black area) to the left a little bit to bring up the Charms Bar.

of the screen (in the black area) to the right to switch between apps.
• Swipe slowly from the left (Snap apps) - Perform the same action above more slowly, to drag one app out
and display it side-by-side with the app that was already on your screen.
