Windows 11 Made Simple

A Windows 11 course from FTS Computer Repair

You're not bad with computers. Nobody ever showed you Windows 11.

A calm, step-by-step course that takes you from "I hope I don't break something" to "I know exactly where to find that." Plain English, at your own pace, on the computer you already own.

Does this sound familiar?

Nothing is where it used to be.

"Where did that setting go? It was right there before."

"Why does everything look different than my old computer?"

"What happens if I click the wrong thing?"

"I knew how to do this. Now I have to relearn it."

"I don't want to call my daughter every single time."

"I looked it up online and understood about half of it."

Here's the part nobody says out loud: none of that means you're bad with computers. Windows 11 moved things, renamed things, and hid things — and then handed you the machine with no instructions. You don't need to be technical. You need someone to walk you through it once, in words that make sense.

Picture this instead

Sitting down at your computer and simply knowing.

  • You open your computer and know exactly where to go — no hunting, no guessing.
  • You change a setting to make the text bigger, and you're not afraid you've broken something.
  • You save a photo on Monday and find it again on Friday, first try.
  • Something looks strange on the screen, and instead of panic, you think: I know what this is.
  • You go a whole month without calling anyone for help — because you didn't need to.

Introducing

Windows 11 Made Simple

A complete, beginner-friendly course that teaches you your computer in the order a person actually learns it — starting before you even press the power button.

It's built for the person who was handed a new computer and told "you'll figure it out." Nine short modules, in plain English, each one building on the last. No technical background needed. Nothing assumed.

It's $97, once — not a subscription, not a class you have to keep up with. You go at your own speed. Stop in the middle of a lesson, make a cup of coffee, come back tomorrow — it waits for you. And when you forget how to do something three months from now (everyone does), you come back and watch that one part again.

It is not a pile of tips. It's one organized path from "this is the cable that plugs in here" all the way to "I know how to keep this thing safe and running." By the end, your computer stops being a mystery and starts being a tool you own.

The 9 modules · in order

What you'll be able to do

Each module ends with something real you can do on your own computer.

Module 1

Getting to Know Your Computer

Meet the equipment and its connections — before ever turning it on.

✓After this you'll be able to: name every part of your setup and know what each port and cable is for, so plugging something in stops being a guess.

Module 2

The Words and the Clicks

Your foundation: the everyday words and the mouse skills the whole course relies on.

Module 3

Turning It On and Finding Your Way Around

Power on with no worry, then get comfortable moving around the screen.

✓After this you'll be able to: start up, sign in, and find your way around the desktop, Start menu and taskbar without hunting for anything.

Module 4

Your Files, Your Way

Understand where your “stuff” lives, keep it safe in the cloud, and enjoy your photos.

Module 5

Getting Online

Connect to the internet, browse the web, and save the sites you love.

✓After this you'll be able to: join your Wi-Fi, look things up, and keep your favorite websites one click away instead of retyping them.

Real safety without fear — plus updates, a safety net, and calm troubleshooting.

✓After this you'll be able to: recognize a scam before it gets you, keep Windows up to date, and know the first calm thing to do when something looks wrong.

Still growing

These nine modules are just the beginning.

What you see above is what's inside the course today. As Windows changes and technology keeps moving, new modules and lessons get added — and because your access is for life, everything added later is already yours at no extra cost.

So think of this as a sneak peek at a course that keeps growing. And if there's something you were hoping to learn that isn't covered yet, the feedback form at the end is how it gets added.

Why not just look it up?

You can. Here's what usually happens.

Searching Google

The answers are written for people who already know the words. And it's hard to search for something when you don't know what it's called.

Random YouTube videos

Good videos exist. But they're out of order, half of them are for an older Windows, and you're left stitching together a course by yourself.

Microsoft's help pages

Accurate and complete — and written for technicians. Three sentences in, you're reading about something you never asked about.

Asking family

They fix it in thirty seconds, too fast to follow. The problem is solved, but you didn't learn it — so next time, you call again.

The organized path

Windows 11 Made Simple

One path, in order, in plain English — built for exactly where you're starting. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed, and it's yours to come back to should you forget.

Those other resources aren't bad. They're just not a course. For $97 you get the organized version, built for you. This is the one organized path made for everyday people, not technicians.

Who's teaching you

Hi, I'm Jolene.

"I've spent years answering the exact questions you're probably asking right now."

I run FTS Computer Repair in Florence, Oregon, and I've been serving this community for more than 10 years. I have 25+ years of experience in technology and have been teaching for 10+ years.

But the part of this job I love has nothing to do with the technical side. It's helping someone go from uneasy to comfortable — taking the stress and the second-guessing out of sitting down at a computer, and replacing it with oh, I can do that.

