Best Answer

Windows 8 already runs multiple programs at a time. more than 2. If you mean changing between apps, you have to swipe in from the right side of the screen to change apps, or if you are using a mouse and keyboard you have to move your mouse into the top left corner and slide the mouse down the left edge of the screen to show open apps. You can click on one to switch to it or right click it for other options
