Picture password
Choose any picture you want for your lock screen. Then, instead of typing a password, you can unlock your PC by drawing shapes on that picture with your finger or mouse. Three taps or clicks on your dog's nose? Tracing the smile of your toddler? The choice is yours.
Back to Start
Your Start screen is accessible, no matter what you’re doing. Swipe in from right edge or point with your mouse to the lower-left corner and you'll see the Start screen icon that takes you back instantly.
Windows 8
App commands
New app, no learning curve: Swipe in from the bottom to see the controls for any app you're in. Or, with a mouse, right-click anywhere in the app.

Start screen
It’s everything you care about in one place, and arranged the way you want it.
Live tiles
This isn't the usual wall of static icons: Live tiles on your Start screen animate with the latest information. Status updates, weather forecasts, Tweets, and more—you'll see live updates before you open a single app.
Make it yours
Pin as many tiles to Start as you like. Resize them, organize them in groups, move them around, even choose your background colors and patterns, so everything is just the way you want it.
Type to search
Start typing anytime you're on the Start screen and a search bar will pop up to find what you're looking for—on the web, in your apps, or on your PC.