Some of my favorite moments are when a customer who came in worried about breaking something leaves actually excited about what their computer can do for them. That's the whole job, as far as I'm concerned.

That's what this course is. Me, explaining Windows 11 the way I'd explain it if I were sitting right beside you — without the jargon, and without ever making you feel silly for asking.

The benefits of a course

All the benefits of a one-on-one session — in the comfort of your own home.

I've done a lot of one-on-one tutoring over the years, and I still do. But there are a few things a course does better than an hour in the shop.

Nothing is rushed

In a session, the clock is running. Here there isn't one. Stop in the middle of a step, make a cup of coffee, come back tomorrow. The lesson waits.

A little at a time

An hour of tutoring is a lot to take in at once. The course breaks it into short lessons, so you're only ever holding one idea at a time.

Forgot it? Go straight back

Taking notes is great — but a note can't show you the screen. If you can't remember it in March, open that lesson again and watch it happen.

The why, not just the where

I don't only point at a button. You learn what it does and why it sits where it does — so the next unfamiliar screen isn't a dead end.

Repetition builds muscle memory

Doing something once while I watch isn't the same as doing it five times yourself. Repeat any lesson as often as you like, until your hands just know it.

No extra charge, ever

More tutoring means booking and paying for another session. The course is one payment, and you can go through the whole thing as many times as you want.

None of this replaces sitting down together. If you're local to Florence and you'd rather learn in person, I still do one-on-one sessions — book at ftscomputerrepair.com. The course just means you don't have to book one every time you forget something.

Let's be honest

Is this course for you?

This is for you if…

  • ✓You just got a new computer and everything feels unfamiliar
  • ✓You moved up from Windows 10 and can't find anything
  • ✓You're tired of looking up every little thing
  • ✓Technology makes you a bit nervous and you'd like that to stop
  • ✓You want it explained without the jargon
  • ✓You'd like to stop asking your kids for help every time

This probably isn't for you if…

  • —You're already comfortable in Windows and just want advanced tricks
  • —You need help with one specific broken thing right now — that's a repair, not a course. Book an appointment at www.ftscomputerrepair.com instead.
  • —You're on a Mac or a Chromebook. This one is Windows 11 only.

Get started

One course. One payment. Yours to keep coming back to.

Before you decide

Questions people ask

Is this really for beginners?

Yes — and I mean truly from the beginning. I've worked with seniors who had never felt comfortable with technology, and with people of every age and skill level in between. So the course starts where most courses don't: Module 1 is the equipment and the cables, before the computer is ever switched on. Module 2 covers the words themselves — click, double-click, window, icon, file — so the language used in every lesson that follows already makes sense to you. Nothing is assumed, and nothing is skipped.

What if I'm terrible with computers?

Then you're exactly who this was made for. “Terrible with computers” almost always means “nobody ever explained it in a way that made sense.” You'll go one small step at a time, and you can repeat any step as often as you want.

Do I need to have Windows 11 already?

Yes — the course walks you through Windows 11 specifically, so you'll want a Windows 11 computer to follow along on. Not sure which version you have? You can check in a few clicks: open Settings, choose System, then scroll down to About — your Windows version is listed there.

Can I go at my own pace?

Completely. There's no schedule and no class time. Do one module a week, or one a day, or take a month off in the middle — it's waiting whenever you come back.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access. It's a one-time payment, and you get the updates for life — so when Windows changes something, your course changes with it.

Can I watch the lessons more than once?

As many times as you like. Most people do — that's the whole point of having it instead of asking someone. Come back in six months when you've forgotten how to do something, and it's still there.

What if my screen looks a little different from yours?

That's normal. Windows updates change small things, and manufacturers set things up slightly differently. The course teaches you where to look and why, so you can find it even when a button has moved or been renamed.

Do I have to buy any other software?

No. Everything covered uses what already comes with Windows 11.

What happens right after I buy?

You'll receive an email with a link to create your account. Once your payment is confirmed, access is granted within 24 hours — then you simply sign in and start with Module 1.

What if it isn't right for me?

Because this is a digital product, there are no refunds once access has been granted. So have a good look at the nine modules above before you buy — and if you're unsure whether it's right for you, email me at info@ftscomputerrepair.com and I'll tell you straight.

Can I get help if I get stuck?

Yes. The course is built so you can work through it on your own, but you're not on your own. If you'd like more hands-on help, one-on-one support and in-store tutoring are available if you're local to Florence, Oregon — book an appointment at www.ftscomputerrepair.com. If you're outside the area, email me at info@ftscomputerrepair.com or text (541) 590-2474 for phone support.

Your computer should make your life easier — not make you afraid to click something.

You don't need to become a computer expert. You don't need to learn everything. You just need to feel comfortable using the computer that's already sitting on your desk.

That's a few evenings of easy lessons away — $97, one time, and it's yours from then on.
