In older Windows System operating systems, the Control Panel can be accessed by selecting Control Panel from the Start menu. In Windows 8and Windows 8.1, Microsoft says the Control Panel can be accessed by swiping in from the right side of the screen, tapping Search and entering Control Panel in the search box.
