Microsoft is trying to help new Windows 8 users by sending them e-mails that explain the new environment.
Users who set up a new Windows 8 PC or tablet and associate it with a Microsoft account will receive two separate e-mails.
The first e-mail, dubbed "Getting Started with Windows," sheds some light on the Start screen with a brief description of Live Tiles. Another section displays and explains the different charms in the Charms bar. And two other sections clue you in on how to switch between or view multiple Windows 8 apps.
Each section offers a "Learn more" or "Discover more" link that you can click on to find more details and watch a how-to video of the feature on Microsoft's Web site.
The second e-mail, "Personalize your Windows," shows you how to customize your Start screen, work with built-in apps, download new apps from the Windows store, and create a picture password.
