In Pictures: 8 ways to customise Windows 8

Here are eight ways that you can customise your installation of Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

Activate SkyDrive

SkyDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage service. There’s a SkyDrive app listed on the Start Metro panel. Through it, you can upload files to the cloud -- to storage space on your SkyDrive user account -- and download files you’ve stored on it to your local computer. Conveniently, you can access your SkyDrive files from another computer (whether it’s running Windows 8 or another OS) through a Web browser. Microsoft offers 25GB of space on SkyDrive for free. All you have to do is log in with a Windows Live or Hotmail account, or sign up for either service for free.
