Take a free online course in Windows 8 basics

November 14, 2012

Windows 8: kind of confusing, right? There's no Start button (unless you install a third-party replacement), no straightforward way to shut it down, no Windows Media Center (unless you download it separately). Perhaps worst of all, there's no instruction manual. So how exactly are you supposed to learn your way around the new OS? One option: Lynda.com, a site that's home to over 1,500 online training courses—including one just for Windows 8. Although you can get a free 7-day trial for the service, that's a hassle because you have to provide a credit card and cancel before billing kicks in. (Subscriptions start at $25 per month.)
