Here's what you can do with the charms:

Search Search for anything. Search the app you're in, another app, or search Surface for an app, setting, or file. For more info, see the How to search section in this guide.

Share Share files and info with people you know or send info to another app without leaving the app you're in. You can email photos to your mom or send a link to a note-taking app like OneNote. For more info, see the Share photos, links, and more section in this guide.

Start Go to your Start screen. Or if you're already on Start, you can use this charm to go back to the last app you were using.

Devices Use devices that are connected to your Surface, both wired and wireless. You can print from an app or stream your latest home movie to your TV.

Settings Change settings for apps and Surface.

When you open Settings, the items in the upper-right corner change depending on where you are. For example, if you open Settings from an app, you’ll see settings for that app.

When you open Settings, the items in lower-right corner are always the same. Here you’ll find PC settings like network connection, volume, brightness, notifications, power (shutdown and restart), and keyboard. For more info, see the Change your settings section in this guide.

The familiar desktop

After introducing all this new stuff, here’s something familiar. The Windows desktop—with its taskbar, folders, and icons—is still here, with a new taskbar and streamlined file management.
