GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS 10
WINDOWS START SCREEN
The Windows Start screen displays a list of default and
custom Live Tiles which act as a shortcut to Mail, Microsoft
Edge, Weather app, Calendar, Windows Store, and other
installed apps. Live Tiles on your Start screen change and
update in real time to show news and sports updates,
weather updates and social-networking feeds.
The tile-based user interface gives you direct access to
your most recently used apps, emails, photos, music,
videos, contacts, updates from social-networking sites,
and frequently viewed websites. You can pin your favourite
apps as tiles to customise the Start screen. You can also
personalise the Start screen by setting your favourite picture
as the wallpaper.
Note: Live Tiles can be added or removed by using Pin to
Taskbar, Pin to Start, or Unpin from Start options.
ACCESSING THE START SCREEN
When your computer boots, the Start screen appears by
default. To access the start screen from any other window or
app, use any of the following methods:
1. Press the Windows button on the keyboard;
2. Select the Start button in the lower left corner of
the screen.
Note: The functionality of the Start icon is the same as the
Windows button.
