Overview; Logging In To Windows - Medion X50 Operating Instructions Manual

HomeGroup
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 digital 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.

The Start screen can be opened at any time using the
the Start screen and an active application. To switch to an application other than the last one opened, press the Win+Tab key-
board 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.
