# #indows
apps are launched by pressing windows and typing. Apps can be lauched with sudo-like power by windows by pressing right then tapping down to hit open with admin rights.
start:
- install chocolatey from their website
- `choco install vscode`
- `choco install spotify`
Terminal:
Stable: Use WSL, this creates an install of ubuntu
### Keyboard mastery:
- alt-f4 seems unreliable in powershell
- Pressing alt solo will switch your seelction to the window's menubar
- Control is often used as a modifier
- windows + directions is used for moving a window around
- windows + tab = expose + recent files (it's too slow to really use though, even on a fresh computer )
The taskbar defaults aren't really recommended by anyone:
- right click to get to settings
- remove search, cortana,
- remove extra icons like IE, store etc by ricght clicking and unpinning
