WIN 8/ WIN 8.1

The issue here is that after a successful install of IBM SPSS Statistics, a lot of customers don't know how to launch SPSS Statistics 22 in Windows OS, especially Windows 8.

Windows  8  does not  have a  “start menu”  like you may be  used to   in  previous  versions of  windows  like  XP, Vista  and  7.

Step-by-step guide

Even though the Start screen lives in a new place, it still lets you launch programs or apps by following these steps:

1. Open the Start Screen. Because there’s no longer a Start button, you can summon the Start screen any of these ways:

   • Mouse: Point your mouse in the screen’s bottom-left corner and then click when the Start icon appears.
   • Keyboard: Press the Windows key.
   • Touchscreen: Slide your finger inward from your screen’s right edge and then tap the Start button.

   The Start screen appears, bringing a screen full of tiles representing many of your apps and programs.

2. If you spot the tile for your program or app, choose it with a mouse click or, on a touchscreen, a tap of a finger. Don’t see a tile for your sought-after program on the Start screen’s list? Move to the next step.

3. Scroll to the screen’s right to see more tiles.The Start screen always opens to display the tiles on its farthest left edge. To see the apps and programs hiding from view, point at the screen’s right edge with your mouse cursor; the rest of the Start screen’s tiles begin scrolling into view.

   If you’re a touchscreen owner, you can view the tiles by sliding your finger across the screen to the left.

   Still don’t see your program or app listed? Head for Step 4.

4. View all your apps.The Start screen shows apps first, followed by desktop programs. But to keep the list from stretching down the hallway, the Start screen doesn’t list everything.

   To reveal them all, right-click a blank part of the Start screen and then choose All Apps. All your apps appear listed by name and icon, followed by alphabetical lists of desktop programs, organized by categories. (Your most recently installed desktop programs always appear on the farthest right edge.)

   To see all your apps on a touchscreen, slide your finger upward from the screen’s bottom edge and click the All Apps icon.
