Optimize Your Windows 10 Experience<\/h4>\n

Full disclosure, I had no idea 80% of these existed! \u00a0I can’t speak for everyone, but who doesn’t love a new trick to make using your PC even easier?! \u00a0BuzzFeed <\/a>shared 22 tips and tricks to help navigate your Windows 10 PC. \u00a0I am going to share my personal favorites, but you can view the full list\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  1. The touch pad short cut. \u00a0If you have a laptop, place three fingers on the touch pad. \u00a0Navigate, using the image below. \u00a0HOW COOL IS THIS?! \u00a0Never knew!\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. Creating and closing a virtual desktop. \u00a0To create a new virtual desktop, press Ctrl+Windows Key+D. \u00a0To close your current virtual desktop, press Ctrl+Windows Key+F4. \u00a0You can navigate between virtual desktops by using the three-finger touch pad task view shortcut (three fingers on the touch pad and swipe up).<\/li>\n
  3. Resize your start menu. \u00a0Open your start menu, then hover the top outline, as shown below. \u00a0Upon doing so, you will be able to slide the start menu up and down to customize the size you’d like. \u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n
  4. View your system’s storage. \u00a0You can find a full list of what is taking up your system’s storage by going to Settings>Systems>Storage. \u00a0From there you can click on the drive you’d like to view. \u00a0You’ll be able to see how much storage your apps and games are using, how much you’re using with pictures, and so much more!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
