To get to your calculator firstly
start of by clicking the windows start button at the bottom left of the screen.
You then want to go to all programs. From there you want to go to accessories.
Once
you open this you will then see a menu for many different accessories, the one
we’re looking for is the calculator. It has a symbol of a calculator next to
the text to help you find it.
