Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. Windows 10 unlocks new experiences for customers to work, play and connect. Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide. Some of these devices have 4 inch screens – some have 80 inch screens – and some don’t have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily use touch/pen, others mouse/keyboard, others controller/gesture – and some devices can switch between input types. Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time. It will be our most comprehensive platform ever.
What’s New in Windows 10
1) Start Menu is Back: The familiar true Start menu is back, but it brings with it a new customizable space for your favorite apps and Live Tiles.
2) Snap enhancements: You can now have four apps snapped on the same screen with a new quadrant layout. Windows will also show other apps and programs running for additional snapping and even make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open apps.
3) Everything runs in a window: Apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop apps do and can be resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing for maximize, minimize, and close with a click.
4) Multiple desktops: Create desktops for different purposes and projects and switch between these desktops easily and pick up where you left off on each desktop.
5) New task view button: There’s a new task-view button on the taskbar for quick switching between open files and quick access to any desktops you create.
6) Find files faster: File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.
