For those of you who have upgraded to Windows 8 (it is only $39.95 if you missed my post), here is an easy tip for you. The Start Screen with all the tiles you can get to by hovering then clicking in the lower left corner, touching lower left corner if you have a touch capable device, you can hover or touch the top right corner to bring out the sidebar and click the Start Screen icon there also.
But the easiest way on a traditional desktop or laptop with a full keyboard is to simply tap the Windows key. That is the one that has the little Windows symbol on it. I’ve circled it in yellow in the image for you. By the way, if you tap it again, your screen will minimize the Start Screen and go back to where you were. Try it!
