Los Angeles Times: Windows 10, features and issues to consider

Windows 10 will also bring back the Start menu that was taken off in Windows 8 and was missed by many Windows users. It’s Microsoft’s way of trying to overhaul Windows for the mobile world – without alienating users by getting rid of everything that’s familiar. It offers consumers a brand new interface that is touch-friendly.

“Some features require access to the system that aren’t now possible with iOS or Android, so things like toggling settings or opening apps won’t initially be available in the Cortana companions for those platforms”, a Microsoft blog post said. Microsoft also makes money from selling Windows and other software to large businesses and organizations.

Nearly a decade ago, over 90 percent of all devices on the Internet relied on Windows.

Microsoft has started rolling out its latest operating system to users around the world. We counted 12 laptops preloaded with Windows 10.

Recently, Windows has announced the unveiling of Windows 10 and many seemed to be skeptical of the new program until they tried it out. The Windows 10 Media Creation Tool allows you to skip the standard “queue” and download Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro directly to your computer so that you upgrade your current system right away. “Our partnership with Microsoft enables us to give our customers the best, most up-to-date support and service for managing their school devices”.

So, next step is that you should go to Windows Update and download KB3035583 update which will be a recommended update on your PC. Rather than charging them to upgrade, as Microsoft used to do, it’s embracing the free download model pioneered by Apple and Google. PC makers are hoping he succeeds.

On July 29, Windows 10 will be released to users across 190 countries in phases.

Microsoft has officially started releasing the Windows 10 today as a free upgrade for those with Windows 7 and 8 devices.

For example, the ability to highlight text and conduct a search on the highlighted subject is a particularly useful addition that could prove to be popular among Windows users.

Also available today are the new Windows Store and Windows Software Development Kit, which Scott says will “open the door” to new app experiences on Windows 10.
