Cortana:

Cortana is your clever new personal assistant.

Cortana will help you find things on your PC, manage your calendar, track packages, find files, chat with you, and tell jokes. The more you use Cortana, the more personalized your experience will be.

To get started, type a question in the search box on the taskbar. Or select the microphone icon and talk to Cortana. (Typing works for all types of PCs, but you need a mic to talk.)

Here are some things you can say to Cortana:

• How old are you?

• Tell me a joke.

• Show me the latest NBA scores.

• How many calories in a boiled egg?

• Put swimming on my calendar for tomorrow.

• Change my 3 PM event to 4.

• What’s happening this weekend?

One of the things Cortana can do for you is to give you reminders. For example, type or say, “Remind me to call Alex at 2 PM.” Make the meeting recurring if you want to.

The reminder will appear at 2 PM, along with any info you’ve added to it.

Set Cortana to hear you anytime you say “Hey Cortana.” Select the search box on the taskbar to open Cortana home. Then select Notebook  > Settings  and turn on Let Cortana respond when you say “Hey Cortana.”
