Turn on Tablet in Windows 10 - How to Enable Tablet Mode in Windows 10

Tablet mode feature in Windows 10 is for Touch-Friendly devices, it gives you the Start Screen instead of Start Menu.

One of the biggest issue in Windows 8 that troubles users is its Metro style Start Screen. Microsoft tries to fix that problem with a separate full-screen tablet mode in Windows 10.

Tablet mode is a new feature that should automatically activate (if you want it to) when you detach a tablet from its base or dock. The Start menu then goes full screen as do Windows Store apps and Settings.

You can switch between Tablet Mode and Desktop Mode by following 3 simple methods, which are as follows:

First Method: 1. Go to Start Menu then Click on Settings 2. Now Click on System 3. Then Click on Tablet Mode 4. Change Option from Off to On at When I Sign in

Second Method: 1. Right click on Start Menu then click on RUN 2. Type Regedit and hit OK 3. Now go to == HKEY_CURRENT_USER == SOFTWARE == Microsoft == Windows == CurrentVersion == ImmersiveShell

Now Double Click on TabletMode and change its value to 1 from 0

After doing that you will converted to Tablet Mode.

Third Method: 1. Click on Action Center at Taskbar 2. Now click on Tablet Mode and now you are done.

This third method is the easiest method of all for switching between Tablet Mode and Desktop Mode.

之前為大家測試 Windows 10 係平板上的功能時，就為大家測試過唔同的手勢操控，不過當時就未能測試得到平板及桌面電腦模式的自動切換功能。今日 Edward 就借到部 Microsoft Surface Pro 3 來測試此功能，發覺反應好快之餘，真係好方便！以下就同大家分享一下試用感受。

係分享感受前，先同大家講講切換模式嘅實試情況同埋步驟啦！

平板 –> 桌面模式

▲首先，你要有一部 Microsoft Surface 系列的平板，連同原廠磁吸式鍵盤。

▲當插上鍵盤時，Windows 10 右下角會問你是否離開平板電腦模式（進入桌面電腦模式），如是點按「Yes」。

▲見到 Start 目錄表，就知道已切換至桌面電腦模式了。

桌面 –> 平板模式

▲大家可以見到 Surface Pro 3 現正在桌面電腦模式，並已裝上鍵盤。

▲當拔開鍵盤時，同樣 Windows 10 右下角會問大家是否進入平板電腦模式。如是請按「Yes」。

▲見到動態磚介面，就知道已進入平板電腦模式了！

感受：反應快！超好用

之前的 Windows 10 試用文章，筆者都已經提及 Windows 10 可說是 Windows 8 系列的「撥亂反正」 OS 版本，因為佢係平板同桌面電腦之間的定位唔再係「唔偷唔水」四不像，加上今次呢個自動切換模式，就更加令 Edward 感受到呢一點，最少拔走鍵盤後，由於所有按鍵都大咗，所以用手指操控會比較容易唔驚襟錯制；而當接駁鍵盤後，又可以用 TouchPad 及鍵盤操控電腦，整個桌面空間亦感覺像是大了很多，超級實用。另外試用自動切換模式幾次後，Edward 覺得個反應都幾快，基本上 1 秒左右已經完成切換過程，中間唔太覺有任何 delay 或窒的情況，呢一點係抵讚嘅！

想知效果係點？睇睇下面嘅實試片大家就知道啦！

小貼士：唔想次次襟「Yes」無難度

可能大家會覺得，次次自動轉換使用模式個時都要襟個「Yes」制，真係好麻煩，有冇得真正唔洗襟制都可以做到自動切換？答案係得嘅！只要大家進入設定的平板電腦模式（Tablet mode），然後在「When this device automatically switches tablet mode on or off」的選項中，選擇「Don’t ask me and always switch」就可以了。他日如果要更改設定，再進入此介面更改即可。
