One of the questions that people often ask me is, "How do I download a file?"
Today, we are going to answer that question for you.
The first thing you need to do, is find a file you want to download. For this tutorial, we are going to use a file on my website, it is a sample file with 25 common computer questions and answers.
You can head on over to my e-
See where the red arrow is pointing? That is where you would click to begin downloading your file. I have set up the picture above, so that you can click on the picture to begin your download as well.
Once you click on the words "Click Here", a file download window will appear that looks like this:
Since you chose the easy installation, the next thing you will have to click is the "Thanks" button and your program is installed.
Now take a look at your desktop, you will see two new icons there. One of them is the file that you downloaded in order to install your program.
