You would have to provide us the model number of the PC for us to search for a manual for it.

Hi Lizzy,

You can find it here on HP's Support Home Page:

@lizzy222,

I am re-posting this, but with full comment. In my haste to answer you, I got reminded by HP of the policies, later.

My original message to you was not meant to imply any disrespect. We have some new members who might not understand English, or its translation.

There are books that explain the new WIN 10 features and can guide you to understand the features. There is a publishing company that made a fortune with books for the novice, but the titles are a " tongue-in-cheek figure of speech is used to imply that a statement or other production is humorously or otherwise not seriously intended, and it should not be taken at face value". IMHO, not appropriate, but the titles are a marketing ploy.

Here is a link for that book. It is also available at most book stores.

Thank you for your reply appreciate you taking time I did think it was a bit abrupt but as I suffer with anxiety thought it was just me over reacting and Iv been on the front line working for the NHS so again thought it was just me I have seen these books so did understand what you were recommending, I Just know basic on computers and would like to know more so was going to find out some more things about them but absolutely no worries about it and thank you for apology

@lizzy222,

First of all, thank you for being a "front line worker". I once bought an official MS book on WIN 7. It was really "stuffy", and above my understanding (at that time). When I bought the other style of book (you know what I mean), the lessons became clear. Hope you stay safe, and enjoy the book(s).

If you want an easy way to cope, look at "Classic Shell". Keep it in the download folder. I have noticed only 1 problem. After a major WIN upgrade, it gets broken. So just re-install. Simple fix.
