Start screen
The Start screen is the launching pad for everything you can do in the
Windows operating system, providing new and easy ways to access
everything from your favorite apps and websites to your contacts and other
important information.
From the Start screen, you can start typing to search for what you want.
From there, you can easily switch between results for apps, files, and
more.
Charms
Use the Windows charms to start apps, find documents, set up system
components, and perform most other computing tasks.
By pointing the mouse pointer to the upper or lower right corner of your
screen, you can find a list of charms: Search, Share, Start, Devices, and
Settings.
Search This charm allows you to search your computer
(apps, settings, and files), the web, or within an
app. You can also find the Search icon on the
upper right of the Start screen.
Share This charm allows you to share items (links,
photos, and more).
Start This charm takes you to the Start screen or, if
already on the Start screen, returns you to your
last app.
Devices This charm allows you to manage your hardware.
Settings This charm allows you to access your computer
settings (volume, brightness, connecting to the
Internet, and more).
Tiles
Tiles can be accessed and launched from the Start screen.
Typical Start screen tiles are the Desktop tile and Mail tile, as well as tiles
representing all other applications downloaded to your system.
Windows Store
Although many applications are pre-installed or built-in to your computer,
you can also download many other applications at the click of your mouse.
