Another good method of getting things done quickly and being more productive under Windows is to use the plentiful keyboard shortcuts which are available.

The main key utilised for shortcuts is the Windows key – which can be used in combination with Tab (to open Task View), any direction key (to snap windows in place), C (to open Cortana), I (to open settings), etc.

The Control key is primarily used for in-app shortcuts like copying and pasting, which can save a ton of time. For more keyboard tricks, check out our guide to the 20 keyboard shortcuts Windows 10 users need to know about.
