I am taking a math course which requires access to a calculator but when I bring up the Windows calculator I have to start it from the search icon which brings up a very nice full screen calculator. I would prefer the older desktop version which I could window to and back.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thank you. Also I realize I need to learn more about Windows 8.1. It appears, also, that I can switch between the desktop and an app by going to the top left corner of the screen. Where can I learn more about this?
... and, again, thank you for your time and knowledge.
