Now that you know some basic gestures and their corresponding mouse actions, you're ready to start navigating around the Windows 10 interface, starting with the Start menu, previously shown in Figure 2.3. Use any of these actions to open the Start screen:

● Press the Windows key on the keyboard.

● Use the mouse to place the cursor at the bottom-left corner of the screen, and then click the Start menu icon.

To move around the Start screen on a touch device, simply swipe the display up or down to view additional tiles. Then, tap a tile to open its associated app. You can also use the scroll wheel on the mouse to move through the Start menu.

You'll find that tiles on the Start menu can be live, meaning they can dynamically display information. For example, after you add an account to the Mail app, the app tile shows a preview of messages in your Inbox. The Weather tile is also live; it shows the current weather conditions (assuming your device is connected to the Internet). Other tiles show similar dynamic data. Figure 2.4 shows some examples of live tiles.

TIP

On a touch device, swipe from the left edge of the screen to display the Task view, which you can use to switch among running apps.
