Mountain Retreat: Microsoft Windows 8 – Transition from Windows 7 – Judy Borsher, CPA (1MR008-13)

Description

In this session we will explore many of the features of Windows 8.
Microsoft is bridging the gap between your laptop or desktop PC, and a
variety of mobile devices. We have the ability to work anywhere, any
time, and from any device. How can an operating system designed to work
on mobile devices also function on a PC? How can you make a smooth
transition from one type of device to another? And, how compatible can
these different environments really be? We will explore the many
sharing, storing, and multi-platform benefits of the Windows 8 operating
system.
