It can be like learning a whole new language. People that have the ability to jump in and start using technology without a ton of guidance, are finding that may not be the case with Win 8.

Windows 8 caused me such exasperation that I broke down and bought an e-book, and walked through it while sitting in front of the computer. Here are some resources that can help guide your way, if needed. They range from beginner to more advanced topics, with the e-book being the most in-depth.

If you still don't have all the information you need, or you're a more visual learner, try the following paid video training options.

Let's just hope that after we've all mastered Windows 8, their updated Windows 8.1 won't require going back to the drawing board.
