As the end of support for Windows 7 draws closer a quick review of Windows 10 Keyboard shortcuts and virtual desktops is in order.

Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

The Microsoft Window Support page covers general keyboard shortcuts along with the Windows logo key (WLK) keyboard shortcuts.

A few WLK keyboard shorts we use daily include:

The Windows logo key (WLK) is usually placed between the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left side of the keyboard; there may be a second identical key on the right side as well.

Virtual Desktops

Windows 10 virtual desktops provides a simple to use interface to group applications based on a task, a function, or whatever makes sense to you. By putting apps common to a function on one virtual desktop it reduces distractions.
 
For example, when I am working on a client year end, I will put all the programs I need to complete the project on a virtual desktop. On another virtual desktop I will put my daily apps such as email, web browser, Teams and ToDo list. This allows me to concentrate on the client's work without the distractions from all the communications apps.
Picture
To get started with virtual desktops use the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key (WLK)+Tab then at the top click New Desktop or use the keyboard shortcut WLK+Ctrl+D. Now simply drag and drop the apps from one virtual desktop to the other. To switch between virtual desktops, use the keyboard shortcut WLK+Right arrow or Left arrow. To close a virtual desktop, use the keyboard shortcut WLK+Ctrl+F4.
