I want to learn more about computers so I'm wondering what books I should buy or classes I should buy to learn more!! I'm wanting to basically learn how to fix problems that may arise on computers to fix them!! I would also just like to learn more basic things about computers. I learned how to build computers and how to put the hardware side together but I've never been good at i guess the software side of things and being able to do a lot of tasks on the computer besides the basics !! So yeah what could you recommend to help me learn more about fixing problems that may arise on your computer?? I greatly appreciate any advice!!!!! Oh quick side note I've also wanted to get into a intro programing class or book to learn about it and see if i like it so a great starter program to try would be awesome also thanks so much!!!! Sorry last also hope this is okay maybe this isn't the best place to ask for this kind of advice lol so if there is a better place to ask these questions let me know lol im such a mess this morning on little sleep!!!

    I really only recommend free things at the start until you know that you really want to continue.

    Either way, free things like this exact place where you posted your question will allow you to learn a whole lot more than any book or school can teach you. There's questions of all kinds of problems on here including self made problems, problems made by bugs, problems that shouldn't happen, and more. You could read and learn to research problems on your own while seeing how badly or well it goes for people. Through the messages will be a ton of info of how to solve the problems. Some wrong, some right. Stuff not necessarily worth doing, not necessarily worth not doing. Sometimes blatantly wrong, sometimes fantastically right.

    Also, programming has free interactive courses on codecademy. I recommend starting with something simple like html, css, JavaScript as they contain some basics to programming. https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/subject/web-development which I recommend as a first step since its as easy as its going to be. They have other free courses as well. There's also various cheap or free mobile applications. But, mind you, that programming is a very complex thing of which a ton of computer knowledge will be needed to do well at it sometime this century. Unless maybe you want a more specific highly specialized approach like if you just learn how to do threading and little else.

    Of course, if you make a VM of Linux or dual boot it, that will force you to learn a lot about computers as problems happen there. Which they will lol.

    You definitely want to learn to get off of Windows 7 first before you do anything. If you want to learn anything, then simply learn how bad that is and why you shouldn't be on that OS for years now.

    You have many years to go until you have the knowledge you'd like.
