Windows

  • Windows 7: Start menu 
  • Windows 8: Start screen and Apps view (the view under the Start screen that includes all apps installed on a PC)* 
  • Windows 8.1: Apps view*
    *    If you cannot find your icons in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen and type the name of the application you want to launch (for example, Word).
