Whenever possible, we will show you the Control Panel equivalent so you can make any comparisons yourself.Īs the name implies, PC and Devices is largely system-related. There’s a whole lot going on in the PC Settings so we want to dig right in and start showing you around. Controlling Your Device Effectively with PC and Devices Without this added functionality in Windows 8.1, it would be almost entirely useless on a touch-enabled device. You see here it provides big targets so you can efficiently make changes without the frustration of feverishly tapping and missing or hitting the wrong target. Little has changed here in recent Windows versions and it’s still perfectly functional, however, just try manipulating that with your digits and the whole thing quickly goes south.Ĭompare this then with the PC Settings’ equivalent. Take for example, the “Display -> Screen Resolution” control panel that many Windows users are likely quite familiar with. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Control Panel. Most of the time, accurately tapping targets is difficult, if not tedious. In fact, the desktop environment as a whole, is finger hostile. Trying to use the Control Panel with your fingers is a bad idea. We already discussed the Llock Screen settings previously we’re going to move forward to the rest of the PC and Devices settings so by the end, you will have a strong enough familiarity with the PC Settings to manage your computer effectively. This covers a wide swath of devices and device behavior. The PC Settings span quite a few categories but what we want to start with is the very top-most group, PC and Devices. Instead, we’ll briefly point out what each one does and, when possible, present you with the desktop option. We don’t intend to dwell or spend an inordinate amount of time hashing out each setting and explaining it from top to bottom. We’ve already talked a little bit about the PC Settings, and we’ve covered them previously on How-To Geek, so the object of this lesson is to really tour the PC Settings so, if they come up again, you know exactly what we’re talking about. They offer large targets that don’t require a lot of accuracy otherwise afforded by a mouse or similar pointing device. The PC Settings take a great deal of the tediousness out of trying to operate your device using your fingers.
