Many people think that the “Win” button is just for opening the “Start” menu. Everyone must know by now that Windows is a family of operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft. Launched in 1985, the brand has become the most widely used software worldwide.
Not everyone knows, however, that the “Win” button can be used in combination with other keys to perform certain tasks. The combinations below make it easier to work on a computer and help save us some precious time. You can see more here to learn about services stations for your device.
