I recently received a Surface Pro 2 from my company. The Pro was set up by our tech and it seems that he set the default start up to the "desktop" view. I have been trying everything I can think of to change the home screen to the tile view but I cannot figure out how to do this. How do I make the default view into the Window's 8 tile view instead of desktop? Thanks!
