Is there a thread/guide for beginner-to-intermediate folks, who have used Windows 7 up to now, on how to intelligently install Windows 10 for the 1st time? This would be on a new laptop.
I have looked at the Tools and Knowledge Base sub-forums and in the AskWoody Support/Windows/Windows 10 sub-forum, and kinda skimmed around in other spots of the forum, but I haven’t seen where there is a guide for a non-technical person to install Windows 10 for the first time, at this moment in time.
I know that I can read through Woody’s blog posts and ComputerWorld articles (as well as other experts’ article series that haven’t been afraid to dig into the nitty-gritty) from the past couple of years to get up to speed on Windows 10, to learn how it has evolved and the problems that have arisen and then been solved or worked around, and I intend to do that as time permits,
but I am wondering if there is a ready-made guide here on the site that I can use as my primary, but brief-ish, instruction manual, which flags up the most important settings to get right in the beginning, what to do offline, what to do online, in what order, etc.
Something that might take me 3 days of diligent work to follow from start to finish (rather than 3 weeks/3 months if I tried to get a handle on the twists and turns of the history of Windows 10)!
Or would Woody’s Windows 10 Dummies book be the best resource for that kind of advice — and would it be current enough to cover the specific vagaries of whatever is the current “home” version of Windows 10 that would be installed on a new, inexpensive machine in November 2017?
Thanks,
P.T.
