Win8 Encyclopedia 31: How to view the Metro application size

Author: Zhou Pu

For Win8, Surface users, download the application from the Windows Store was very convenient. However, since the Win8 tablet interface does not support right-click viewing of file sizes, we are not aware of the amount of hard disk space occupied by installed applications, which creates some minor barriers to management applications. So where do we go to see the application size? Below, the author will introduce a simple method.
“<quo;"General”

In the Charm column on the right, go to “Change PC Settings", and click the "General" option.
Available Storage

Next, in “General”, find “Available Storage", which shows the current free space on your computer. Click “View app size" to see the amount of hard drive space occupied by the installed app.
View application size

In these applications, you can definitely find some "volume" applications that are huge but not commonly used. You can choose to uninstall the app to free up system space. This little feature is more practical for Surface users.

At present, there are more than 30,000 applications in the Windows Store, which greatly improves the user's choice. Therefore, it is better to eliminate those applications that are useless. The Win8 app store has a better choice. !

Let “My Computer” appear in the start interface

By "My Computer"; Finding and managing files is a habit of many old users, but Since Win8's start interface does not have XP's "My Computer", when accessing a file, we can only enter the "computer" through the traditional desktop file manager to see the contents of each drive letter. . In fact, we can let “my computer” appear on the Metro interface.
Fixed to the start screen

In Win8, icons from every traditional desktop can be solidified into the Metro interface. Method 1: From the traditional desktop into the file manager, right click on the "computer" icon and select “fix to the start screen”.







































Pin to the start screen & rdquo;. Need to remind everyone: the beginning of the interface "computer" will still open from the traditional interface, we just created a portal for the "My Computer" in the Metro interface.
