Exploring Your
Device’s Features
In this chapter, you will explore some of the special features
of your device.
Exploring the 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
Web sites to your contacts and other important information.
When you swipe in from the right side of the screen, a list of
Windows charms will slide out from the right. These
Windows charms perform various commands, including
basic tasks like turning off the power and advanced PC
settings.
You can go to the Start screen by tapping/touching the
Start
charm, see “Charms” on page 76. You can also use the
Windows ( ) button on the front of the tablet to go to the
Start screen or to toggle back to the Desktop screen. For
detailed information, please refer to the Windows Help and
Support.
By tapping/touching the
Desktop tile from the Start screen,
you will find the Windows settings and features you are most
familiar with.
