What's new with Windows?
The Start screen.
Everything you care about most is on the new Start screen. Tiles on the Start screen are connected to people, apps, folders, photos, or websites, and are alive with the latest info, so you're up to date at a glance.
Mouse, keyboard—and now touch.
Windows is perfect for PCs with only a mouse and keyboard, those with touchscreens, and those with both. Whatever kind of PC you have, you'll discover fast and fluid ways to switch between apps, move things around, and go smoothly from one place to another.
Apps from the Windows Store.
Windows comes with a new store for apps, the Windows Store. Open the Store right from your Start screen to browse and download apps for cooking, photos, sports, news, and a lot more—many of them free.
Millions of streaming songs.
Windows also includes the Xbox Music app, which gives you access to a whole world of music.1
Your Windows, everywhere.
Sign in with your Microsoft account to any of your PCs running Windows and you'll immediately see your own background, display preferences, and settings.

The Familiar made better
The desktop.
The desktop that you're used to — with its taskbar, folders, and icons — is still here and better than ever, with a new taskbar and streamlined file management.
Security.
Stay up to date and more secure with Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update.
Speed.
Windows starts up faster, switches between apps faster, and uses power more efficiently than Windows 7.
Meet Windows RT.
Exclusively on new PCs
In addition to Windows 8, there's a version of Windows called Windows RT that runs on some tablets and PCs. These lightweight PC's have fantastic battery life, and are a great option for doing stuff on the go. You can't install Windows RT on your current PC. You can only get it by buying a Windows RT PC.
Includes a special version of Office.
Windows RT comes with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT. This version of Office is optimized for touchscreens and automatically updates so you always have the latest version.
Exclusively runs Windows Store apps.
Windows RT only runs apps that you download from the Windows Store, and also has great built-in apps like Mail, People, Messaging, Photos, Skydrive, Music and Video, so you can stay in touch and have fun.
See Windows in action.
Make it yours.
The Windows Start screen is your personalized home for the things you care about and want to keep an eye on. Organize it, customize it, and make it yours.
Work hard, play hard.
Windows tablets run Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, so you can mix in a little work with episodes of your favorite shows.
Not your average apps.
With thousands of apps to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Once you buy an app from the Windows Store, it’s yours to use on up to five Windows PCs or tablets.
