But, let me tell you, it not. Yup…locking Windows 8 requires a little learning as it is very much different from how we have been locking other OS including Windows 7, Windows 8, and others.

By locking your PC, I mean you are locking the screen so that no one can access you PC while you away from your desk. The system remains signed-in and displays a lock screen. However, to open the lock screen, you have to enter your confidential password.
