Click on little "windows logo start" in bottom left corner.

A window opens up - for me, I get "menu icon" (three horizontal bars?) in top left corner of this window.

Opens sign off for user, or Power choice.

This really reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode.

I'm sticking with 7 as long as I can. After that it may be Linux.
