Microsoft rolls out Windows 10 operating system

Microsoft will be able to solve any bugs that are discovered during Windows 10’s early days, before all customers receive it.

Also, Microsoft has said that Windows 10 would do away with its old tradition of “Patch Tuesday”, or releasing software updates (including security fixes, as necessary) every Tuesday.

What requirements does my computer need to have to support Windows 10?

Microsoft has already downloaded the files needed to install the Windows 10 upgrade to some people who reserved their copy ahead of time. Microsoft also makes money from selling Windows and other software to large businesses and organizations.

It will be the operating system on Windows devices sold starting Wednesday, the official release date.

Will My PC Run Windows 10?

To check that your computer is capable of handling Windows 10, make sure to click on the Check your PC on the same Windows app. This will help you see if you should expect any issues.

“There are massive headwinds in Microsoft’s bread-and-butter PC business, making it crucial that the Windows 10 cloud approach opens up new growth avenues for the Windows business”, FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note on Monday.

Windows 10 is here – and for the first time in a while, there’s actual excitement about Microsoft’s operating system upgrade. The big difference is in the way Microsoft is going about that.

Apps for Windows 8 were designed to take up the full screen, just like tablets. Onscreen features, like menus and taskbars, adapt for easy navigation. When users tap on a field a keyboard pops-up from the bottom of the screen automatically. It will combine both aspects of the classic Windows 7 start menu with apps from the Metro/Modern UI of Windows 8.

There’s more to appreciate about the operating system too.

INTERNET Explorer has always been at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to usability, speed and compatibility.

The company said that it had retained, fused and improved upon the best features from its more successful Windows 7 and Windows 8 installments. Microsoft estimates three-fourths of the 1.5 billion current Windows devices are eligible. Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise will have a whole different set of options eventually, of course.
