33. Easier access to what's
most important
Power, search, and PC settings are now right on the
Start screen, in addition to being accessible from
Charms, so you can instantly shut down, search, or
change your settings.
You can now pin Windows Store apps to the taskbar
alongside desktop apps for immediate access to the
apps you use most.
Instantly access the taskbar with the mouse from
any screen, including Start or a Windows Store app,
so you can quickly switch between open apps and
launch apps you’ve pinned to the taskbar.
34. More intuitive mouse
and keyboard experience
Whatever app you’re in, move your mouse to the
top of the screen to access the familiar functions of
minimize and close.
Moving your mouse to the bottom of any screen
gives you instant access to the taskbar for fast app
launching or switching.
The familiar right-click mouse function has been
extended to the Start screen, bringing up a menu of
common controls rather than an app bar.
35. It's simpler to find new
apps you'll love
The Windows Store comes pinned to your taskbar
so it’s always one click or tap away, speeding your
discovery of great new apps.
Suggestions from Bing Smart Search now include
apps in the Windows Store so you can find and
get new apps faster than ever.
Windows Store apps are more prominently
displayed in Bing Smart Search results, making it
easier to match apps to your needs.
Your Start screen points you to your newly
installed Windows Store apps, so you don’t forget
about the great apps you have.
36. Now, a Windows device
for any budget
Choose from a wider range of Windows devices,
including value notebooks and tablets.
Get the best of Windows and Office* on
budget-friendly tablets and notebooks.
