If you are still on Windows 7, you are long due for an update! In Australia and worldwide, Microsoft does not support Windows 7 any longer so you may be prone to viruses or malware.
To learn more about Windows 10 and what makes it awesome, read on!
Windows 10 is a new series of Windows operating systems designed by Microsoft and designed as part of its Windows NT line of operating systems. It is the replacement to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. This article will give an overview of Windows 10, what it is like, what you need to have it, how to get it, and how to run it smoothly. Here is what to expect from this operating system:
Action Centre
The main new feature in Windows 10 is the Action Centre. This is basically a quick menu that shows all your recently used programs in a “combined” list. If you double click on an app, such as your email client, internet browser or calculator, the corresponding app will open. This is great if you use several of these programs, as it makes it easier to go through your most used programs and find the one you want to start up.
Start Menu
Another new feature in Windows 10 is the Start Menu, which is much more like the traditional Start Menu that ships with most Windows operating system versions. However, unlike previous versions of Windows, you cannot select specific programs with the Start Menu. Instead, you just get a single “anchor” window which displays all your active windows.
The Start Menu itself includes some new features as well. Above the launch button is a new tile that lets you quickly launch your default web browser. A new tab appears at the bottom of the tile, which you can use to switch between internet browsers. The tile includes many of the same features as the Start Menu tile, such as the colour scheme, the built-in Taskbar, the folder and menu items, the latest apps list, the lock screen and so on. You can even access your Action Centre, which provide quick links to the most frequently used applications, as well as your favourites and search options.
New Explorer
One of the most interesting new features is the new Explorer option in Windows 10. Searching for files and folders in Windows Explorer has been simplified, making it a lot easier to find and access various items. You no longer must click your way through a long list of items, hoping that you might find what you’re looking for. You simply highlight the item you want to view, then choose the “Open with…” option from the menu to launch the program or application. In addition, there are many new features like the pinching tool to zoom in and out, as well as the handy button to clear all your progress.
If you are not quite sure what a virtual desktop is, let me explain. When you create a new session, you start off with a desktop that basically looks and behaves like a minicomputer. You can do all sorts of things, such as starting up multiple windows and browsers, switching between them, creating tabs, managing bookmarks, etc. By using new features such as the Start menu, task bar, and the folder and list views, you will be able to perform many more tasks than you could do in Windows 7. One of the best new features in Windows 10, which has been present in previous versions, is Microsoft’s Live Meeting.
Cloud-based Services
Microsoft’s new cloud-based services, such as its own Office Mobile Platform and the Windows Experience Manager, are also built into Windows 10. These additional tools to help you get more out of your computer experience, especially if you use your machine for work-related tasks, such as spreadsheets and business documents. With the built-in access to Microsoft Office, it is now possible to edit PDFs, edit Word documents and more, as well as access data from any of your external drives. It is impressive how far Microsoft has come with these two additions.
Conclusion
Finally, as we have discussed throughout this article, one of the biggest upgrades you can make to your Windows 10 machine is by installing any of the many excellent mobile apps available for this operating system. Many of these apps, such as LinkedIn, allow you to create and manage your professional network. Some of the more advanced apps, such as the Microsoft OneApp, are designed specifically to take advantage of the new features available in Windows 10, as well as the integration with your Windows 7 machine. By combining these apps with your Windows desktop, you will find yourself spending less time using your laptop or notebook, and more time working on your favourite desktop PC. If you use your computer for work most of the day but want to be mobile at night, you no longer need to worry about whether your laptop will be powerful enough to handle the demands of being connected to the web.
Conclusion
Upgrading your PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is straight forward and simple but can get complicated in some cases as per computertechnicians.com.au/. Either way it is best to get in touch with someone who knows what they are doing rather doing it on your own and makes things worse!
