A small graphic that represents a file, folder, or program. Double-click an icon to open it.

Your portal to the internet. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are some of the most popular.

For getting physical copies of documents and photos. All-in-one models can Scan and Copy too.

A small video camera, handy for video calls and conferences. Some have IR for Windows Hello.

Useful for calls, voice commands, recording, etc. Laptop mics can be pretty hit or miss.

In File Explorer, right-click any folder and select “Pin to Quick access” for easy access later. I keep my most used folders there.

Right-click the taskbar and select “Show Task View button” to enable multiple virtual desktops. Great for organizing projects!

A handy utility for capturing screenshots. Way easier than the old Print Screen dance.
