The charms: Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings

No matter where you are in Windows, the charms help you do the things you do most often, like search, share links and photos, connect devices, and change settings. The charms are context sensitive, meaning that what you can do depends on where you are. For example if you open the Settings charm from the Start screen, you’ll see PC settings. If you open the Settings charm from an app you’ll see app settings.

The five charms—Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings—are always available on the right side of your screen. Here’s how to open them:

Touch Swipe in from the right edge, and then tap the one you want.

Mouse Move your pointer into the upper-right or lower-right corner, and then move it up or down to click the one you want.

Keyboard Press one of the charm keys on Touch Cover and Type Cover (on the top row).
