1.  On your keyboard, there’s a Windows logo key that you’ve always wondered about and thought that maybe it was just there for decoration.  Now’s your chance to use it!  Pressing the key will return you to the Start Screen.

2.  If you hover your mouse pointer in the lower-left of your computer screen, you’ll see the mini-version of the Start Screen surface.  Click it, and you’ll be returned to the life-sized version of it.
