Start Button On Computer? Where is the Start Menu?

When I started to help some friends and family with their computer skills one of the first questions they asked was, “What is a start button?”

 

That is when I realized I need to slow down, because some of the computer stuff maybe second nature to me!  It hardly is the case with the person I was speaking to.

 

The Start Button and the Start Menu are something you will be using on a regular basis when using your computer.

 

Today’s How-To Guide for the Computer beginning is: What is the start button?  Where is the Start Menu?
