Fresh off from its release last July 29, Windows 10 is a hit. Experts and businesses selling laptops and PCs generally positively review the newest Microsoft operative system. It’s not a secret that there’s a lot on the line for the company with this release. It’s precisely 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 latest features and benefits of Windows 10.
Here are five features to get excited about:
- The Start Menu is back.
Answering consumers’ demands, 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 World Wide Web. By default, the tiled app shortcuts on Windows 8 will also appear 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 for 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 Microsoft’s entry into the realm of “convertibles.”
This means you can disregard the keyboard on your convertible tablet. When you remove it, a command prompt will appear to verify whether you would like to use the tablet mode’s touchscreen feature. As convertibles gain popularity and notebooks integrate touchscreens, the necessity for an effective operating system for both units is likewise growing. The sleeker touchscreen on 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 simultaneously. While this option has already been available in OS X and Linux for quite a while now, it’s the first time Microsoft has added this function. The MS version of 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 use the most straightforward yet most used command of all: Copy-Paste. This is excellent news for those working and involved in IT. The Command Prompt also features a more brilliant 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. Are you going to be among the early Windows 10 adopters? If so, make sure your current computer supports its features.
