Windows 8.1 System Navigation

 

   Windows 8.1 has a slightly different set of navigation tools then Windows 8 had. Getting used to Windows 8.1 system navigation takes just a little adjustment to what you may have known from Windows 8. If you've upgraded from windows XP or even Windows 7 there is a learning curve involved, but that does not mean it's difficult to navigate Windows 8.1. In Windows 8.1 Control we learned how to make Windows 8.1 boot directly to the Desktop and how to make the Windows 8.1 Control Panel accessible on the Desktop. Now let's look a little deeper into Windows 8.1 as was done here for Windows 8 before the 8.1 update.
