Windows 8 is the default operating system on most of the new
laptops and computers. Whether you like it or not but you have to use it unless
you are willing to format it (but then you will need to manually download and
install all drivers). If you acquaint yourself with knowledge of windows 8
shortcuts then you can increase your productivity. In this post I will reveal
some of the most useful shortcuts that people are not aware of.
- Windows key + x = opens the Windows tools menu
- Windows key + c = opens the Windows 8 right sidebar. It is used for searching, settings and start button. If not using shortcut then you need to move mouse to top-right corner for this sidebar to appear.
