I’m new to Windows and have some basic problems?

Same here. Yeah, that search trick is a lifesaver. Also, don't be shy about right-clicking on things—it often shows you the most useful options for whatever you're working on.

Agreed, and one more quick tip: if a setting feels buried, try typing a keyword into the Start menu search—it often pulls up the exact control panel page you need. Let me know if that works.

Sure, what's the first specific task you're trying to do?

This. Yeah, absolutely. And don't worry, we all started somewhere—feel free to ask about anything, even if it seems simple. Let me know if that works.

This happened to me when I first switched over. The file explorer felt totally overwhelming at first.

This. I had the same problem with settings being confusing. It gets much easier once you find the search bar in the start menu.

Agreed, and a quick tip: right-clicking on files or folders usually gives you the most common actions you'll need.
