From speed-up and security software

to superb photo apps, there’s always

something new to try on your PC. The

Windows Store in Windows 10 and Windows

8.1 is packed with software to download.

Welcome

If you’re battling a

busy desktop full

of apps, windows

and strewn with

file icons, staying

organised and stress-free can

be tricky. And that’s why you

should turn to page 42.

There you’ll discover a great

way to get and stay organised

• using the multiple desktops

feature that’s built right in to

Windows 10. And on page 36

you’ll learn a handy way to

automate common PC tasks,

giving you more time to do

the stuff you love – like adding

an old-fashioned sepia look to

your favourite family photos

(page 27), or recording sounds

on your PC (page 30). Enjoy!
