The Soluto app for Windows 8 is an application that lets you remotely help friends, family and colleagues with their PCs, and helps you get more out of your own PCs too. The Soluto app for Windows 8 has an interface designed specifically for the Windows 8 start screen, and supports the Windows 8 operating system. The Soluto app can be downloaded for free from the Windows 8 store. Just like the Soluto web service, the Soluto app can be used to securely and remotely manage up to 5PCs for free.
How Does the Soluto App Work?
After you download and install the Soluto app from the Windows 8 app store, you can register for a new Soluto account or log in with Facebook, Google, or your Windows Live ID. You can also connect with an existing Soluto account. Once you sign in you’ll see your PC dashboard, and if you’re a current Soluto user you’ll see the PCs that you already manage on your Dashboard. If you’re new to Soluto, you can click “Add Someone” in order to send an invitation for others to install Soluto so that you can help them with their PC from anywhere. To check out what’s happening with a PC you manage, select a PC icon or avatar from the dashboard to view the PC overview and see the Hardware and Apps on the PC. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll learn about the PCs you support using Soluto:
PC Overview: This section includes information such as the PC model, the operating system, and default browser
Hardware: Here you’ll see information about the CPU, RAM, Mainboard, and Graphics. Also, Soluto displays information about the Hard Drives, including storage capacity, available space, and whether the hard drive is fragmented. If a hard drive is fragmented, Soluto lets you remotely defrag the hard drive to free up space and improve PC performance.
Apps: In this section, you’ll see available updates for apps installed on the PC and a selection of apps that can be remotely installed on the PC. By tapping an application, you can see information about the application and can install or update the application one tap. When you choose to install or update an application, it will happen in the background at the right time without disturbing the PC user. You can also choose multiple apps, by swiping on touch machines or right clicking on a PC, and install or update each.
With Soluto, you can help improve PC performance even if the PC is turned off or in another country, and the people being helped don’t need to do anything. Soluto is safe and secure. Soluto can’t see personal files, desktop, or browser history, just the anonymous technical details about the PC’s performance. Download the Soluto Windows 8 app from the Windows 8 store after you install Windows 8, or, if you don’t have Windows 8 yet, download the Soluto web app.
