Making a mind map from Microsoft course material

Microsoft courses often spread key ideas across slide decks, PDF handouts and lecture notes, so a mind map maker for Microsoft material can pull those threads into one view.

Start with the exam objectives or course units as main branches.
Keep each sub-point short, ideally a term plus a one-line meaning.
Link services to the problems they solve, not just their names.
Redraw the map from memory once a week to find the gaps.
