How And Why You Should Upgrade To The New Windows 10 And Features Of It by smartbingari(m): 2:35pm On Jul 31, 2015
Microsoft recently released the new Windows 10, the windows is the best windows ever made by Microsoft.

Why you should upgrade to the new Windows.

1. The windows 10 is the fastest window unlike the buggy windows 8 and 9

2. Start Menu
As we knew prior to the January briefing,
Windows 10 will mark the return of the much
loved Start Menu. In the latest build shown, it
has some updated graphics and can optionally go
full-screen. Half of the menu looks pretty much
like it did in Windows 7 but there's the obvious
addition of Live Tiles.

3. Cortana
As we expected, Cortana is one of the headline
features of Windows 10 – at least as far as
Microsoft is concerned. The digital assistant,
which rivals Siri and Google Now, has been
available on Windows Phone for a while will come
to PCs and tablets.
Cortana will sit next to with the Start button on
the desktop, but you can invoke it by saying "Hey
Cortana". You'll also be able to edit the things
that Cortana knows about you to improve the
service it provides. Typing to interact is also an
option and you can request "show me photos from
December" or "Show me PowerPoint slides about
the charity presentation".

4. Enhancements
Thanks to the Windows Insider program,
Microsoft is making changes suggested by
Windows users around the globe. Since Windows
10 runs across all devices, the OS will have
unified settings. That means the end of separate
control panel and PC settings. There's also the
Action Center now provides notifications and is
synchronised across devices.

5. Xbox app and streaming
There's good news for gamers as not only with
the Xbox One get Windows 10 (including Universal
apps – see below), Microsoft has introduced some
sweet new features. Windows 10 will come with
the Xbox app (although there was no mention of
Windows 10 for phones getting it) which has
features like the ability to control the Xbox One
and a DVR capture for any Windows games.
Furthermore, you'll be able to play multiplayer
games cross-platform between Xbox One and PC.
As if that wasn't enough, Windows 10 will support
the ability to stream games from the Xbox.

6. It's free
