From the Metro start screen, hover the mouse pointer in the lower right corner, and click the magnifying glass icon.

The icons on the Metro start screen are minimized. Right click any of the existing groups. A green checkmark appears in the upper right corner of the group. A menu bar appears at the bottom too, click Name Group.

Now name the group whatever you want it to be called. Then long press or click the icons you want to move into the groups you’ve created.
