19.3. Windows
19.3.1. Microsoft Account
A Microsoft account is an email address and password for logging in to Windows®
8. You can use any email address. We recommend using the address you use to
communicate with friends and log into your favourite web sites, however.
The Microsoft account also allows you to purchase or download apps from the Store
and install them on up to five devices.
Once you have logged on to your Notebook using a Microsoft account, you also
have access to the various services and programs provided by Microsoft.
•
The contact information and status updates for your friends from services such
as Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn will be updated automatically as
soon as you run these services using your Microsoft account.
•
You can also access and share your photos, documents and other files via
SkyDrive, Facebook and Flickr.
•
Your personal settings, including designs, language settings, Internet favourites
and apps will be synchronised with each PC running Windows® 8 that you log on
to.
•
You can obtain Apps from the Windows
running Windows® 8 that you log on to.
If you wish to create a Microsoft account in Windows® 8, proceed as follows:
Move the mouse pointer into the top right or bottom corner of the screen and
click
Settings.
Click Change PC settings. > Users > Switch to a Microsoft account.
19.3.2. Taskbar (Desktop Mode)
You can start programs from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and switch
between programs already running. In Windows® 8 you can place any program
onto the taskbar, so that you can always open it with a single click. You can also
rearrange the icons on the taskbar by simply clicking on them and dragging them
to the desired position. Move the mouse pointer over the icons and thumbnails of
each file or each open window and that program will be displayed. If you move the
mouse pointer over the thumbnail, a full screen preview of the window in question
appears. When you move the mouse pointer away from the thumbnail again, the
full screen preview closes.
