By opening the control panel, the firt thing you see are eight different sections, each section containing 3-6 sub-sections. By knowing how to access your control panel, you can fix system and security issues, netwrok and internet issues, and hardware and sound issues, along with ease of access for impaired users. You can also, change the time, appearance and user account in the control panel as well. Under the 'Programs' section you can uninstall virus and/or uneeded items, and repair damaged apps or programs. This can be useful when trying to eliminate hazardous content.
Etc, Etc. I hope this is helpful even if I'm a highschooler. :)
