If you use a laptop and find that you use different printers depending on your location, you can set default printers for each location. In the Devices and Printers control panel, select the default printer for your current location, and click on [Manage default printers]. Here you can select your location and the default printer to be used, and then click on [Add]. Pausing a Printer Pausing your printer can be especially useful if you have several users connected to the printer, or have several jobs in the queue and an urgent print job is required. You can pause the printer and then manage each print job so that the most urgent jobs are printed first. Printing Files From File Explorer Windows doesn t print multiple files in the order you selected or in the order they are listed in File Explorer. In fact, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to the print order Windows decides upon! You cannot send multiple file types to the printer at the same time. Managing the Print Queue You can use and selection techniques to manage multiple print jobs. To cancel all jobs, select Printer > Cancel All Documents and then click on [Yes]. Sharing Your Printer With Others You can only share a printer that is connected directly to your computer. For other users to connect to your shared printer, you (and the other users) must be on a network. Watsonia Publishing Page 20

23 Connecting to a Network Printer There are several reasons why the network printer you want to connect to might not appear in the available printers list, or why you cannot locate the printer on the network. Type why can t I connect to a network in the Search bar and click on Why can t I connect to a network? for further information. Printing From Windows Apps Many Windows apps do not support printing, including: Sport Money Weather Travel People Calendar OneDrive News Watsonia Publishing Page 21

24 Chapter 15: Microsoft Edge Launching Microsoft Edge You can still access Internet Explorer Version 11 by searching clicking in the taskbar Search bar and typing internet explorer, then clicking on Internet Explorer Desktop app under Best Match.

25 Chapter 16: User Accounts Creating a Microsoft Account When you sign in with a Microsoft account, your PC is connected to cloud storage online and your personal settings are synced to any Windows 10 computers you use, including your themes, browser favourites, and most apps. Creating a Local Account If you create a local account to sign into Windows, you can very easily create a Microsoft account at a later date if you need to download Windows apps from the Windows Store. Switching Users You can switch users by pressing + + to display a menu and select Switch user to display a screen showing the users and whether they re signed in. Click on the user and type the password to sign in. Changing Your Password If you are signed in using a local account, you can change your password using one of two methods. You can use the Settings window, or you can press + + and select Change a password to display the Change a password screen. Changing Your Account Name The More account settings online option isn t available in the Settings window for local accounts. These users can change their account name by opening the User Accounts control panel and clicking on Change your account name, but only if they know an administrator s password. Controlling User Accounts It is recommended that the UAC settings for standard users remain as the default setting unless the user is familiar with Windows and is an experienced computer user. Watsonia Publishing Page 23

26 Chapter 17: Security and Protection Checking Security and Maintenance You can open the Security and Maintenance control panel by clicking in the taskbar Search bar and typing security. Checking Windows Firewall Settings Windows Firewall allows you to view most websites and download programs. However, if Windows isn t sure about the security of a website or program, it will notify you before it blocks it and ask you whether you want to allow access or add it to the list of allowable programs. Checking Malware Protection Settings Spyware is malicious software generally designed to capture information about you such as your web browsing habits, messages, usernames and passwords, and credit card information. If left unchecked, the software can transmit this data to another person's computer over the internet. Checking Windows Update Settings You can check for updates via the Settings window. To do this, display the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Update & security. Watsonia Publishing Page 24

27 Chapter 18: Backing Up and Restoring Data Preparing Files for Backup It is recommended that you save all of your files in your personal libraries where possible. Windows will include libraries and their contents by default during the regular File History backups. Setting Up File History If you want to back up to a network location, open File History in the Control panel, click on Select drive, then click on Add network location. If no locations are listed, click on the Network discovery and file sharing info bar, then select the desired folder. Performing a Manual Backup You do not need to run a File History back up every time you update a file; however, it is recommended that you do so after updating or adding an important file. Restoring Files From a Backup If you want to restore your files to a different location, right-click on Restore to original location, select Restore to and then choose a new location. Watsonia Publishing Page 25

28 Chapter 19: The Command Line Interface The DIR Command DIR normally displays the files and folders in the current or specified folder only. Use the /S switch to display files and folders in the sub-folders. You can access the command prompt by clicking in the Search bar and typing Command Prompt. The CD Command If you type a command and following with /? the command will not perform instead a screen of information about the command will appear. You can type the commands using either uppercase or lowercase, such as CD or cd. Redirecting Output The CLS command used above will clear the screen of any existing output from previous commands. The TYPE command is used to display the contents of text files. The CHKDSK Command The CHKDSK command will only display the disk s status, and won t fix any errors. To instruct CHKDSK to fix the drive, type CHKDSK /f /r /x. The /f parameter will fix errors it finds, /r will locate bad sectors and recover readable data, and /x locks the drive. Watsonia Publishing Page 26

29 Chapter 20: Optimising Windows Viewing System Properties You can display the System window from the Control Panel. To do this, rightclick on the Windows icon in the taskbar, select Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click on System. Checking Hardware Devices Most new hardware devices that you plug into your computer will install themselves. Once installed they should appear in the Device Manager window. Tidying Up the Desktop Desktop icons are usually only shortcuts to other locations or files. They can be easily and readily deleted by right-clicking on them and selecting Delete. However, you should take care when doing this. A lot of novice users actually save their files to the Desktop. Performing a Disk Cleanup The Disk Cleanup window lets you empty the recycle bin. Choosing a Power Plan If you are using a laptop, you can display the Power Options in the Control panel by clicking on the battery icon to the right of the taskbar and selecting More power options. Creating a Custom Power Plan It doesn t matter if you don t get the settings right when you create a custom power plan. You can always return to the plan by clicking on Change plan settings. To delete a plan, ensure that another plan is selected, then click on Change plan settings and on Delete this plan. Watsonia Publishing Page 27
