PDF Printing

No need to use a third-party source to print your PDFs – you can now do it through the new, innate Microsoft option. Access it by:

1. Opening the PDF you’d like to print
2. Clicking the Print button
3. Choosing the local destination labeled as Microsoft PDF to Print

Battery Saver

If you happen to forget your charger at home, no need to worry. You can use your laptop a little longer with Battery Saver mode. You can find this feature by going to:

• Access your files and documents from the OneDrive mobile app
• Setup OneDrive to allow you to access any file from your PC remotely, even if it hasn’t been placed in the OneDrive folder
