HDMI®
HDMI stands for "High Deinition Multimedia Interface" and is a cable-based
interface for digital image and sound transmission to connected HDMI-ready
peripheral devices. Using a suitable HDMI cable, you can, for example, play the
videos stored on your Notebook on an HDMI-ready television without having to
irst save the videos on your television.
Microsoft account
"Microsoft account" is the new name for the previous "Windows Live ID". Your
Microsoft account consists of an e-mail address and a password that you
need to sign into services such as Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone
or Xbox Live. If you use an e-mail address and password to sign into these or
other services, this means that you already have a Microsoft account. You can,
however, register for a new account at any time.
Scrolling
Scrolling refers to the act of moving the screen contents either horizontally or
vertically. You can scroll by using the scroll bar or by using the scroll wheel on
the mouse.
Task bar
The task bar is the horizontal bar found at the bottom of your Notebook. Unlike
your desktop, which can be covered by opened windows, the task bar is almost
always visible. The task bar therefore provides you with constant access to the
important functions and settings of your Notebook plus an overview of all the
windows you have open.
USB
USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus" and is the name of a cable-based interface
on your Notebook. It is used to connect peripheral devices and exchange data
between your Notebook and external devices such as a USB stick.
Windows Store
The Windows Store is an online store offered by Microsoft with lots of useful
and interesting apps that you can download to your Notebook. See the
"Downloading applications from the Windows Store" section for information on
how to download apps from the Windows Store. Please note that you need to
pay for some apps (paid apps are clearly labelled as such in the Windows Store).
