this course has a lot of great tips on navigating around Windows 8 & 8.1 and how to access all the programs (e.g. control panel) that I was used to in older versions of Windows. I'm looking forward to the Windows 10 course.

Just got a laptop with 8.1. Never had a computer with 8.0 or 8.1. Now with this class I can use 8.0 or 8.1 with no problems.
