Windows 8 training

I have just completed some basic training for using Windows 8.  I have been using it for over a month now and thought it would be good to check through what I have not been able to figure out on my own.

Top of the list is a (slightly) quicker way of turning it off:

  • Hover over the top right to bring up the menu
  • Select 'Settings'
  • Click the 'Power' button
I know that when Windows 95 came out, we all thought that clicking 'start' to shut down was strange and we all had to get used to it - but clicking 'settings' to shut down seems neither consistent nor logical.  Still, I like to end on a positive note: it does boot up much more quickly than my last system.
