Change can be tough, but change keeps us moving forward. Across the Shoreline campus, faculty, staff, and students will start to see Windows 8.1 replacing older versions of Windows. For those of you who are hesitant about learning this new system, I understand because I was hesitant too. Take a deep breath, set aside time for a couple of tutorials, and soon enough, you won't even miss Windows 7.
Here are some links to help you familiarize yourself Windows 8.1:
How to Enable Boot to Desktop in Windows 8.1 - This trick will certainly take the edge off of learning Windows 8 by providing a little comfort in familiarity.
Become familiar with the new Start Menu - The new Start Menu is intended to make your life easier, but that's only true if you take the time to set it up. Learn to Pin Apps and Applications to the Start Menu.
Don't get confused by the Apps - "Apps" are a new concept that do not act like "Applications." Trust me, it pays to understand how they work whether you intend to use them or not. For one thing, there is an App and an Application for Internet Explorer and you might find yourself lost in the unfamiliar App.
