All about apps

Like the Start button in previous versions of Windows, the Start screen is where you start apps. To open an app or program, tap or click its tile on the Start screen. You can open apps from the Windows Store and desktop apps from the Start screen.

What are desktop apps? Desktop apps are programs that run in the desktop. For example, Office apps and Notepad are desktop apps.

Tips

∙To see all installed apps: From the Start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen (or right click), and then tap or click All apps. This shows you all the apps and programs that are installed on Surface.

∙To start an app using the keyboard: From the Start screen, type the name of an app. When you start typing, Windows shows you apps that match what you’ve typed.
