Attaching a keyboard will enable PC mode. It’s like 2-in-1s.

How tablet Mode works: Start menu, apps, older programs open on full screen like any other tablet. So it’ll provide more space to work. We can also work on two programs at a time side-by-side, just drag one to any other side. After completing that work, simply drag down to close. That’s it.

START MENU: We’ve already know that Microsoft’s Start Menu back with lots of change. It isn’t quite the Start menu that you’re used from Windows 7 and Vista. In fact, it’s better than older! The Windows 10 Start menu is the best Start menu yet. Now this is very big feature of Windows 10. A new Start menu is used on the Windows 10 desktop with a list of applications and other programs on the left side. The power button got moved to top. If you click the “Power” button, you get the option to Sleep, Shut Down, or Restart. But Log off button moved to user name. When you click on user name, there you lock the computer or Sign Out.

We can also follow up tabs, take a snap-chat of the screen. It is the only browser that allow users to take notes, write, doodle and highlight directly on the pages right from the browser. To do that click on “Make a Web Note” icon at the top right corner (see below picture). Once you click on that icon, there you can find a drawing tools like Pen, Highlighter, Eraser, Clip and Add a typed note. Then save your customized web pages and share it to Mail, One Note, other.
