Windows 10 For Seniors For Dummies. Weverka Peter

СКАЧАТЬ computer, you must create a user account, even if no one else will use the machine. See Chapter 4 for details on creating and changing user accounts.

      11. If you have an Internet connection, you see the Sign In to Your PC screen. (If you don't have an Internet connection, skip this step.) If you see the Sign in Without a Microsoft Account option, select it. You see a screen summarizing the differences between a Microsoft account and a local account. Select the Local Account button. (You use a Microsoft account in Chapter 4.)

      12. In the User Name box, type a short and simple name. Your user name appears throughout the system, from the login screen to the Start screen to the location containing all your documents. Use a simple, clear name. Your first name is just fine.

      13. In the Password box, type a password. A password is an optional security measure. If you enter a password when you create your user account, that password is required each time you start the computer. If someone other than you tries to start your computer, he or she will have to know (or guess) the password to get into your files. (Don’t put your password on a note stuck to the computer or nearby.)

      

For home computers, passwords may be unnecessary unless you need to keep someone else in the house out of your business. Laptop users should always create a password, however, because it is easy to lose a laptop – don’t make it easy for a thief to use your computer.

      14. In the Reenter Password box, type the same password again.

      15. In the Password Hint box, type a hint to remind yourself – and no one else – what your password is. Do not type the password itself here, or a hint such as my first name.

      

I use my phone number as the hint. That way, if my computer is lost, someone might see my phone number and contact me. (I'm an optimist.)

      16. Select the Finish button. The screen may briefly display Finalizing your settings. An animation demonstrates that you can move your mouse to any corner or, if you have a touchscreen, swipe from any edge. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The color of the screen and the text onscreen change a few times to keep you mesmerized as setup finishes. Your PC will be ready in just a moment. Prepare to be awed. Behold, the Windows 10 desktop screen, shown in Figure 1-9. (Your screen may look different from the one in this figure and those throughout the book.)

      FIGURE 1-9

Check Out the Start Screen

      1. Start your computer – if it isn't started already – and sign in to your user account. You'll see the Windows desktop screen.

      2. Open the Start screen, as shown in Figure 1-10. Use one of these methods to open the Start screen:

      • Mouse: Click the Start button (you’ll find it in the lower-left corner of the screen).

      • Touchscreen: Tap the Start button.

      • Keyboard: Press the

key.

      3. Examine the Start screen and note the colorful rectangular icons called tiles. These tiles represent available apps (short for application programs, an older term for programs or software). By clicking or tapping an app tile, you can open an app. After you start to use the app tiles, they may display changing information, such as the current weather. (See Chapter 2 for information on using individual apps.)

      4. Scroll down the names of apps on the left side of the Start screen. You see an alphabetical list of all the apps that are installed on your computer. By clicking or tapping an app in this list, you can open an app. Scroll on the Start screen when you want to open an application but can’t find its tile.

      

Under “Most Used,” the Start screen lists apps you recently opened. You can click or tap an app name on the Most Used list to open an app.

      

While the Start screen is open, you can type the name of an app to open it. For example, to open the Weather app, type weather. A panel opens with the names of apps that include the word weather (you also see apps from the Microsoft store and web pages with the word weather). Select the Weather app listing in the panel to open the Weather app.

      5. Scroll through the alphabetical apps list to Windows Administrative Tools, and then click or tap the down-arrow to the right of the name Windows Administrative Tools. As shown in Figure 1-11, a list of apps appears under the Windows Administrative Tools heading.
