Computer Basics for Beginners: Get Started Now

In summary, for a beginner in computers, I would recommend starting with learning about computer systems architecture, understanding the operating system and what it does, familiarizing oneself with the use of a mouse, learning about software and how to install and run it. It would also be helpful to consult with the place of purchase or use the built-in tutorial for specific guidance.

personaly i believe he means just how to use a computer, which thus most computers have a sort of tutorial inside of them to show the general user the application of the computer, and if not, go back to the place where you purchased your computer and ask them about it, also be sure to know what type of computer yours is, in case they have specific software guided towards your computer
