GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS 10
Windows start screen
The Windows Start screen displays
a list of default and custom Live
Tiles which act as a shortcut to
Mail, Microsoft Edge, Weather app,
Calendar, Windows Store, and other
installed apps. Live Tiles on your
Start screen change and update in
real time to show news and sports
updates, weather updates and social-
networking feeds.
The tile-based user interface gives
you direct access to your most
recently used apps, emails, photos,
music, videos, contacts, updates from
social-networking sites, and frequently
viewed websites. You can pin your
favourite apps as tiles to customise the
Start screen. You can also personalise
the Start screen by setting your favourite
picture as the wallpaper.
Note: Live Tiles can be added or removed
by using Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start, or
Unpin from Start options.

screen appears by default. To access the
start screen from any other window or
app, use any of the following methods:
