Sure, there are plenty of advanced image manipulation tools out there these days, but Paint is a Windows mainstay.

Prior to Windows 8, Paint could be found under Start > Programs > Accessories. Due to changes to the user interface in Windows 8/8.1, it's a bit more difficult to locate.

If you can't find Microsoft Paint in Windows 8, follow the steps below and you'll be drawing in no time.

■Log on to the Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer with your user account.
■From the Start screen, hover the mouse to the bottom right corner of the window.
■From the displayed Charms bar, click Search.



■On the Search pane that appears in the right, in the available field, type MSPAINT.



■Click the Paint program that is displayed to initialize the application.
■Start using the program normally.
