If you’re like me, sometimes you’re a slow learner or you just like things the way they were. Why change a good thing, right? Windows 10 has some nice new features, but I thought Windows 7 was simple and easy to use, plus I know it. Here are some tips on how to navigate Windows 10 a little easier. Hope they help.
| Right Mouse Click on Windows (Start) Icon | This will pop-up a list of applications like on Windows 7. |
| Windows Key – Alt – Esc | Toggle through all open windows (applications) |
| Ctrl – Shift – Esc | Open Task Manager (click on More Details in bottom left) |
| Esc | Escape from current pop-up from a shortcut. |
| Windows Key – D | Show the Desktop. |
| Windows Key – Tab | Show running tasks (applications). |
| Windows Key – Ctrl Key – D | Open new virtual desktop window. |
| Windows Key – Ctrl Key – Left or Right Arrow | Move left or right between virtual desktops. |
| Windows Key – Ctrl Key – F4 | Closes the current virtual desktop |
| Windows Key – Up Arrow | Changes current window from normal to full screen or from minimized to normal. |
| Windows Key – Down Arrow | Changes current window from full screen to normal or from normal to minimized. |
| Windows Key – Left or Right Arrow | Moves current window to left half of screen or right half. Combine with Up or Down Arrow keys to move to top left quarter, etc. |
