Teach you to quickly master the Win 8 Getting Started Guide

                  A few days ago, Microsoft announced the upgrade and retail price of Windows 8. It is surprising that the price is very attractive: if you upgrade from the existing system, it only costs 40 dollars, equivalent to about 250 yuan; if it is next year Buying the retail version of Windows 8 Professional before February is only $70 (450 RMB). Compared with the existing operating system price, Win8 is much cheaper. For those with fixed income, it is not a big problem to buy a genuine Windows 8 at that time. PS: According to the news, after the Win8 is released, domestic users can enjoy the preferential price of 98 yuan (RMB) when they upgrade from Win7 to Win8.

Perhaps it was attracted by the preferential price. Some friends around me started to explore Windows 8. After I learned that I just installed the Win8 preview, I came over and experienced a new system. However, I did not expect Windows 8's new Metro style interface to become a hurdle first: some people who first contacted it did not know where to start. Based on this situation, Xiaobian believes that it is necessary to organize a Windows 8 newbie guide so that everyone can understand and use Windows 8. Let's get to the point below. The guides in this article are all based on the Windows 8 Release Preview version. This version can basically be regarded as the functional stereotype before the official release, that is, there will be no major changes, so the existing skills. If there is no accident, you can extend to the official version of Windows 8. The first hurdle: Win8 lock screen

For the first time users, Windows 8 lock screen will often become the first hurdle. Because according to the previous habits, either directly log in to the desktop after the system is started, or a login window appears, allowing the user to enter an account and password. However, Windows 8 adds a new layer of screen when logging in, that is, the lock screen. In Win8RP, the user will see a picture similar to the following picture. There is no account password input box, and the system will not automatically log in. It's actually very easy to get through this hurdle. Knock on the [space] or [Enter] key on the keyboard, the lock screen will be removed, and the login box hidden behind it will appear, so I won't need it. Teach it? How to operate the touch screen

Considering the various optimizations made by Windows 8 for touch devices, Win8 will become more and more popular in touch monitors and even tablets in the future, leaving the keyboard and mouse, how to operate? Look at the diagram below. The second hurdle: Metro start screen

After getting the lock screen, after logging in to the system, the second hurdle is coming. When you see the following interface, it may be strange, how is Win8 this look, the desktop? In fact, this is one of the most significant changes in Windows 8 compared to previous systems. In Win8, this interface is called "starting screen", the status is equivalent to the previous desktop, and the traditional desktop we are familiar with, although retained, has relegated to the second line, becoming a special application of Win8. The large icon for this block on the start screen is called "Plug", which acts as a shortcut to the application. The name of the app will be displayed in the lower left corner of the tile. If you look closely, you will find the tile labeled "Desktop" and click to enter the custom desktop. If you right click on the tile, an additional “Application Command Bar” will pop up at the bottom of the screen to shrink the larger rectangular tile (to accommodate more tiles) and also to remove the tile from the start screen. (The app is still there) or uninstall the app. Depending on the application, there are some other available commands, such as “Run as administrator”. How to operate the touch screen How does the tile operation involve the right mouse button, so how to implement it on the touch screen? After groping, Xiao Bian found that we only need to hold down a tile with a finger, move it a little downward and then release it. At this point, the tile will be selected and pop-up "Application Command Bar". Press and hold the tile down a short distance to activate “app command bar” Know how to deal with the tiles, you can handle them as you like: I think the rectangular tile is too occupied? It’s easy to do it, shrink them and re-adjust them.
