Windows icon is added at the previous location where start
button is located. Except it can come back to start screen, users also can
right-click it to choose “Shut down” or “Restart”. In a word, the back of start
button satisfies old habits of computer users.
Compared to Windows 7 or Windows XP, start button in Windows 8.1 is similar but not the same. It is more like the link center between traditional desktop and metro interface.

Metro interface is almost the biggest feature of Windows 8.1
new features. I believe that most of computer users have had deep impression on
Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 start screen.

application in according to our necessity. And we can find common application
more conveniently, for example look for application based on name or frequency
of use.
Also, Windows 8.1 add a new hand gesture function. When we slide up start screen, we will enter “all programs” screen where we could see all the application programs. If we slide it down, we will come back to start screen.

4. Change Information retrieval way and strengthen the global search capability
Windows 8.1 integrates with Bing service deeply, taking newest
Bing application into use, which makes search interface completely different. Users

contents for your keywords from your local computer and Web Internet at the
same time.
5. Support 3D hardware accelerated rendering and IE11 support WebGL
Maybe you couldn’t find the difference between IE10 and IE11
at first. But if you are more careful and use IE 11, you would find the options
interface has been moved to the bottom of IE interface.
- IE11 won’t make constraints on label quantities. You can pause inactive page tags and it will be activated instantly when you click the page again. In addition, IE 11 provides faster browse and response speed.

and its function becomes more perfect. For example, “Related App” makes finding other
apps more quickly.

Windows operational system. And there is improvement in these two aspects.
