To move a tile, drag it up or down, and then drag it where you want it.

Resize a tile

If a tile isn't fitting in the spot you want, you can usually make it larger or smaller. Here’s how:

Swipe down on the tile (or right click), then tap or click Larger or Smaller. (Some tiles can't be resized.)

Unpin a tile

If there are tiles you don't use, you can unpin them. Here’s how:

Swipe down on a tile (or right click), and then tap or click Unpin from Start.

Group tiles

You can put similar tiles together in a group and add a name. For example, you can create a "Websites" group for all the websites that you’ve pinned to Start. Here's how to name a group of tiles:

1.Pinch your fingers together on the Start screen to zoom out and see all the tiles. (If you're using a mouse, click the Zoom button in the lower right corner.)

2.Swipe down or right click the group of tiles you want to name, and then tap or click Name Group.

Pin or unpin apps

Some apps installed on your Surface might not be pinned to Start. However, you can change this if you’d like. Here’s how:

From the Start screen, open the Search charm, swipe down on an app (or right click) to select it, and then tap or click Pin to Start. If the app is already on Start, you’ll see Unpin from Start.

oIf you unpin an app, it's still installed and can be found using Search. o To uninstall an app, see Uninstall apps in this guide.

Turn off Live tiles

Live tiles show you useful info on the tile. For example, the Calendar tile shows you your next appointment. You can, however, turn off a live tile off if you’d like. Here’s how:

Swipe down on a live tile (or right click), and then tap or click Turn live tile off.
