Before delving into the world of advanced computer uses, you should build a solid foundation of basic knowledge that allows you to understand computers in depth. For some people, this means going back and reviewing things that you probably should have committed to memory years ago. For others, it could mean taking the first step into an exciting world of technology.
Understand Your Operating System
More often than not, people who complain about their operating systems simply do not know how to use them properly. Operating systems made by Windows and Apple are pretty intuitive, but there are lots of tricks that serious computer users should know. You don’t have to sit down and thumb through a 1000-page user’s manual to get a better understanding of your preferred operating system. Instead, search for online tutorials that will show you some of the most useful tricks and tips.
Learn How Your Computer Stores Information
Your computer stores information in files. That seems pretty simple to understand because it’s essentially the same thing as keeping files in a cabinet. When your computer organizes these files, though, it gives each one a unique name. Each operating system creates names a little differently from the others. Play around with your OS and you’ll quickly learn how it stores information and names files. This will allow you to track down files when they go missing and keep your computer better organized when installing new software.
Learn About Drivers
Every computer uses drivers to operate its hardware. Each time you install a new piece of hardware, you also have to install drivers. Unfortunately, some times these drivers fail. Look up the drivers that your hardware uses so that you are familiar with them. Some software might also use drivers to help them use hardware in certain ways. Familiarize yourself with these as well to learn about the limitations and advantages of certain programs.
