Top-edge swipe and bottom-edge swipe

The top-edge swipe or bottom-edge swipe allows you to open a list of apps available on your
computer.

From the Windows Start screen, gently swipe your finger from the top edge or the bottom edge
of the display onto the screen.

Tap All apps to view available apps.

Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as
you do using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to
perform specific functions.

TIP:

The Windows key

on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from

an open app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous
screen.

NOTE:

Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard

functions than those discussed in this section.

Using the keys

Your computer has different ways to quickly access information or perform functions with certain keys
and key combinations.

Using the action keys

An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the

through

keys and the
