Windows users all over the world seem to love Windows 10 for its eye-catchy looks and extraordinary performance with having an interface that looks like a hybrid product of both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. The upgrade to Windows 10 by Microsoft is one of the biggest upgrades to its OS so far. However, you might be aware of the fact that Microsoft released an upgrade of Windows 10 to all the genuine users of Windows 7, 8 & 8.1.
It is not available for free to those users who are not genuine Windows users previously. Let’s have an overlook of Windows 10.
What’s New To Install Windows 10?
Windows 10, as I mentioned above, is a hybrid version of both Windows 8 and 7. Windows 8 did not get much of a success as Windows 7 and Windows XP did. Users are too much accustomed to have a Start button to get things done or to search.
Those who were using XP or Windows 7 already did not like the Windows 8 OS and so, Windows 8 can be considered as a slight failure software from Microsoft.
As the scenario is clearly understood, Microsoft made a hybrid product Windows 10 to attract all its customer without compromising the loyal users of either Windows 7 and 8. As Windows XP is dead, there’s no free upgrade to Windows 10 from XP.
Anyways, let us look at what’s new in Windows 10.
A Fresh and New Interface
As we had experienced a completely different interface from Windows 7 to Windows 8, Microsoft had again entirely changed the interface to a very new, fresh and eye-catchy interface for the users to fall in love with.
A Start Button – Again after Windows 7
Windows 8 did not have a start button. And this time in Windows 10, Microsoft did put a start button which can access all the used files or folders or applications etc. It makes all our work easy by providing us the options to go-to Settings, File Explorer, or look at all the Apps etc. On the right-hand sidebar, you can also see a few most used tabs under the label “Life at a Glance”.
Below that, you also have a section by the label “Play and explore” under which you can see many software’s, apps and other folders which you might want to access.
Cortana For Windows – Virtual Assistant
Like we have Cortana on Android and Windows Phone’s, we now have it on Windows 10. You can search the Web or your local folders using the Search button available on your taskbar. Or you can also access it using voice commands.
Action Center
You can also see Action Center on the taskbar to the right edge. All the notifications from apps will be stored there until you clear them.
Below that, you have a multitude of options to choose from. You can check it in the below screenshot taken on my Laptop running on Windows 10.
A Rich Interface For Settings
Windows 10 settings menu completely varies from Windows 8 or 7 and gives us a very classy, rich and an extraordinary interface.
The Settings Menu might be a little tricky in the beginning as you’re new to it. Once you start using Windows 10 and exploring it, you’ll find it to be much easier than it was in the previous versions.
Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10, let us know how you like it? What your experiences are and also how you feel it running on your machine. As I’m using Windows 10 on my Laptop, I am experiencing a faster battery drain compared to Windows 8.1.
