What you will learn

Confidently control Windows 10

Description

This is the proven system for attacking the biggest problems you are experiencing with Windows 10 right now.

This course isn't for everyone.

If you're looking for a comprehensive reference that addresses every Windows 10 issue under the sun then your time and money would be better used elsewhere; there are numerous reference books online that are quite good.

This course is for people over 50 years old who want to get going with Windows 10 fast without fumbling around relearning the basics or dealing with tools and features they would never use anyway.

This course doesn't waste any time and almost immediately jumps into walking you through the transition from older versions of Windows to Windows 10. After watching the first few videos you'll already feel more comfortable with Windows 10 (especially if you've never seen it before).

After a week of going through the content you'll become a more agile and confident Windows 10 user. 

After three months you'll be helping others and a year after completing this material, you'll be a completely different person; deftly clicking open Windows and unabashedly taking on the newest update Microsoft forces on you.


You see, this course isn't just about Windows 10 - it's about creating a transformation in your life.

This of this course as in investment in yourself.

An investment in the change you're about to bring into your life and an investment in the lives of your friends and family as you make a positive impact in their lives.

There are certainly other Windows 10 courses online and many are free. If you're just looking for a simple answer to a few questions then those courses might suit you.

But if you're serious about understanding Windows 10 and rooting out the pain then this course is for you.  

I simply haven't found another system that's:

  1. Custom tailored to the unique challenges of Seniors
  2.  And is made for Seniors who have prior experience with Windows and simply want Windows 10 to work in a natural and intuitive fashion.

Instead of wasting your time on Google, Youtube and other sources, make an investment in yourself today and become a proficient Windows 10 user today. I promise you won't regret it.

I am having a problem understanding some of the terms. I had no problem with windows 7, however, I am having great difficulty simply creating a Group distribution list and attaching it to a email. I am having a problem with the Read Only when I need to be able to do more than read.

Not as basic as I hoped, but that's my fault, no the instructors. It was obvious that Vonnie put a great deal of time and effort into making this course. Even as confused and overwhelmed as I was from time to time, I came away with something valuable from each lesson. Many thanks!

This class is actually very good HOWEVER it is not for Seniors. I was looking for ways to help my mother (in her 80s) understand Windows 10. The information provided is much better suited to someone who is transitioning to Windows 10 but is an experienced user. As an aside, the instructor is very personable and is providing valuable information.

There're too much introductions and background history videos, which does not add relevant information to the subject (it's nice to know this if you are interested in these kind of things, but a bit a waste of time in my book). Over all thoughts - good instructor, positive vibes, course is for beginners to intermediate level users. It's WAY better than another course i was asked to go through from work here in Udemy.

So far so good! While I am already using Windows 10 and not upgrading, I am sure I will benefit from many of the lessons. I am tired of fumbling around in Windows 10 and looking to manipulate the platform using all the bells and whistles while maintaining a smooth efficient operating system. Thanks.

Excellent speaking style. I can think of other ways to present the information, but it wouldn't be as entertaining.

Vonnie has a laid back, no hassle personality. I like the way he explains things with no pressure. I get the impression I could ask him a question and he would get back with me on it without making me feel stupid.

It was a great course. but I was looking after the end for notes from the whole course. I will be going through the course section thru section

There is a lot of information passed on. Some of it is too complex and some of it is just right for a 74 year old. I will print the lesson content for future reference. Thank you Vonnie.

This is a great course and a very detailed explanation and visual for the changes and differences between the previous systems and Windows 10.

I've been using Windows since 3.0 and DOS 5.0 to the Win 10 system of today. Didn't expect much new material as I've been using it since the 8.1 free upgrade. Vonnie did a great job with his first course, and I've learned a bit more about features that I rarely used. This is my first online course as well, so I can't comment about other sites or course comparisons. Looking forward to what might be ahead.

Initial videos were too long. Started to get good about lesson 6 or 7. Very personable instructor. Very much appreciated videos on privacy and security.

Lecture style not my favorite. Did learn a couple of new things but I'm binge watching so I'm judging somewhat on my attention being held. Hope content gets a little deeper.

Vonnie offers a comprehensive introduction to the course and its objectives. He understands many of the issues relating to using Windows 10. His style is relaxed, clear and easy to understand.
