Change is everything. well, there are some changes that should make it easier for new users of windows 8.1 to learn and use. Here's a look at some tips and tricks for using new features in Windows 8.1.
Two of the biggest complaints of Windows 8 was to deal with the modern-style Start screen when logging in, and the lack of a Start button. For users on a traditional PC without touchscreen capabilities, it made no sense and was confusing. Microsoft listened, returning a Start button, boot to desktop, and giving users the ability to make the new modern-style interface less in your face. It's not set up by default, but it's simple enough to configure.
On the Taskbar, right-click and select Properties. It provides options to bypass the Start screen and go straight to the desktop when you log in, sort programs so your desktop ones appear first on the list.
New lock screen features
The lock screen in Windows 8 was at the best. It allowed you to get app notifications, and that function is still here, more have been added. You can now accept Skype video, voice, and text calls, and access your device's camera, much like your iOS and Android. And another cool feature is the ability to create slide shows from images and photos stored on your local device or in the cloud on SkyDrive.
