Making Tiles Larger or Smaller
Tiles on the Start screen can be displayed at either one- or two-column width. You can change the size of a tile at any time.
Right-click the tile you want to change. (On a touchscreen device, tap and hold the tile.) This adds a check mark to the tile and displays the options bar at the bottom of the screen.
Click or tap Smaller to make a large tile smaller; click or tap Larger to make a small tile larger.

TIP: Live Tiles
Many tiles are “live,” in that they display the current operation or information. For example, the Weather tile displays the current weather conditions, and the Photos tile displays a slideshow of pictures on your computer.
TIP: Turning Off Live Tiles
To turn off a live tile (to display the default tile icon), right-click the tile to change; this adds a check mark to the tile and displays the options bar at the bottom of the screen. Click or tap Turn Live Tile Off.
