4. Start Menus

A Start Menu is a series of words or icons that make it simple for you to find the most used locations on your computer. It can be customized to suit your needs.

On most computers, your computer will open to a desktop view.  On Windows 8.1®, it may open to the tile view that resembles the view on most smart phones.  The tile view is a form of start menu as it contains direct links to many of the key locations.  You will need to locate the desktop tile and click on it or touch it (if you have a touch screen).  We will work from the desktop view.
