Getting Some Help With Windows 8

If you've purchased a new computer or laptop lately, or intend to buy one in the near future, you're going to end up with the latest version of Windows, Windows 8.

Since it's summer (except for those taking summer courses), there is no better time to refresh or learn new skills for the operating system than now! Courtesy of MakeUseOf (a fantastic site for reviews on new technologies, products, and just overall 'geek-i-ness'), there are 'cheats' you can download to your computer to better operate the system.

The 'cheats' are for both keyboard shortcuts and touch and mouse gestures (so both preferences are fulfilled), but the best way to get the full gamete is to go the site and download the cheats to your personal computer; instead of having to memorize them all, they are easily accessible at your disposal whenever stumped.

For those of us who have yet to use Windows 8, we can note this information for when the inevitable does happen and we will have an easier transition. In the meantime if you've got an older edition of Windows, there are cheats for them as well!

MakeUseOf also has 'cheat' codes for smartphones, iPads,  Wikipedia, Outlook, and so many other websites and tools we all use on a nearly daily basis! To get the full experience, please visit the MakeUseOf Cheat Sheets page and download the appropriate ones!

Happy Monday Everyone!
