Fresh off from its release last July 29, Windows 10 is a hit. Experts and businesses that sell laptops and PC’s generally have a positive review about the newest Microsoft system. It’s not a secret that there’s a lot on the line for the company with this release. It’s exactly what the leading software manufacturer needs to come back from the disastrous Windows 8. Even during its technical preview release, beta testers and developers have provided favorable feedback about the new system. Now, every Windows user can enjoy the new features and benefits of Windows 10.
Here are five to get excited about:
- The Start Menu is back.
Answering consumers’ demand, the Start Menu is back with a vengeance. The current Start Menu is visually the same as what you can see on Windows 7, but it features a universal search bar that can pull search results from the Word Wide Web. By default, the tiled app shortcuts seen on Windows 8 will also show up in the new Start Menu.
- An enhanced touchscreen integration is showcased.
Windows 8 was the software giant’s strongest effort in developing a unified user experience through desktops, mobile phones, and tablets running a Windows OS. The new Windows 10 improves this effort exponentially with a more streamlined touchscreen feature. This also signifies the entry of Microsoft in the realm of the “convertibles.”
This means you can disregard the keyboard on your convertible tablet. When you remove it, a command prompt will show up to verify if you would like to use the tablet mode using its touchscreen feature. As convertibles increasingly gain popularity and notebooks progressively integrate touchscreens, the necessity for an effective operating system for both units is likewise growing. The sleeker touchscreen on the Windows 10 solves this concern.
- A new Task View is up.
Windows 10 features a contemporary multitasking function called Task View, which lets users view all open programs at the same time. While this option has already been available in OS X and Linux for quite a while now, it’s the first time for Microsoft to add this function. The MS version of the Task View lets users build virtual desktops and effortlessly switch between them. For instance, you can make one exclusively for your work tasks, and another for entertainment.
- It features an updated Command Prompt.
Although blatantly underused by non-enterprise Microsoft users, the Command Prompt has acquired a significant update. The Windows 10 Command Prompt allows users to the simplest yet most used command of all: Copy-Paste. This is great news for those working and involved in IT. The Command Prompt also features a smarter text option, help for line-wrapping, and keyboard shortcuts.
- it highlights an improved multitasking function.
Windows 10 features an enhanced Snap View to make it easier for users to manage several programs and tabs at the same time. This is done by enabling you to station four windows to the four corners of the gadget screen all at once. Windows 10 is already available for download. It should be noted that 24 hours after its release, 14 million users have already downloaded the new system.
