Designed for a range of hardware, from lightweight laptops to powerful desktops with high-definition screens, Windows 8 gives users the option of switching between multi-touch display capabilities and a keyboard and mouse. Smooth and intuitive, the new Windows 8 interface provides instant access to contacts, applications, and data. Windows 8.1 in Easy Steps: Special Edition explains all of these features and more, including using the desktop, taskbar, task manager, and search facilities that replaced the Start menu; accessing the system using a local account or an online account; organizing documents, pictures, and audio and music files; taking full advantage of features such as slide shows and movie players; linking Windows 8 PCs and devices to create a home network and share media files with other users; and using Internet and cloud facilities like SkyDrive. Readers will also learn about the facilities Windows 8 provides to secure, back up, and recover files and how to update and maintain the system while preserving its performance. -- Publisher Marketing
