Start with the widgets - Press the Windows logo key + W to open the widgets board. You can check more widgets at once on your board, just use the expand button in the top right corner. The button will turn into a collapse button for when you want to shrink it. The board will remember the size you set and will open in that same size in the future.  (Amritanshu Mukherjee / HT Tech)
