​In the bottom toolbar on the far right next to the date and time. You will see this icon. This is the inking icon.

If you click on it you have the option to use a Whiteboard or do a Fullscreen Snip. Fullscreen Snips are great for webpages that you might want to mark-up, while the Whiteboard works just like a Whiteboard and pen.  The three dots let you learn more about the inking options and change your pen options.

​Your laptop will flip back into a tablet mode which makes these inking capabilities very helpful.

You can change how certain attachments open.  Follow the directions to set your defaults.

1.  In the search bar type "Default Apps", and click to open.

2.  Scroll down until you see "Web Browser" and click on the plus and choose Chrome (or whichever, browser you prefer).

3.  Next scroll down a little further and find "Choose default apps by file type".  (Please do not change all of these.  Only the ones mentioned below.)

4.  Scroll down and anywhere that you see "Edge" you can change those to "Chrome" (or leave them if Edge is your browser of choice.)

5.  Scroll down to the "P's", change the ones listed below to "Adobe Acrobat".  (This will make it so PDF's open in Adobe and not as a Google Chrome link.)

Outlook (both in the app and online) will default to Microsoft Edge as the program to open links in.  The following directions will walk you through changing the default program.  (This is different than just changing the default browser in the "default apps" sections.

1.  Open the Outlook app.  This can be found by going to "Start" on the right-hand side you will see "Microsoft Office".

2.  Click on the "Outlook" app. 

3.  Once Outlook is open click on "File" in the top left corner, and then on "Options".

4.  On the new window that opens click on "Advanced".

5.  Go down four sections to, "File and browser preferences".  Where is says "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in:" choose "Default Browser".  If it hasn't been changed that will say "Microsoft Edge.  If you haven't set your Default Browser in the "default apps" section, this will default back to Edge.

6.  Click "Ok" and close the windows.
