I just got my Microsoft Surface Tablet. So far it rocks, but I would like to be able to get to the main screen that shows date/time and background image (or, the "Lock Screen"). Thus far I have only been able to get there by hitting the power button twice. Is there a way to get there without hitting the power button?

What is called the Lock Screen is available using the profile icon in the top right corner of the Start screen. Simply click it and click "Lock":

Alternatively, if you have a keyboard attached, Windows+L will end in the same result.

This screen is called the "Lock Screen". It is shown when your computer is locked.

To lock your computer, you can:

  1. Go to the start screen, click your name in the top-right corner, and choose "Lock". enter image description here
  2. Or, press Windows + L.

You can customize your lock screen through the "Personalize" settings page.

First activate the "Settings" Charm and choose "Change PC Settings":
