Signing in to Windows 10
You'll probably be asked to create
a Microsoft account the very time
you use Windows 10 (if you don't
have one already). From this point
on, whenever you turn on the
computer you'll need to sign in to
that account. To do this, type your
password into the box and press
Enter.
Navigating the desktop

Once you've signed in, the first thing you'll see is the desktop. You can think of the desktop as the main
workspace for your computer.
From here, you can view and
manage your files, open
applications, access the Internet,
and much more.
Recycle Bin - When you

delete a file, it is moved to the
Recycle Bin. This allows you to
recover the file if you change
your mind. To permanently
delete the file, you will need
to empty the Recycle Bin.
Start Button - In most

versions of Windows, you'll
click the Start button to open
the Start menu. The main
exception to this is Windows
8. If you're using Windows 8,
you'll click the Start button to return to the Start screen.
Taskbar - The taskbar contains shortcuts to applications, the date and time, and more. When you open a
program or file, it will appear on the taskbar, and you can easily switch between different programs by
selecting them on the taskbar.
Desktop - the workspace that holds icons and the taskbar
Notification Area - This is on the right side of the taskbar. It contains icons that provides the: Current date
and time, Network connectivity, Sound status, and Computer updates.
Search Box - usually found at the bottom of the screen, located next to the Start. In the Windows search
box, type the program or file name you want to access.
Opening applications
You'll use the Start menu to open programs on your computer, just like with previous versions of Windows. To
do this, click the Start button
in the bottom-left corner,
then choose the desired
application. If you don't see
the one you want, you can
scroll to see a full list of
applications. In the example
below, we're opening
OneNote.
Working with files

You'll use the File Explorer to
manage your files and folders.
To open File Explorer, click the
File Explorer icon on the
taskbar or double-click any
folder on your desktop.
Searching for files and apps

To search for something on your computer—like a specific file or application—
click the Search Box, then start typing. In the example, we're searching for a
Microsoft Word document.
Shutting down your computer
When you're done using your computer, it's important to shut it down properly. To do this, click the Start
button, then choose Power > Shut Down.
