    I was lost when I bought a new computer with Windows 8 installed. It was suggested by a computer tech to buy a "hands on learning tool". I found Professor teaches Windows 8 at Best Buy and bought it. I was amazed at what I learned from this program. When I have a question or need to refresh myself on a subject, I listen to the appropriate lesson and complete the hands on. I bought a book but it is so far above my head I took it back. This was an excellent purchase for me.

    If you are thinking about upgrading to Windows 8, this is a good learning tool, at a reasonable price, before spending $100 or $200 to upgrade your operating system.

    Didn't know a thing about windows 8. Then I watched this. Answered many questions I had. Since I had been so use to 7 and bought a new laptop. Everything is going to 8, so I figured I had better learn it.

    This has helped me navigate Windows 8 which, at times, has me baffled. Windows 8 is not the easiest nor is it as user friendly has I had hoped. This CD will help navigate you to help understand Windows 8. It does it in a clear and concise manner. Worth the purchase.
