Skype Announces Free Group Video Calling for iPhone and iPad

The company has already introduced a Fierce XL that runs Android, and the Windows 10 phone features the same technical specifications, including the same 5.5-inch display, 8MP camera, 2500mAh battery, and 4G LTE capability. Windows 10 mix of PCs rose to 87% from 58% prior to the holiday. On Jan. 8, the company announced that developers who submit application ideas that catch Google’s attention will receive funding and engineering support to bring their products to market in an expeditious fashion.

Microsoft has officially called time on Windows 8, ceasing the release of security updates just three years after the operating system was released. In the System properties window, look under Windows edition to see if it’s Windows 8 or 8.1. Although Windows 8.0 had its detractors, it created a strong, loyal group of users.

When you open the app, it checks your phone and lets you know if it’s eligible to upgrade, if an update is required before you can upgrade, or if your phone can’t be upgraded.

Windows 8.1, which launched the following August, attempted to bury the bad feelings surrounding Windows 8. I advise that you use the Store if you are running Windows 8.0 Pro with Media Center. You can install Update 1 after by checking Windows Update. Even the despised Windows Vista still maintained a 1.78% share. If you use Media Center, please note it will be removed during the upgrade process.

A new update to the Windows Insider app on Windows 10 Mobile allows users to opt out of pre-production builds rather easily-probably preparing testers of older devices for their release of Windows 10 Mobile.
