I bought a dell laptop which comes without o/s, so I buy Windows 8.1 DVD and install in the new machine.
The problem is, every time when I am doing something, Windows popup a Black bar on the right hand side showing some basic buttons (Search, Share, Start, Devices, Settings), a small popup also appear on the bottom right showing current time, Wifi signal and battery life.
I pops 10-15 times within an hour. Its really frustrating when I am typing something or filling some password etc and atonce my focus from the current screen removes and I see that annoying black menu.
I even don't know this menu name.
Can an expert help me removing this menu.
Thanks in advance
That menu is called the Charms bar, and appears when you move the mouse to the top or bottom right corners and keep it there for a few seconds.

I have windows 10 installed. I open many application at once for my work and I can access then form my task bar. Task is at right side of the screen but it do not show all the icons at once instead it show a scroll bar. I have increased the width of taskbar still it is not showing all icons. Is there any other setting needs to be changed?
Please refer screenshot below.
The answer is: no, you cannot - at least not for the application icons pinned directly to the taskbar. If you add another symbols folder to the task bar, then you can do this, see:

I never used a vertical taskbar before on Windows (maybe you come from Ubuntu Unity desktop?), but I just tried the idea from the first link and it works. Here is a screenshot from my experiment:
In combination with small taskbar symbols you could achieve a more compact view.
Another option is to deactivate the title (here: "Desktop") and symbol titles for the taskbar folder, then it looks like this:

In windows 10 home I want to use 2 monitors with 1 or 2 desktops.
As when we use extent 1 monitor has the desktop icons and the other has only the taskbar and we can only drag the things to that screen.
Is that possible that I can give the whole access to both of the monitors?
Quick Answer - No.
You cannot (as of right now) run two virtual desktops on two screens.
But, with a quick Google search I have found some 3rd party solutions that can virtualize this feature.
Other than that - you can Right click on the Taskbar and enter to Taskbar Settings - there you can find a few other Settings (for both the taskbar and the icons) that might help you achieve something close to you original request.

Normally to drag I
Click on item to drag
Hold down with one finger
Then do dragging motion with another finger
Now when I click on an item a popup shows up showing a window into the content of the file. So now I cannot move a file from one folder to another. Does anyone know the fix for this issue?
If I enable three-finger dragging then it takes away my ability to use three-fingers to slide between screens.
Sounds like you've got a Mac with a force-sensitive trackpad and you're pushing hard enough to trigger Quick Look. Don't push as hard to get a regular click; you can disable "Force Click and haptic feedback" in Trackpad System Preferences.

How could I switch off primary Macbook screen?
I'm working with 2 External via Thunderbolt and HDMI on new Retina Macbook.
I want to switch off retina display and work just with external monitors without closing the cover of my laptop. Is there any setup option for that? I didn't find it under Preferences.
It seems to be possible to sleep display so by I/O Kit:
http://explanatorygap.net/2009/01/31/a-screensaver-to-send-your-display-to-sleep/
But I am not sure whether it can control single monitors.
you are searching for the 'clamshell' mode. the only way i get this to work is to wake my mac with external keyboard while the lid stays closed
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
This worked like a charm on my old macbook (late 2008) with opening the lid again and the screen stays off until 'force' detecting it...
however, my retina display also wakes when in clamshell and then being opened.
There is a reason to this: Heat.
Aluminium macbooks can get really hot, especially since the vents are in the back and blowing the heat up in front of the opened display. Your retina macbook shuts itself down at about 110°C to 130°C, but please be careful.

Is there a way to move window with a mouse after clicking on window (any zone) holding some key like command / control / alt in MacOS X Lion?
So the process is like:
you click on a window while holding command
do not leave the mouse button, move mouse
with mouse selected window is moving
I had this option in Linux and that was very useful.
Thanks.
Coming from someone who also got very used to this functionality under Linux, I also spent some time looking for a tool to do this after getting a Mac. I don't believe that this is possible out of the box.
I use a product named Hyperdock (9.95 USD) to facilitate this. In addition to some other functionality that I don't use (window previews, iTunes extensions, etc), it includes options for moving and resizing windows with left mouse button + hotkey. It's not free, but it's the only tool I've been able to find that provides this functionality.
