Lightspeed Systems Mobile Manager Offers Immediate Support for Microsoft
(Microsoft skipped Windows 9, by the way, as though to distance itself from Windows 8 and its criticisms.).
On July 29, Windows 10 will be released to users across 190 countries in phases.
Interestingly, to get the full Solitaire experience on Windows 10 – sans advertisements – you’ll have to pay US$1.49 a month for a premium version. But that’s just because of the numbers.
Windows 10 comes with new features that make it an attractive upgrade.
A Truly Cross-Device OS? However, the process to install and obtain could vary depending on the Operating system your computer is now on.
So we have a cross-device OS, but no smartphones to actually take advantage of that. And any Windows 10 PC app can be tweaked to run on a phone too. Microsoft is offering Windows Update for Business to help IT professionals keep Windows devices always up to date with the latest security defenses and Windows features.
Fears of the side effects of Microsoft’s new update policy came true when several Insider testers complained that NVIDIA’s new 353.54 driver broke their otherwise smooth running PCs.
To appease users who complained about the loss of the “start” button on Windows 8, Microsoft has brought that feature back, while allowing users to switch back to the “live tiles” menu. Honestly, not much is different, except for a few cosmetic changes. Sure, the fancy new Settings app has a shiny new face with snazzy icons, but the same problems still exist as with Windows 8 – there are two freaking places on this computer to control the same thing! Microsoft is unaware of a world with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox or Opera.
If you’re still running Windows XP, the free offer won’t apply and an upgrade will cost £99. Wake up, MS! Most of these devices feature less than 1GB of RAM and there are hardware limitations needed to run Windows 10 Mobile properly, but the same can not be said for other high-end Lumias.
Microsoft was left licking its wounds after what many agreed was a dog’s dinner that was known as Windows 8. “Along with our partners, we’re excited to deliver the best Windows ever, which will empower people and organizations around the world to do great things”, Terry Myerson, executive vice president, Windows and Devices Group of Microsoft, said, as quoted in Microsoft’s website. Microsoft and PC makers want to erase the memory of the last big update, 2012’s Windows 8, which alienated many with its jarring, unwieldy design.
If you get the following error when trying to activate Windows 10, don’t panic: “Error code: 0xC004C003”. You can do this via Windows Update, or if Windows Update isn’t playing ball you can use the direct download tool: English/German/French/Italian/Dutch. But it’s not revolutionary. Some programs written for even older versions of Windows may work on Windows 10 without an issue.
