In case you are interested here is a list of 13 keyboard shortcuts that you can use while using new [easyazon-link asin=”1118289412″ locale=”us”]Microsoft Windows 8[/easyazon-link] operating system. In meantime I can say that  installation of Windows 8 on my old laptop was really easy and I can feel that the operating system is way faster than Windows 7.

3. Windows Key + I = Opens Settings.

4. Windows Key + T = Cycle through screenshots of open apps.

5. Windows Key = Takes you to the Metro Start menu.

6. Windows Key + Space bar = Switches the input language.

7. Windows Key + , = Show desktop temporarily.

8. Windows Key + Shift + . = Docks current app to left, right, or center of screen.
