 Wherever you are in HoloLens, you can always open the **Start** menu by using Start gesture.  On HoloLens (1st gen) the Start gesture is [bloom](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12644/hololens-use-gestures). On HoloLens 2, the [Start gesture](hololens2-basic-usage.md#navigate-windows-holographic) is to tap the Start icon that appears on your wrist.

At the bottom you'll find the photo and video buttons, which allows you to take photos and video recordings.  There is also a connect button that allows you to project what you see to another device via Miracast.

-## Use apps on HoloLens
+> [!NOTE]
+>Like on a phone, system resources is managed automatically on HoloLens.  For example, as you open a new immersive app, all other running apps will automatically become inactive. There is no need to remove app windows and launchers in mixed reality home to free up system resources. 
+
+## Using apps on HoloLens
 
 Apps on HoloLens can use app window view or immersive view. An app using app window view simply shows its content inside a window. An app using immersive view takes you away from mixed realty home where it can then display its content in the physical environment all around you. 
 
+### Using app windows
+
+On HoloLens (1st gen) app windows are placed and used in mixed reality home, where you can [move, resize, and rotate](hololens1-basic-usage.md#Move,-resize,-and-rotate-apps) them as you like. 
+
+On HoloLens 2, in addition to using app windows in mixed reality home, you can also use one app window at a time inside an immersive app itself. You can also put an app window into **Follow me** mode where it will stay in front of you as you walk around. When you open an app window while inside an immersive app, it will open in **Follow me** mode automatically. You can [move, resize, and rotate](hololens2-basic-usage.md#Move-and-resize-near-by-holograms-and-apps-by-grabbing-them) app windows directly using your hands in both mixed reality home and inside an immersive app.

 > - Each open app can have one active window at a time, except Microsoft Edge, which can have up to three.
-> - If you're having problems with apps, make sure there's enough light in your space, and walk around so HoloLens has a current scan. If you keep having trouble, see [HoloLens and holograms: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13456/hololens-and-holograms-faq) for more info.
 
-## Move, resize, and rotate apps
-
-Moving and resizing apps on HoloLens works a bit differently than it does on a PC. Instead of dragging the app, you'll use your gaze, along with a [gesture](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12644/hololens-use-gestures) or the [clicker](hololens-clicker.md). You can also rotate an app window in 3D space.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Rearrange apps using your voice—gaze at an app and say "Face me," "Bigger," or "Smaller." Or have Cortana move an app for you: say "Hey Cortana, move <*app name*> here."

-## Help! I can’t place holograms on HoloLens
-
-If you’re using HoloLens and having trouble placing holograms, here are some things to try:
-
-- Make sure you’re in a well-lit room without a lot of direct sunlight.
-- Stand 1 to 3 meters from where you’re trying to place the hologram.
-- Don’t place holograms on black or reflective surfaces.
-- Walk around so HoloLens can rescan your surroundings.
