What's new
The Start screen
Everything you care about most is on the new Start screen.
Tiles on the Start screen are connected to people, apps, folders,
photos, or websites, and are alive with the latest info, so you're up to
date at a glance.
Mouse, keyboard—and now touch
Windows 8 is perfect
for PCs with only a mouse and keyboard, those with touchscreens, and
those with both. Whatever kind of PC you have, you'll discover fast and
fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go smoothly
from one place to another.
New PCs
There are amazing new PCs of all kinds, including sleek and lightweight tablets, convertibles, and laptops.
| Apps from the Windows Store
Windows 8 comes with a new store for apps, the Windows
Store. Open the Store right from your Start screen to browse and
download apps for cooking, photos, sports, news, and a lot more—many of
them free.
Millions of streaming songs
Windows 8 also includes the Xbox Music app, which gives you access to a whole world of music.
Your Windows, everywhere
Sign in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows 8 and you'll immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.

and icons—is still here and better than ever, with a new taskbar and
streamlined file management.
Security
Stay up to date and more secure with Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update.
Speed
Windows 8 starts up faster, switches between apps faster, and uses power more efficiently than
Windows 7.
