Overview; Logging In To Windows - Medion P3 Revision 22 Operating Instructions Manual

18.3.6. Home Group
With home network groups, a Windows® 8 function, connecting home computers
is child's play. A home network group is set up automatically when you connect the
first PC running Windows® 8 to the home network. Adding additional PCs running
Windows® to the home network group can be done very quickly. You can specify
precisely what should be shared on each PC with all other PCs in the home network
group. Sharing files on the various home PCs – and on many other devices – is then
as easy as if all the data were located on a single hard drive. Thus, you can save digi-
tal photos on the computer in the study and then access them easily on a laptop in
any other room. Similarly, the printer in the study is automatically shared among all
PCs in the house once they are part of the home network group.

18.4. Overview

The greatest innovation in Windows® 8 is the Start screen. This key element replaces
the Start menu in Windows® 8.
Here you can run all the main programs and services.
As with previous versions, operation is by inputting commands using the mouse or
keyboard.
The Start screen can be opened at any time using the (Win) key. This key also al-
lows you to switch back and forth between the Start screen and an active applica-
tion. To switch to an application other than the last one opened, press the Win+Tab
keyboard shortcut.
A key element of the Start screen is the tiles which each represent an application or
function. They are shown in blocks and you can define the number of blocks and
their columns yourself.
Drag & drop the tiles to the desired position using the mouse.
