Course Description
But take a deep breath and relax! Whether you're considering an upgrade to Windows 7, have already upgraded, or got "stuck" with it on a new computer that you've bought recently, you'll be pleased to know that Windows 7 just might arguably be the best operating system that Microsoft has yet to create. While Windows ME is considered a big mistake by a lot of people, Windows 7 is being hailed as the best yet.
Over the duration of this course, we're going to cover all the features of Windows 7. It's our goal to make the new features familiar to you. However, it's also our goal to teach you to use Windows 7 in the way it was intended so you can enjoy its benefits and reap the rewards from this modern, insightful operating system.
You'll learn to:
- Quickly and easily navigate the desktop
- Take advantage of new shortcuts and features
- Use libraries to organize all your files like never before
- Keep your system safe and secure from spyware and viruses
- Set parental controls
- Use Windows Media Player to watch TV
- Easily view all open windows at once using the taskbar
- And much, much more!
By the time you finish this course, you'll know Windows 7 even better than you knew your previous operating system. What's more, you'll love it so much that'll wonder why Microsoft didn't think of creating something easy, yet user friendly, before.

Student Testimonials
- "I really enjoyed this class and the instructor put this class together beautifully. It was so easy to learn because it was broken down in parts not all in one lesson. I was hoping to have my new computer already but it will be a few more weeks. I can't wait!!" -- Carol Ann L.
- "What was most helpful were the video tutorials and screen shots." -- Devi P.
- "While I was already very computer-savvy prior to taking this course (I have an undergrad B.S. degree in IT), I still learned quite a few pointers and tricks about Windows 7 from the lessons. Thank you!" -- Adam M.
- "All the little tips and tricks associated with Windows 7 were helpful" -- Karen D.
- "The information was very helpful because it relates to what I am using." -- Ngesi G.
- "The instructor was great and he answered my questions. Every bit of information gave me the experience I need to clean up this computer." -- Darlene D.
- "The tests were most helpful. I've taken other courses that had no testing and I could not access the effectiveness of the course or my retention. Testing is essential. ...You were timely with the feedback." -- Lester P.
