About the Windows environment

After your computer starts, the first screen you see is the Windows desktop.
The desktop is like the top of a real desk. Think of the desktop as your
personalized work space where you open programs and perform other tasks.

Your desktop may be different from the example shown below, depending on
how your computer is set up.
