Question

What if the type of file I'd like to create is not among the options?

Community Answer

If you know the file extension (like .txt for a plain text file, or .docx for a Microsoft Word Document) you can create a new Plain Text File and rename it. You can also just use the program you will use to edit the file to make the file.

Question

How does a beginner use Windows 10?

Community Answer

If you've used previous versions of Windows, it isn't too different or hard to learn. If you haven't, it's still pretty self-explanatory and user-friendly.
