Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts

Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate Windows 8 Using Keyboard Shortcuts

 Windows 8 Start Screen

Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 8 has a Start Screen rather than a Start Menu. You will find your favorite software programs, device apps, and computer settings on the Start Screen. When a software program or application is opened, the Windows 8 desktop looks identical to the traditional computer desktop from previous Microsoft operating systems.

As you open software applications, right click each software application icon on the Windows Task Bar (traditional Windows Desktop view), and select Pin to Task Bar. This will provide easy access to each of your most frequently opened applications.

Navigate Windows 8Basic Navigation

To quickly navigate back to the Start Screen, simply strike the Windows Key, taking you back to the Windows 8 Start Screen.

To return to the Windows Desktop, hold down the Windows Key and strike the “D” Key. The Windows Desktop and any open applications will be available for easy access.
