It's been about two years since Windows 8 officially hit the market, and this operating system definitely was a big change for consumers following Windows 7. For many people, it has been difficult to adjust to this new operating system. Here are a few tips and tricks that can make using Windows 8 an easier experience.
As a Windows user, we have spent many years navigating our PCs through the Start button. Certainly it seemed curious at first that the mechanism by which one turns off their computer would be located under the Start button, but we all got used to it. Now Microsoft has taken it away, and at first it seems a bit weird trying to figure out where everything is located. But never fear, all you must do is keep calm and type on. Simply type the name of application you need and it will appear on the screen. So if you need Microsoft Excel, you just type Microsoft or Excel and the icon will appear on the left top of the screen.
If you need to find something other than an application, such as an actual Word document, a notepad or an Excel document, you might be hoping to find that handy old Windows Explorer. Start typing the word file and an icon for "File Explorer" appears. Click on it and you will see the familiar search box you remember from the earlier versions of Windows. Then you can search your entire computer for specific files by name just as you did before the advent of Windows 8.
In the past, the Start button is where you found all of your computer settings. It's still simple to change any setting by simply typing a letter such as "a" and when the search box shows up, just click on the Settings tab and huge list of what you can change will appear. Alternatively, you can simply type on the Windows icon in between the function key and the alt key and also press on the letter I at the same time. This will make the Settings tab appear as well.
While you might be wishing for a return to Windows 7, this new operating system actually has some great features and it just takes patience and time to discover all that Windows 8 has to offer. Spend some of your free time playing with the new Start screen and you'll be an expert before you know it.
