The Windows 11 beginners course was useful there were several features of Windows 11 that weren't addressed. This left me needing to look up additional information on my own. The content that was included was well-explained and easy to follow, but a more comprehensive coverage would have made this course much better. It's a good start for beginners, but be prepared to do some extra research. I look forward to more lectures to be added in the future.
