A very naive and basic question. I have just downloaded QGIS 2.14.0 and now have 8 new & related icons on my desktop. As a student with no practical GIS work experience, I have worked with ArcGIS 10, and now for it's proclaimed benefits would like to learn to drive QGIS, but am a little confused over which of the choices is appropriate. Also, is one of these icons a similar application to ENVI?

I am using Windows 8.1.

You should start with the icon labelled QGIS Desktop 2.14.0. You will be learning about the other icons by time (if you need them at all).

I have added this icon to my taskbar to have easy access. The others I have moved into a new Desktop folder named GIS.

If you double-click on a QGIS project file, QGIS will automatically be started.
