Touch Screen Tips: Windows 10 Tablet Mode

Tablet Mode in Microsoft’s Windows 10 turns any touch screen into a large tablet, ie keyboard and mouse not required. The touch screen replaces the mouse and an onscreen keyboard enables data input. Tablet mode is very straightforward to enable:

  • Open the Action Center (bottom right of the Windows screen)
  • Select Tablet Model (as shown)
