Charms

Use the Windows Charms to start apps, find documents, set up system components, and perform most other computing tasks.

By pointing the mouse pointer to the upper or lower right corner of your screen, you will find a list of charms: Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings.

photos, and your favorite music.

 

 

Share

photos and more).

 

 

Start

This Charm takes you to the Start screen or, if

 

already on the Start screen, returns you to your

 

last app.

 

 

Devices

This Charm allows you to manage your hardware

 

devices.

Tiles

Tiles can be accessed and launched from the Start screen.

Typical Start screen tiles are the Desktop tile and Mail tile, as well as tiles representing all other applications downloaded to your system.

Windows Store

Although many applications will be pre-installed or built-in to your computer, you will also have the ability to download many other applications at the click of your mouse.

In the Windows Store you can search for and browse thousands of apps, all grouped into easy to find categories.

Turning off the power

The power can be turned off in one of the following modes, either Shut Down Mode, Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode.

Shut Down Mode

When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode, no data will be saved and the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time it is turned on.
