to roam your personalization settings and to provide single sign-on for Windows Live
services. To learn more about connecting a Microsoft account to your domain account, see
Connect your Microsoft account to your domain account at
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/connect-microsoft-domain-account.
Creating a picture password
Customization note: This section contains guidance and/or information that can be
customized, or deleted entirely if it does not apply to your organization’s environment.
In Windows 8.1 Update, you can use a picture password to sign in to your computer as an
alternative to other sign-in methods. With a picture password, you draw gestures over parts
of a picture that are important or memorable to you, and then use those gestures to sign
in.
14. 14 | Explore Windows 8.1 Update
Using a picture password to sign in is quick and convenient, but there are a few security
considerations that you should keep in mind:
When you’re using a picture password in a public place, be conscious that others may
be observing you when you sign in.
When you’re projecting for a meeting, you can still use a picture password. On-screen
feedback is disabled, so others at the meeting can’t see your gestures.
You should change your picture password as regularly as you change your network
password.
You’re limited to three incorrect attempts before you must sign in by using your
network password.
To learn how to create a picture password, see the tutorial Personalize your PC at
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/personalize-pc-tutorial.
Using OneDrive and OneDrive for
Business
If you’re using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 with Windows 8.1, you can easily
share files by using Microsoft OneDrive. However, consumer online storage services such as
OneDrive are only for personal use. We recommend that you don’t store business
information on OneDrive.
To share business files, use Microsoft OneDrive for Business instead. By using OneDrive for
Business, you can sync your work-related files from Microsoft SharePoint Online to your
local device.
For more information, see Share documents or folders in OneDrive for Business at

Getting started with Internet Explorer 11
Customization note: This section contains guidance and information about Enterprise
Mode IE (EmIE) which may not apply to your organization’s environment or installation
scenario. Customize or delete any information that does not apply to your organization.
Internet Explorer 11 offers both touch-optimized and legacy web- browsing experiences.
The new release of Windows 8.1 Update includes improved compatibility tools for Internet
Explorer 11 including Enterprise Mode IE (EmIE). With EmIE, specified sites are interpreted in
a special browser configuration that was designed to avoid common compatibility
problems with web apps that were written and tested specifically on older versions of
Internet Explorer, particularly Internet Explorer 7 and 8. EmIE allows Enterprises to safely
move to the latest version of Internet Explorer while allowing additional time for legacy
apps to be converted to modern standards.

In Internet Explorer 11, websites take advantage of features such as the Start screen,
charms, and Snap (the ability to open and "snap" multiple applications to the viewing
screen). Internet Explorer 11 looks similar to previous versions, but the tabs, favorites, and
navigation bar are now located on the bottom of the screen.
Open a website
1. On the Start screen, tap or click the Internet Explorer tile.
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen. With a mouse, right-click in the browser
window. With a keyboard, press the Windows logo key +Z.
The address bar appears at the bottom of the screen. By default, Internet Explorer
displays tiles for tabs with previews of open webpages.
3. Enter a URL in the address bar, or tap or click the New Tab button to open a new
tab. Internet Explorer 11 supports up to 100 tabs per window.
Pin a website to the Start screen for fast access
1. Open the site that you want to pin.
16. 16 | Explore Windows 8.1 Update
2. On the navigation bar, tap or click the Favorites button, and then tap or click the Pin to
Start button.
A tile for the site appears.
3. Rename the tile or select a different tile picture if you want, and then tap or click Pin to
Start.
Open a new tab
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen. With a mouse, right-click in the browser
window. With a keyboard, press the Windows logo key +Z.
2. Tap or click the New Tab button in the upper-right corner of the navigation area (or
press Ctrl+T).
A list of frequently visited sites appears above a blank address bar at the bottom of the
window. Tap or click the Favorites button to see your favorites.
3. Type a new URL in the address bar, and then tap or click the arrow button. As an
alternative, you can tap or click a frequently visited or pinned site. Internet Explorer
adds the site as a tab above the navigation area.
To switch between multiple tabs:
1. To see a new tab, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. With a mouse, right-click in
the browser window. With a keyboard, press the Windows logo key +Z.
2. Tap or click the tab that you want to view. Alternatively, you can open the first 10 tabs
by typing Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+10 on a keyboard.
Using Enterprise Mode IE (EmIE)
Most legacy line of business sites within the Enterprise should already be specified to open
using EmIE with no user action. But if local control is enabled, and you need to use EmIE
mode, it can be accessed either from the Tools menu or through F12 developer tools
1. From Internet Explorer 11, click Tools.
17. 17 | Explore Windows 8.1 Update
2. Click Enterprise Mode.
3. The page will switch to enterprise mode and the EmIE logo will appear to the left of the
address bar.
4. To exit EmIE mode, click Tools and click Enterprise Mode to deselect it.
NOTES:
EmIE works by disabling newer features of Internet Explorer 11, it should not be used as a
regular browser mode, but only when required for compatibility.
If you accessed EmIE through F12 Developer tools, EmIE mode will only persist during the
current session.
