If you hit the Windows key or start button you'll get taken to the "Modern" start screen. On that screen, in the bottom left corner, there's an arrow pointing down. If you click it you'll see a list of all your installed applications, kind of like the old start menu. This layout is pretty annoying to use with a mouse/touchpad/stylus but is actually pretty good on a touch screen.
You can also press <windows key> + "F" and in the search thing (make sure the pulldown is set to "everywhere") start typing the name of the app you want and it should show up.
If you don't like the new start menu then get "Start8" to get a classic start menu. Or wait a couple more weeks and install windows 10 which has a start menu with a lot of the old features.
