Windows 8 includes two versions of Internet Explorer 10, one which opens from a tile on the Start screen and also one which looks more like version 9 and opens from an icon on the Desktop.

Traditional programs such as Microsoft Word open on the desktop in the normal way and still have to be closed using the X in the top right hand corner.

As mentioned above, Windows 8 does still have a Desktop similar to Windows 7.

Facebook, you will find all your contacts together in the new 'People' app.

Instead of having separate contacts for email, Skype and social networking e.g.

Instead, it has a ‘Charms Bar’ (see right) which is where you go to shut down and use other tools such as ‘Search’.

Apps don’t have to be closed by clicking a X in the corner – instead, just press the Windows key on your keyboard to return to the Start Screen. Optionally, an app can be closed by dragging it down from the top of the screen with your mouse, with the left button held down – or with your finger if you are using a touchscreen.

Windows 8 comes with an antivirus program called ‘Defender’.

Additional apps can be downloaded from the Windows Store.

Move the mouse pointer over (or press and hold) the far-right edge of the taskbar to see the desktop.

You click these to open your ‘Apps’ (short for Applications). Taskbar supports Android 10s Desktop Mode, allowing you to connect your compatible device to an external display and run apps in resizable windows, for a PC-like experience On devices running Android 7.0+, Taskbar can also launch apps in freeform windows without an external display.

Instead of Icons, the new Start screen has ‘Tiles’.

It still has the familiar ‘Desktop’ as well but we’ll come to that in a minute.

When you log in to Windows 8, the first screen you see is the new ‘Start Screen’, also known as ‘Metro’.

This is because it is designed to also work with touchscreen computers and tablets. Windows 8 looks quite different from Windows 7. This is the latest Microsoft operating system which has been installed on all new Windows computers since the latter part of 2012.

If you have bought a new computer recently, the chances are that you are now trying to get to grips with Windows 8.
