Adding tiles to the Start menu
There are several apps tiles included in the Start menu when you first turn on your Windows 10 computer. In designing Windows 10, Microsoft bet that these would be the most commonly used and useful tiles, but you can also choose which apps you prefer to pin to the Start menu.
Add a new tile to the Start menu
Click the Start button.
Right-click an app in the apps list.
Click Pin to Start.

TIP
Don’t need an app tile on your Start menu anymore? You can remove an app tile by right-clicking it in the Start menu, and then, in the shortcut menu that opens, click Unpin From Start.
