    Simple Windows 8 Tutorials

    Hi Windows 8 Forum Users,

    First let me say I am still somewhat new to Windows but I can now use the operating system fairly easy now. I have been using computers since basically I was a little kid but switching to Windows 8 was like a nightmare I couldn't find anything.

    Do you need help using Windows 8? If you do I have started making tutorials with very basics first and I will teach you as I learn new things in Windows 8. Below I will post an example video and if you like it I will keep making tutorials to help those who are frustrated with Windows 8. If you need a tutorial just let me know.

    Another Simple Windows 8 Tutorial. I think this tutorial will be really helpful as it was super confusing on how to close metro interface applications.

    Nice. I like the way you recorded those. What screenrecorder do you use.

    My screen recorder is not quite as fancy. Here is one very early example of my Windows 8 tutorials.

    I used Camtasia it cost about $300 USD so it's going to be a lot more fancier.

    Hey Allen, how about some tutorials other than the basic stuff. The more in depth inner workings of windows 8.

    Re: Simple Windows 8 Tutorials

    I'm open to doing some more in-depth tutorials but I wanted to started with the simple stuff so that beginners can eventually learn the harder stuff as I make newer tutorials. What type tutorials would you like to see?.... in other words when you say inner workings what areas would you want me to focus on?

    Re: Simple Windows 8 Tutorials

    Allen, I think you are doing it right. There are enough people out there that will buy new PCs with Windows 8 and they will be pretty much discombobulated. So you have to ease them in.

    But I am still wondering what you use for a screen recorder. It looks pretty sophisticated.
