When you want to select a tile on the Start screen, you can hold your finger on a tile until the checkmark appears and the options bar shows at the bottom. To select more than one, simply tap each tile you want and they will all have checkmarks. Using a mouse and keyboard, right-click each tile.
To select more than one tile, hold the CTRL key and click each one you want. Of note, is the ability to resize tiles to one of four possible sizes: small, medium, wide, and large. In the following screenshot, we see all four sizes represented.
Again, if you choose more than one tile when you resize, each tile will default to its largest size. So if a tile can only resize to medium, but you select large for the group, that tile will obviously only expand to medium size while the others that can resize to large will do so. Finally, to move your tiles around, you can simply click or touch, hold, and drag them about.

Luckily, live tiles are easy to disable and best of all you can do so to each individually meaning that if you actually like the way one tile reports information, you can leave that one on while turning others off. As you can see in the above screenshot, tiles then revert to a static image making them much less flashy and distracting.

To name your groups, use the Semantic Zoom feature — hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel down or click the little button at the bottom right corner of your screen, to the right of the horizontal scroll bar.
