the files and folders reside in your computer on a storage device, such as a disk drive.

Computers can be connected together to form a network, so that programs, documents and other data can be quickly and easily shared between computers.

You can use the My Computer feature on the Start menu to access any file in the Windows® file system.

For more information, read the Microsoft documentation that comes with your computer.

Lesson 2: Using the TouchPad and control buttons together

The “Getting Started” chapter introduced you to the TouchPad, which is your basic tool for moving around the screen. This lesson lets you practice using the TouchPad and control buttons in tandem.

1Using the TouchPad, move the pointer to the Start button, then click the primary button (usually the left) to open the Start menu.

In this guide, the term “click” refers to the primary button, which is usually the left-hand button. You can also double-tap the TouchPad surface to perform the same function. Instructions requiring the secondary button specifically mention that button. For example, “click the secondary button.”
