• Option One: Move Apps In or Out of Groups on Start

OPTION ONE

Move Apps In or Out of Groups on Start

2 Click/press and hold on a tile on Start that you want to move, drag the tile to within the same or other group, and drop it where you like. (see screenshots below)

When you move a tile around within a group, the other tiles in the group will automatically move over to make room for the moved tile.

If you move all tiles out of a group, that group will be removed. The tiles will still remain in the group you moved them to.

3 Drag the group to where you like until a group divider bar appears. (see screenshots below)

4 Release the group to drop and move it there. (see screenshot below)
