How to Relocate the Taskbar
The Windows taskbar is a toolbar located at the bottom of your screen. When you run applications on your Windows PC, their icons show up in the taskbar so that you can quickly switch back and forth between different windows. The taskbar also houses the date and time display on the far right side of the screen. If you want, you can move the taskbar to a different location than its default (at the bottom of the screen).
