You can find administrative tools in Windows 8 by search, but if you prefer to see them as tiles, a quick setting will place them all on the Start screen.

In Windows 7 (http://www.cnet.com/windows-7/), power users could display administrative tools on the Start menu. Now that Windows 8 (http://reviews.cnet.com/windows-8/) has done away with the Start menu, you might be wondering where they went. If you happen to know the name of the tool you want to use, you can just search for it from the Start screen. If, however, you prefer to see them as tiles, here's how to get them onto your Start screen:
1. Hit the Win+I shortcut to bring up the Settings charm, then select Tiles.
2. Move the slider under "Show administrative tools" to the right so that it says "Yes."

When you go back to the Start screen, you'll see 21 new tiles for administrative tools.
