How to find SharePoint 2013 Central Administration

I know that I'll be laughing about this post in the future, but I've got to be perfectly honest and tell you that it took me nearly 20 minutes to figure out how to access SharePoint 2013 Central Administration in my new Windows 2012 Server environment.  Here two different methods that I finally stumbled upon ways that will make this happen:

Method 1:
  1. Log on to your Windows 2012 Server environment
  2. Click on the center of the screen
  3. Move your mouse to the upper right corner of the screen and a panel will appear on the far right side of the screen
  4. Click on the Search icon

  5. Locate the Microsoft SharePoint 2013 section
  6. Click on the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration icon


Method 2:
  1. Log on to your Windows 2012 Server environment
  2. Click on the center of the screen
  3. Move your mouse to the upper right corner of the screen and a panel will appear on the far right side of the screen
  4. Click on the Start icon


  5. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and right click
  6. Click on the All Apps icon


  7. Locate the Microsoft SharePoint 2013 section
  8. Click on the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration icon
If it makes things easier, you can pin this icon to the Start page or Taskbar by replacing steps 6 and 8, respectively, as follows:
  1. Right-click on the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration icon 
  2. Click on the appropriate pin option icon
