There are many questions that people have about the Windows 10 operating system before and after they buy it.  There are so many hidden or slightly hidden features that getting tips and tricks on using it is a must.  Here I will answer your questions about the Windows 10 Operating system.

1. I have heard I can customize the start menu on my Windows 10 operating System, What can I customize and how do I do it? This is correct; you can customize how much you want on your start menu.  You can also customize what size you want it to be.  You can pin applications and programs to your start bar that you want easy access to. To change the size of your start menu you click and hold the cursor by the start box and then drag it to the size you want.  You can pin your apps by right clicking on the app you want to pin.
