Chapter 1: The New Start Screen

Figure 1-3: To move past this lock screen, drag up on the
screen with your mouse or finger, or press a key on the
keyboard.
Previous versions of Windows let you sign in as
soon as you turned on your computer. Windows
8, by contrast, makes you unlock a screen
before moving to the sign in page, where you
type in your name and password.
How you unlock the lock screen depends on whether
you’re using a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen:
✓ Mouse: On a desktop PC or laptop, click any
mouse button.
✓ Keyboard: Press any key, and the lock screen
slides away. Easy!
✓ Touch: Touch the screen with your finger and
then slide your finger up the glass. A quick flick
of the finger will do.
