The key to remember is that while there’s no start menu, there is now a terrific search system, one that lets you just describe what you seek and that instantly shows you all the matches it finds, even in Control Panels.įor your query, simply type “screen res” to start a search for screen resolution settings. If you don’t, Win8 can be frustrating and baffling both!
Which is all well and good if you want a completely different experience. Microsoft put a lot of effort into making Windows 8 (aka “Win8”) into a completely different experience from all previous Microsoft Windows systems, axing the start menu and the task bar in favor of the full-screen tile page.
