Getting to the desktop

If you've been using previous versions of Windows for a while, you're no doubt familiar with the Windows desktop and how to work with Windows and Windows applications. If you've been using Windows 8.x, you'll find the transition to Windows 10 easy. If you're new to Windows 10, however, you may find the Windows 10 interface very different. Gestures such as swipe, tap, tap and hold, slide, and so on may be foreign concepts. Fortunately, Windows 10 uses many of the same general gestures and actions you find on other touch-based devices. So, the Windows 10 interface should feel familiar to you.

If you don't have much experience with touch interfaces, this chapter gets you up to speed. You learn to navigate through the Windows 10 interface, use modern Windows apps, and even work with that familiar Windows desktop! Armed with some basic concepts, you'll be navigating the Windows 10 interface like a pro in no time.

If you've been using Windows 8.x for a while and are new to Windows 10, this chapter helps you understand the changes that Microsoft introduced in Windows 10. These changes make Windows 10 easier to use, particularly for those of us who missed the Start menu in Windows 8.x.
