If
you don’t like the arrangement of Live tiles on the Start screen, it’s
easy to redecorate. The tiles are all swappable, so you can stack them
in whatever way makes the most sense to you. You can also pin favorite
apps, contacts, or websites to Start so that they’re always just a tap
away. (A couple of obvious candidates for promotion to the Start screen
are the Office and Maps apps, which are hidden away on the Apps list.)
1. Rearrange the Tiles
On the Start screen, press and hold a tile until it begins to float.
Drag the tile to a new spot with your finger, and then tap the tile to complete the move.
To remove a tile from Start, tap Unpin.

3.4.2. Pin an App to Start
On the Start screen, flick left to the Apps list or tap the arrow.
Press and hold the app you want to pin.
Tap Pin To Start.
Tip:
One quirk of Windows
Phone: Games are the only apps that don’t appear in the Apps list.
You’ll find them in the Games hub, under Collection, instead.
