Why is there a new interface?

The new interface for Windows 8 is designed to work well with touch input. Windows Store apps will automatically use the whole screen and don't require closing in the traditional way. Windows Store apps will be displayed on Start using live-tiles.

What are ’live tiles?’

Live tiles are similar to thumbnails of the app that will be updated with new content whenever you're connected to the Internet. So, for example, you can view weather or stock updates without needing to open the app.

How do I unlock my computer?

Swipe the lock screen upwards and tap a user account icon to unlock the computer. If your account has a password set, you will need to enter the password to continue.
