Features of Windows 10

                 Windows 10 is the most popular version of the Windows operating system from Microsoft.
                 It has several features.
                 •  Windows 10 has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which means you do not have to

                    memorise all the commands.
                 •  As it is a GUI, most of the work is done with the click of a mouse.

                 •  It allows you to run several programs at the same time.
                 •  It is very easy to learn and understand.

                 Starting Windows 10

                 When you switch on the  computer,
                 the operating system stored on your
                 computer  starts  loading  itself into its
                 main memory.  After  a few  seconds, a
                 Welcome Screen appears with time and

                 date.
                 You can click anywhere on the screen to
                 go to the User Accounts Screen. Once you
                 choose the user and enter a password, if
                 any, Windows 10 Desktop appears.
