      If I no longer want to use a Microsoft account with Windows, can I remove it?

image

      Yes, but you will no longer see any personal data on the Start screen, you will not be able to access your files online, and your settings will no longer sync between PCs. To remove the Microsoft account, click Start (image), click your user name in the lower-left corner, and then click Change account settings. In the Accounts window, click Your info, and then click Sign in with a local account instead.

      If Windows does not have an app that you need, you can obtain the app and then install it on your computer. You usually obtain apps from the Microsoft Store, which is an app that is preinstalled with Windows. Many Microsoft Store apps are free, but some require a payment using the credit card you have on file with your Microsoft account.

      You can also install apps that are not available via the Microsoft Store. In this case, you obtain (and usually pay for) the app on the web and then download the app to your computer. However, it is important to only install apps that you obtained from a reputable and secure site.

      How do I install software downloaded from the Internet?

      To begin, click File Explorer (image). The File Explorer program window appears. Click your Downloads folder. When the Downloads folder appears, double-click the file. The software’s installation app begins. Follow the installation instructions the app provides to install the downloaded software.

      Keep in mind that if you saved the downloaded file in a folder other than Downloads, use File Explorer to find the downloaded file. Also, the downloaded software may be multiple compressed files. In that case, extract the files and then double-click the setup file. See Chapter 10 for more about File Explorer and compressed files.

      If you plan on running multiple apps at the same time, you need to know how to easily switch from one application to another. In Windows, after you start one application, you do not need to close that application before you open another one. Windows supports a feature called multitasking, which means running two or more applications simultaneously. You can switch from one program to another using the taskbar, the Task View feature, or the keyboard.
