Visually, it&#8217;s quite different from the preceeding systems:\u00a0Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Windows 8 has a Start Screen rather than a Start Button, which is arranged similar to apps on a smartphone or tablet. If you have Windows 8, but prefer to work on the traditional desktop format, one of the preset &#8216;apps&#8217; is a link to an actual desktop interface. To paraphrase the Dummies&#8217; Guide to Windows 8, it has a split personality between the social\/play (the Start Screen), and work (the desktop).<\/p>\n<p>Windows 8 was designed for touchscreens, so if you have a regular laptop, it can become confusing or difficult at times. To quit a window, you can either:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Move into a different window, hover over the Start region in the lower left, skim the mouse up to find open tabs, and right-click on the tab to close it, or<\/li>\n<li>Move to the top center of the open window until your cursor turns into a hand, grab the window, and drag it down to the bottom of the screen, where it will automatically quit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Depending on the size of your screen, you can also keep two apps (i.e. programs) open in the same window by grabbing one (as in number 2 above) and dragging it to one side of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information regarding Windows 8 will be coming soon! Note: There is currently no support for Windows 8 computers to connect to the Scripps network share or for printing.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>By ITA, Hillary Shipps<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a PC user, you are probably quite aware that PC laptops (and some desktops) have a new operating system called Windows 8. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tips-and-tricks","category-windows-8"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.scrippscollege.edu\/itfits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
