Some additional tips to handle the new interface:
- Right- click in an empty area on the tiles screen to show the “All apps” entry. If you choose
it, you will get all the Start Menu entries shown which in fact is very similar to the classic
Start Menu.
- To switch to the Windows Desktop, either click the appropriate tile or hit Windows + D.
- Hit Windows + X to open a small menu with shortcuts to often needed options (Computer
Management, Control Panel, System Settings).

Before installation of any additional products, it is required to check the Computer name and the
Workgroup setting of the Line Computer.

Renaming Computer Name causes Errors
Some products, like Microsoft SQL Server, depend strictly on the Computer Name.
Renaming the Computer Name after installation of SQL Server causes it to stop working
correctly if you don’t fix the dependent entries. Therefore, we recommend deciding for
the final Computer Name before installing SQL Server and other products.

Alternative Ways to System Settings
As alternative, you may use the Windows + Pause key combination to call the same
dialog. This works on all currently known Windows versions.
If you don’t have a keyboard with the Windows key and can’t find the Computer entry in
the start menu, have a look for the My Computer icon on the Desktop instead.
