Use Tablet mode on your Samsung laptop or notebook

As the name suggests, Tablet mode lets you use your Windows 10 laptop or notebook like a tablet, making your apps accessible with a simple tap. Even if you don’t have a removable or foldable keyboard, you can still use Tablet mode on any Samsung laptop or notebook as long as you have Windows 10 as your operating system.

Make your Windows 10 laptop or notebook touch-friendly by turning on Tablet mode. Click the Action Center icon on far right of the taskbar; it looks like a chat bubble. Then, click Tablet mode to turn it on.
