### Running Applications

Turbo.net applications can be opened using the Portal or, if configured by your administrator, directly from the Start Menu or Applications folder.

#### Portal

To open an application or file, go to the Turbo.net Portal and click on the item you want to open.

By default, items will open and stream inside the web browser. For a better experience, you can open items in one of the Turbo.net native applications by right-clicking on the icon and selecting **Run in Cloud (Windowed)**.

If you are on a PC that meets the application requirements, you also have the option of running the application on your own device. There are no separate installation steps required to run applications once the Turbo.net for PC application is installed.
