Long awaited Windows 10 is finally out now but it is a big concern to Windows 7 & 8 lovers whether they should upgrade to Windows 10 or not? Believe me, Windows 10 is the best Windows OS ever because of its Touchscreen + Desktop UI. You will get a very good feel while using Windows 10.
Start Menu was too much missed in Windows 8 because it was very difficult for users to navigate between Start Screen every time they have to move away from home screen to access Start Menu. It may feel awkward to most of the users who were huge fan of Start Menu custom but Windows 10 comes with all new Start Menu with new features which can be said as a modified version of Windows 7 Start Menu. Like Windows 8 Start Screen, Windows 10 Start menu will come with Live Tiles too. Users can easily customize it to either cover little portion of screen or cover half-screen. Designers have done very well in designing the brand new Start Menu, when you press press the windows button it will popup the menu, and at the right side of the menu you find programs listed which will be categorized like Windows 7; pinned programs will be at the top of the menu and later, most visited programs will follow it. On the right side, you will find the feel of Windows 8 Start Screen which will contain Live Tiles which can be customized same as Windows 8.
So, if you were great fan of Windows 7 Start Menu and loved Windows 8 Start Screen too then you will love Windows 10 too much.
Windows apps were missed in Windows versions before Windows 8. It was a revolution in the PC World because until Windows 8, it was only available either for Phones or Tablets but with Windows 8, users were able to use same apps like Windows Phones and now they can get real time notifications. They use less internet too and they can play their favorite games which they loved in Windows Phones. Windows 8 users were able to use apps in cascade view but it was awkward to use but in Windows 10, you can use as many apps you want with the Desktop. They are shown as tiles and can be used simultaneously which gives better experience to users such as businessmen, who can see their stock rates and can work on their Word document together while watching their favorite movie.
Virtual Desktop was much loved by Developers all over the globe. Until now, it was only available for Mac OS which allows user to view apps or desktop to multiple screen. They can navigate among apps using Alt + Tab. It will be loved by most of the people because of the ease of access.
Cortana is the best feature that came with Windows 10. It is a personal assistant and can save too much time. It is pretty similar to Apple Siri which was the first perfect voice assistant which was available to do almost every simple task. Same as Apple Siri, Cortana works with Desktop as well as Bing Search. Whenever the user searches anything Cortana starts finding it on the Desktop as well search it on Internet using Bing as well. You will find Cortana button along with Start Menu button. By clicking it, Cortana will welcome you by saying Hello and will show top stories.
DirectX 12 is an application program interface (API) which is used for graphics purpose. Until now DirectX 11 served well for applications as well as entertainment purpose. Windows 10 is launched with the all new DirectX 12 which provides better image quality. Now users will be able to play latest games which supports DirectX 12.
After Cortana, Edge Browser is another big improvement in Window 10. Now Internet Explorer has evolved into Edge. It has got very good improvement and is much better than Internet Explorer. You will get better speed. You can use extensions of Firefox and Chrome in Edge Browser which will help users to to get the benefits of the best browsers.
Windows 10 will be last version of Windows and it will receive regular updates but at last Windows 10 is best Windows version ever. Every Windows user must check it out.
Cortana and return of the START menu should count as the important positive things as far as Windows 10 is concerned. Another great addition is the Edge browser which is touted as the next biggest thing that would come with Windows 10.
