Resource: Windows 10 Productivity Guides

Windows 10 just passed its one year mark of availability and it is possible a window is opening up for your organization/company beginning to seriously consider a move to the OS in the near future.

Along with many aspects of that decision making process, user training is a very important element to consider and there are some good resources available from Microsoft for that purpose.

These guides from Microsoft are from 2015 but they do a very good job of exposing many elements of Windows 10 and how they impact productivity on the year old operating system. As you will see below, they also provide full overviews and show users how to use these features to their maximum benefit.

These could very easily become the basis for your own end user training.
