How to use Check Boxes to Select Items

In this tutorial we will explain how to use check boxes to select items in Windows 10 and Windows 8. This option does not replace the CTRL key method, but makes it easier to select items without using your keyboard, every file, program and so on will have a small box in the corner which you can check, doing this will make it selected. A good feature on touchscreen devices, at least that´s my opinion.
