So does anyone have any tips -- basic or otherwise -- on dealing with Windows 10? Haven't used a Windows OS since XP, and I'm feeling culture shock. I think part of it is that after a year of using a Chromebook I'm no longer used to working with a desktop (Chromebooks don't actually have one, except as a wallpaper) but a lot of the new features are just hard to get used to. Now that I'm not baked I'm learning it better, but it's still weird.
So is Windows 10 actually a good OS that I just have to get used to, or a new level of Windows unintuitiveness?
The Chromebook has its issues, especially when using it for anything but bare bones surfing, but it's just so simple that a monkey could do it. I honestly think it's an attempt to appeal to the elderly: no worry about viruses, simple interface, uncomplicated features, easy to get started/fix when you need to wipe the system, etc (Which I imagine are the scariest aspects of computer usage for a generation who treats computers with distrust and fear.)
I actually think I'm going to keep using my Chromebook for general web surfing, and mainly use this for class **** and just to make sure I become familiar with the system... cause that's one of the things I'll need to have down for that class ****, obviously.
P.S. I also have the office/student version -- for classes -- which I haven't installed yet due to laziness, highness, and a desire to learn how to work the basic OS before moving on to something new. Is Office a pain in the ass for a n00b?
