Want to learn all about computers

paradiddler86

Hi guys i need some help.
I'm wondering can anyone recommend a good, free, step by step online course for learning ALL about computers.

My current knowledge of computers doesn't stretch much further than pressing the power button and logging onto facebook. But i'm willing and determined to learn as much as possible!

I want to learn as much as possible starting from the ground up but really need an in depth STEP BY STEP guide to help me.
I what to learn the lingo and what all the terms mean and do like RAM, ROM, drivers and words like malware and firmware and stuff like that. Too things like hardware and programming.

I am really determined to learn anything and everything i can and really do appreciate any help you give, thanks in advance ;-)

Youtube is always a good resource for learning like this. I have no specific links for you but I am sure there are many beginner videos up there.

Go to Youtube and search for Professor Messer - he provides a whole series of videos relating to the CompTIA A+ certificate. While you're watching those visit his website at www.professormesser.com. All free and easy to follow.
