If you are unsure about how to use your laptop, just need a refresher on what to do or have just bought a Windows 10 laptop and find it baffling then this is the course for you.

To the face to face sessions, bring your own fully charged laptop with Windows 10 loaded, a notebook and pen. For the Zoom sessions, we suggest having Zoom open on a device which is NOT your Windows 10 machine (eg a tablet or smartphone)
