Getting Started with Windows 8

---

It’s the Windows for every- thing: Windows 8 is the first version of Windows designed to run on desktop PCs, laptops, and touch-based PC tablets. To do that, it brings a whole new way of working with Windows called the Start screen environment (some- times known by its code name, Metro). The Start screen is a sleek, tile-based user interface designed especially for touch- screen users and is based on Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system for smartphones. Keyboard-and-mouse users can work with the Start screen, too — it’s the face of Windows that you see every time you start your PC.
But fear not: The familiar Windows 7 desktop remains available as well on almost all Windows PCs, and you’ll use the Windows Desktop to run your familiar Windows applications, now called Windows Desktop apps. Essentially, you have two PCs in one with Windows 8 — the Start screen side and the Windows Desktop side — and you switch between the two as you use your PC, as explained later on.
