When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Module details

As you have discovered, files are everywhere on a Microsoft® Windows® 11 computer. There are files that you have created while working in apps and also files that are required for the apps to run. When it comes to accessing files, you have access to files stored on your computer as well as files stored in other locations, such as OneDrive®. All these files are organized into folders to help you keep track of them. Having files in manageable locations enables you to keep them secure. In this lesson, you will manage the files and folders on your Windows 11 computer.

People and organizations are storing important information on, and running software from, third-party servers with growing frequency. All of this means you need to know how to protect yourself in an increasingly interconnected world. In this lesson, you will learn about Windows® security features.
