Welcome. We were all pre-school level at one point. If I told you the history of how I learned to use computers, it was by making every possible mistake. However, today, unlike when I started, there are some superb references for learning. If you're into art, may I suggest some of the visual aids/books.

Thank you so much. Where do I find these visual aid books?

I'm assuming you're using Windows? If so, check out the Visual Windows 10 or Windows series of books.  For example:

https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-VISUALLY-Windows-Tech/dp/1119057027

Choose carefully, as some of the other companies' visual series are as good or better and some are just really poor, inferior copies.

By the way, I also suggest you learn at least a little basic theory of how computers work. Many people are afraid of the theory, and avoid it. But most technicians will tell you that those people usually end up experiencing drastically more stress and expense in the long-run.

Hi @arty1  Welcome.

A little heads up.  Please refrain if possible from using the Quote All Box.  Left over from when the forum was built.  Also takes up room on the server and can become confusing.

As well the most important thing is when use it or use the Quote Button the Quote belongs to the person that said it.  Which means please do not type in a Quote Box that belongs to some one. :=} Thanks.

Please see your other topic and good luck.

Thank you so much for all your kind, warm welcomes and inputs everyone. Have a lovely weekend.
