Removing a tile
To remove a tile from the Start screen, do one of the following:

available when you search, and you can re-pin it later.
• Select the tile, and then select Uninstall. Note that the app will no longer
be available when you search, and you have to reinstall the app if you want
to get it back.

You can also personalize your lock screen. To change your lock screen:

You can add apps on your lock screen to get updates when your computer is

at a glance if you have an appointment coming up, or add the Mail app to see
if you have a new message.
