Windows 8.1, now with a new Start screen
With the new Windows, you can watch movies or play games, chat with friends,
get work done with Office, access files anywhere or find your next favourite
app in the Windows Store. And you can get to it all, including your familiar
desktop, from the new Start screen.
Your familiar desktop
From the Start screen, you're just a click away from the familiar Windows desktop
you know, so you can do the same stuff youve always done.
Your own unique start screen
Personalize your Start screen with your favourite news, friends, social
networks and apps. Customizable colours and backgrounds and four different
sizes of tiles make your Windows as unique as you are.

polish your CV and put together a killer presentation all on a single PC.
Now you can organize up to three apps on your screen at once in a single view.
The apps you want

you can also download thousands of popular apps from the Windows Store.

or both. Discover fast and fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go
