Now there's a fullscreen background image that you can customize, with information on the screen like weather, time, and even email or messaging. The new lock screen is essentially the same thing you'll see on your smartphone when you press the power button, except with even more information. You can dismiss the lock screen by hitting any key on the keyboard, left-clicking with the mouse, or swiping up on your touchscreen. You can customize the lock screen in PC Settings, which we'll cover in the next chapter.
The next screen will give you the option to turn on sharing between PCs and to connect to devices. We’d recommend leaving this on if you’re going to be using the PC primarily at home. On the next screen, you’ll need to choose whether you want Windows Update turned on automatically and decide on a number of privacy settings - you definitely want to allow Windows to update itself with all the latest security patches, so make sure to leave that item to automatic. For the privacy items, the SmartScreen filter will check URLs and downloaded files to make sure that they are safe and we’d definitely recommend leaving that setting turned on.
On a touch device like a tablet, the primary method of accessing these menus and features is by swiping your finger from the left, right, top or bottom of the screen - each activates a different function. With touch, it really works very well and makes a lot of sense so you’ll feel right at home after a few minutes. If you are using a regular PC, then things get a little different. You’ll need to move the mouse pointer to hot screen corners - upper and lower right for the Charms Bar, upper left to switch to the previous Windows Store app, and lower left for the Start Screen.
