Sta rt sc re e n

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.
