Windows 10 – Is it as perfect as the number 10?
On 29th July 2015, Microsoft has finally released the last version of windows which is the windows 10 codenamed as threshold. And now we can finally get it into our homes. This year Microsoft has added a lot of special things to this version of windows and it has been the reason for so much of hype. The best thing about this year’s windows 10 release is that it can be upgraded for FREE, yes you heard that right, windows 10 is free to download to all those people who currently have genuine versions of windows 7 and windows 8 and windows 8.1. I think this is one of the best marketing techniques Microsoft has come up with in the last few years. So, this one is going to be the last version of windows which means no more windows 11 or windows 12. And Microsoft has planned to give updates to the windows 10 after an every few months rather than creating new windows.
Microsoft’s thinks 10 is a perfect number and there is nothing more perfect than 10 so that is why they want to end the version number of windows at windows 10 and that is their reason for making it the last windows release. windows 10 is the most anticipated windows till date as we lost our start menu in the windows 8, a lot of people are still using windows 7 for the sole reason and with the release of windows 10 we will get our start menu back and that is the best thing about windows 10 for those people who are still on windows 7 for the reason of start menu. The start menu in windows 10 is dynamic and is much more advanced than we saw in window 7. It features all the same things as usual and moreover features the same live tiles which we saw on the windows 8. So, we can say it is the mix of the old and the new to make something even more useful. Start menu is customizable and user friendly, it is simple in looks and brings back the feeling of windows 7 start menu. The live tiles work the same way as they used to on windows 8 and looks beautiful on the new start menu. The Search is smartly added just besides the start menu and works perfectly fine. It can be used to search anything throughout the system or the internet just from your task bar.
Cortana, the windows assistant software can be accessed from the same search bar but it is not currently available in all countries like India. For people who can’t wait to use Cortana in India, they can simple go their setting and change their current region to United States and you will be able to use it. windows 10 comes with amazing features like task view, it display all the windows which are opened by zooming out so that we can look at a glance to what all things are opened and switch windows easily, it makes it very simple and is a very handy feature by Microsoft. It even allows you to create separate desktops so that you can open different things on each desktop to avoid any complications.
The Tablet mode is another feature which I liked on the windows 10; it completely changes the user interface of windows 10 into a tablet like look. It creates an interface as we find on tablets and removes the start menu and instead open the home screen we can find in windows 8. Even on a non-touch screen laptop it feels great to use it. Microsoft has added a new sidebar on the right side of the window called the notification panel, it is the most useful feature as it provides all the toggles to quickly do things like connecting to wifi and changing brightness and turning off Bluetooth, location, battery saver, tablet mode and you can see all your current notification above these toggles.
Also this windows brings a new browser to the interface called Microsoft edge, so you get two browsers pre-installed on windows 10 – edge and internet and explorer. Edge is a very elegant browser, the browser’s interface is clean and it looks very simple. But unlike internet explorer maybe this one actually hit the market. Internet explorer is disgraced by people because of the lagging issues we faced a few years back but now after a lot of updates it has improved and become a lot better than what it was back then. Microsoft edge provides a new place for writing, reading and researching on the internet. It allows users to scribble over web pages to make notes and read distraction free on the reading modes of the browser and with the help of Cortana you’re built in personal assistant you can get instant results and information. windows 10 will also add a lot of built in apps like maps, photos, mail, music, films & TV and onedrive.
The new windows 10 brings a lot of new things with it and carries a lot of amazing feature more than 10 and which can answer to our question that it is really as perfect as number 10. The upgrade to windows 10 is fairly easy, you just need to go to the website and reserve one for yourself and when the version is available in your country you can download it and install it for free. The download file is of 3GB and only those people who have genuine windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 can download it. I will recommend it to everyone to get hands on the new windows 10 and explore all the new features inside the windows 10.
