Depending on your model, your computer comes with either a standard keyboard or a ngerprint reader
keyboard. The Microsoft Windows shortcut keys are provided on both keyboard types.

Using Windows shortcut keys
Both the standard keyboard and the ngerprint reader keyboard provide three keys you can use with your
Microsoft Windows operating system.
• The two Windows logo keys are located beside the Alt key on either side of the spacebar. They feature
the Windows logo. On the Windows 7 operating system, press the Windows key to open the Start menu.
On the Windows 8 operating system, press the Windows key to switch between the current workspace
and the Start screen. The style of the Windows logo varies depending on the keyboard type.
• The context-menu key is located next to the Ctrl key on the right side of the Spacebar. Pressing the
context-menu key opens the context menu for the active program, icon, or object.
Note: You can use the mouse or the Up and Down arrow keys to highlight menu selections. You can close
the Start menu or the context menu by clicking the mouse or pressing Esc.
Using the blue ThinkVantage button
Some keyboards have a blue ThinkVantage button that you can use to open a comprehensive on-board help
and information center from Lenovo. Pressing the blue ThinkVantage button opens the SimpleTap program
on the Windows 7 operating system or the Lenovo PC Device Experience program on the Windows 8
operating system.
