I am using Windows 8.1. Why when I preview my h1 I get a browser window with the Index.html which is a link?

The Index.html link when selected takes me into my h1 preview - but why do I have this extra step?

No. The video tutorial although on a mac & i'm PC shows when the preview icon is selected it opens the results up instantly in the browser window. However, I get a link .html file I have to select to open up a 2nd browser window in order to see my workspace result - so it's 2 browser windows in order to see 1 result.

Are you saying why do you need to have the preview in a different window?

The exact same thing happened to me. I found that if I lowercased the I in index it fixed the problem. So change it from Index.html to index.html.
