Testimonials
Daniel T.
Good overview of Windows 10 with many examples of features I hadn’t known before. The integration with Active Directory, setting up AD DS, and managing organizational units helped me better understand Windows 10 in domain environments. Thanks, Prof K, for making concepts like directory services, domain controllers, and network security clearer—even for high performance workstations.
Seth C.
It is a pretty good course, however I am a little cautious about downloading all the software/applications at the beginning. I do recommend this course 5/5 if anyone wants to learn more about their PC, or if they want to try and be a professional IT worker.
Kashif M.
The course is good for level 1 support of Windows 10 and shows you how to build a Windows Server domain/client environment. However, the course is lacking in covering advanced aspects of Windows 10.
