The WinKey button is usually located on the bottom left of the keyboard (top right on some laptops) between the CTRL and Alt keys
The + symbol indicates that you need to hold down the preceding key / keys. For example WinKey + E indicates that the windows key should held down whilst the “E” key is tapped just once. CTRL + SHIFT + A indicates that both the “CTRL” and “SHIFT” keys need to be held down whilst tapping once the “A” key.
