Hello
Im not exactly how to word this but here goes. Are there any resources someone would reccomend to anyone whos looking for gaining a good grip on computer basics? My goal is to eventually enroll in school for a computer security related major but right now its able to happen. Whenever I google the subject I usually end up with sites trying to sell me something. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I assume you're using a PC with Windows, and not an Apple Mac?

Here's probably a good place to get started...
Windows Help & How-to - Microsoft Windows
Microsoft's own help and tutorials.

I'd recomend Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte's Security now podcast.
