Do Any of These Sound Like You?

Does turning on your computer running Windows 10 cause you fear, distress or anxiety? Are you at least somewhat familiar / comfortable with Windows 10, but know there’s more to learn? Or are you someone still running an earlier version of Windows due to not knowing how different Windows 10 is from your current version and user experience?

Mystic Access is here to help. Let’s start with the basics, take a deep dive into the primary concepts and features you’ll discover in Windows 10, and, I have to say it, shatter all those misconceptions you may have about this version of the Windows platform. We don’t want you to feel intimidation or uncertainty when using your computer, so we’re excited to provide you with comprehensive audio documentation to walk you step by step through its functionality.
