Start screen

The Start screen is the launching pad for everything you can do in the
Windows operating system, providing new and easy ways to access
everything from your favorite apps and Web sites to your contacts and
other important information.
From the Start screen, you can just start typing to search for what you
want. From there, you can easily switch between results for apps, files, and
more.

Charms

Use the Windows charms to start apps, find documents, set up system
components, and perform most other computing tasks.
By swiping in from the right edge of your screen, you will find a list of
charms: Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings.

Search

This charm allows you to search your tablet
(apps, settings and files), the web, or within an
app. You can also find the Search icon on the
upper right of the Start screen.

Share

This charm allows you to share items (links,
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.

Settings

This charm allows you to access your tablet’s
settings (volume, brightness, connecting to the
internet, and more).

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 tablet,
you will also have the ability to download many other applications.
In the Windows Store you can search for and browse thousands of apps,
all grouped into easy to find categories.
