How do I install apps?
You can download Windows Store apps from Store. You will need to
have a Microsoft ID to purchase and download apps from Store.
I can't find apps like Notepad and Paint! Where are they?
Move your cursor to the lower left-hand corner of the screen and
select Search. Type the name of the app you would like to open.
Alternatively, open All apps and scroll to ’Windows Accessories’ to
see the list of legacy programs.
What is a Microsoft ID (account)?
A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to
sign in to Windows. You can use any email address, but it is best if
you choose the one you already use to communicate with friends and
sign in to your favorite websites. When you sign in to your PC with a
Microsoft account, you'll connect your PC to the people, files, and
devices you care about.
Do I need one?
You do not need a Microsoft ID to use Windows 10, but it makes life
easier because you can sync data across different machines you sign
in to using a Microsoft ID.
How do I get one?
If you've already installed Windows 10 and didn't sign in with a
Microsoft account or you don't have a Microsoft account and want to
get one, press the Windows key or select the Windows Start button >
Settings > Accounts > Sign in with a Microsoft account instead,
and follow the onscreen instructions.
How do I check for Windows updates?
Press the Windows key or select the Windows Start button > Settings
> Update & Security > Windows Update. Select Advanced options
to configure the settings.
