If you've got any tips specific to Windows 8, put them in the comments below.
We'll feature the best of them, and credit you in the post. Windows 8 is dramatically different, in both look and user experience, from any PC interface that's come before it. The video above will give you a taste for the overall look and feel it's the same on a desktop as it is on a tablet , as well as some of the core features and terms—Charms, Snap, and more—that we'll be dealing with below.
You should also check out our full review for an overview. Here comes the deep dive that'll make your Windows 8 life a million times better. Windows 8 looks drastically different from what you're used to. Those colors! Those tiles! While we're big fans of the overhaul, you may long for the Windows desktop of old.
Don't worry; Microsoft built an ejector seat specifically for people like you. Press it again, and you'll clear all the windows to show the desktop you've spent the last two decades getting comfortable with.
Press it once more and your fancy tiled windows come back. A four-fingered vertical swipe also accomplishes this, but we found the keyboard shortcut a little easier. A lot of the default apps in Windows 8 will shoot you into a Live app—and out of the desktop environment.
To remedy this, you just have to right click on any file of the type you want, and mouse over the Open with option. From there, select Choose default program You'll be able to select whether any app opens in Windows 8 or desktop. If you set all your file types to desktop apps, you'll never get booted out of desktop for anything, and you can enjoy all of the other benefits of Windows 8, like its smaller footprint and better performance. With Windows 8, a lot of apps are going to have two versions for you to choose from, or, often, that you can run at the same time.
If you do choose to embrace Windows 8 in all its tiled goodness—and you really should—the first trouble you're going to run into is fluidly switching between apps. Your programs will now open full screen, which means going back and forth is more complicated than just clicking around. So here's how to get around:. Your New Most Used But Kinda Clumsy Gesture: You can zoom through Metro apps while multitasking easily enough just by swiping or clicking in the top left corner, if you're on a mouse , but there's one problem: It can be a crap shoot which app you're going to get, since there's no visual reference point about what's coming up next, and in what order.
The gesture to get around this isn't super obvious. If you're using a touchscreen, pull from the left side of the screen, like you're going to yank an app over for that fast-change multitask, but then shove it back to the left. This brings up the Windows 8 app selector, where only Windows 8 apps are shown, with the desktop environment being a single app.
As far as we can tell, this doesn't work on trackpads at least the ones we've used.
