FOR CERTIFICATION ONLY
Windows® UI
Windows® 8.1 comes with a tile-based user interface (UI) which
allows you to organize and easily access Windows® apps from the
Start screen. It also includes the following features that you can use
while working on your Mini Desktop PC.
Start screen
The Start screen appears after successfully signing in to your user
account. It helps organize all the applications you need in just one
place.
Windows® Apps
These are apps pinned on the Start screen and displayed on
tiled-format for easy access.
NOTE: Some apps require signing in to your Microsoft account before
they are fully launched.
