<strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>?<br />
<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> <strong>is</strong> an optional feature allowing <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>10</strong> users with touchscreen-enabled PCs to use<br />
their device by touching their screen, rather than using a mouse and keyboard.<br />
<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> d<strong>is</strong>plays the <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>10</strong> user interface in such a way that optimizes the PC's use as a tablet.<br />
Such optimization usually includes large app icons, fewer icons d<strong>is</strong>played, and an on-screen touch keyboard
<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> vs. Desktop <strong>Mode</strong><br />
If you're a long time user of <strong>Windows</strong> PCs, you're probably more familiar with Desktop <strong>Mode</strong> than<br />
<strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>. <strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> <strong>is</strong> a more recent feature, created to allow users to interact with their<br />
PCs without using their keyboard or mouse. Desktop mode <strong>is</strong> essentially <strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>'s predecessor,<br />
offering a classic <strong>Windows</strong> Start menu and desktop with as many thumbnail-sized program, app,<br />
and document icons a person could want.<br />
The main difference between the two modes <strong>is</strong> their appearance. Desktop <strong>Mode</strong> provides a<br />
classic point-and-click workspace, while <strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> largely eschews the d<strong>is</strong>play of many tiny<br />
icons, in favor of large, square app tiles featuring animations or content slideshows. The classic Start<br />
menu appears to be m<strong>is</strong>sing from <strong>Tablet</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>, but it's really been moved to the center of the<br />
screen. The large tiles are the Start menu and they're no longer relegated to the left-hand corner<br />
of the screen as they would have been in Desktop <strong>Mode</strong>.
