Using the keyboard

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as

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 Windows shortcut keys

Windows provides shortcuts so that you can perform actions quickly. Press the Windows key
alone or in combination with a specific key to perform a designated action.

For commonly used shortcuts, see the
