#4 Get connected to SkyDrive

To save your photos, files and important documents, Windows 8.1 provides you with a built in connection to Microsoft’s online storage system, SkyDrive.

Files can be saved directly here and even when offline, the SkyDrive app will get a new update so that files are made available to users.

#5 Internet Explorer 11

The new OS will present its users with Internet Explorer 11. With better performance this time, users can find faster page load times and several other new features to enjoy with.  Leblond gives an example that one can adjust the appearance of modern IE11, to always show the address bar and have as many open tabs as you like.

#6 Photoframe on desktop

The new version features a lock-up screen that will display a slideshow of a user’s favourite pictures.

You can turn on your PC or tablet into a picture frame by making your Lock screen a slide show of your pictures. This could either be done locally on the device or photos from Microsoft SkyDrive. There is a feature to take pictures with built-in camera right from the Lock screen without having to log in.
