Printable guide for iPhone & Windows 11 Someone showed you once. Now it’s written down.

Yes, it’s written for that. Each card is one job, in plain words, with numbered steps and a way to check it worked. You don’t read it front to back; you look up the job in front of you. Try the 10 free sample pages to see for yourself.

Yes, if it’s an iPhone 11 or a later model, or an iPhone SE (2nd or 3rd generation). It’s written for iOS 27, and most steps also match iOS 26. It doesn’t cover the foldable iPhone Duo, which this edition wasn’t checked on, or the iPhone XS, XR and older models, which can’t run iOS 26 or 27. To check yours, open Settings, then General, then About.

No. It’s written for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2 and 26H2, Home or Pro, and Windows 10’s screens often look different. The Stay safe, Fix-it and Records pages still help on any computer, and one page explains what the end of Windows 10 support means for you. To check which Windows you have, select Start, then Settings, then System, then About.

It’s five PDF files: a short Start Here page, the guide (117 pages in US Letter, 116 in A4) and a 10-page Print & Keep pack, each in both sizes. You read them on screen or print them. There’s no app to install, no account to make and no video to watch.

The numbered steps are printed in 14-point type and each card’s title in 27-point type, in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface the Braille Institute designed to make letters easier to tell apart. Look at the real pages or the free sample to judge for yourself. On screen, you can zoom in as far as you like.

No. The PDFs read well on a computer, tablet or phone, and you can search them for a word like “print” or “bigger”. Many people print just the desk cards and the pages they use most. Black-and-white printing works fine.

Apple and Microsoft update their software several times a year. Each card names the software it was checked against and uses the exact words on your screen, and its path shows where to look nearby. If we correct or refresh this edition, the updated files appear on the same Gumroad page your receipt links to — at no extra cost.

Their support pages are free, accurate and long, and they’re where every step in this kit was checked. Plain Steps gathers the everyday jobs into one place, one page each, in the same shape every time, with fix-it pages and scam checks alongside. It’s made to be printed and kept by your devices.

Gumroad emails your receipt. Its View content button opens your files, and always brings you back to them. Gumroad may ask you to confirm your email address first. You don’t need a Gumroad account. See Getting started for each step.

It’s written for exactly that reader: plain words, one job per page, and a way to check each step worked, so they can do it themselves. At checkout, turn on “Give as a gift?” and enter the other person’s email address, with a message if you like. You get the receipt; they get an email with the link to the files.

Yes. Print as many copies as you like for your household and for anyone you personally help, such as a parent who lives elsewhere. Please keep the files themselves within your household: don’t post them online or pass them around.

If the kit isn’t right for you, ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase — just reply to your Gumroad receipt email. You don’t need to give a reason or return anything.

No. This edition covers the iPhone and Windows 11 computers. The Stay safe, Fix-it and Records pages still help with any device.
