Ready to get your feet wet, but not yet up to a full plunge?

Good. You’re in the right place for a dip-your-toes-in kind of experience. Nothing tough in this chapter, just a bit of windows cruising. Lay of the land kind of stuff.

If you’re an experienced Windows 7 user, you’ll find parts of Windows 11 that look a bit familiar and parts that look like they were ripped from a Mac or an iPhone. If you’re a Windows 10 user, you’ll feel right at home, but will enjoy a more cohesive user experience.

Anyway, you surely know that to get around Windows you need to click or tap stuff, just like you do on your smartphone. Navigating the Windows 11 desktop is not difficult, but in this chapter I give you a quick tour. Also, I discuss how Microsoft approaches touchscreens in this version of Windows. It's a bit different and better than in Windows 10.

But what about turning Windows 11 on and off again? That question is a popular meme with people who do tech support for their friends and co-workers. Well, I show you how to do that, too, as well as how to take a screen shot when, for example, an error pops up on the screen.

Finally, I show you a few useful keyboard shortcuts, alongside the classic Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V that many know. Using shortcuts will make you more productive and help you find your way around Windows 11 more quickly.
