Windows is, generally speaking, the default operating system used in a business setting. The same isn’t necessarily true amongst personal use… and with more organizations branching out and using Chromebooks and Macs, general familiarity with Windows is less and less of a given amongst younger users who your company may employ.

Understanding various tools, however, is advantageous—especially if there’s disparity between what one uses at home and what is standard at work. Let’s explore how Windows' different drives work and how to use them effectively.

Last month, we touched on how Windows isn’t necessarily the standard in the home as in the modern office… and therefore, how many users may not necessarily be as familiar with the operating system as some might hope. In light of how vital familiarity with Windows is in the modern workplace, we wanted to share how Windows 11 works.

To continue this exploration, we wanted to take a closer look at the Start menu, which can be found on the toolbar.

We understand that Windows, while standard in most businesses, isn’t always the operating system of choice for personal users. With many schools supplying Chromebooks and Macs to students, the number of young users unfamiliar with Windows will likely rise as time passes.

Regardless of your preference regarding personal devices, becoming as familiar as possible with what is available in your professional life is always best. It also never hurts to review these things, even if you’ve used Windows before. A lot has changed, and you may learn something new!

So, if you’re an Apple user and find yourself using Windows in the workplace, consider this your guided tour of how to use Microsoft’s longstanding operating system.
