“Windows 10 is the next generation of Windows, designed to help you create great things” – said Terry Myerson, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft. “Windows 10 shows our vision of a more personal computing experience, defined by trust in how we protect and respect your personal data; mobility between your devices and natural interactions with Windows-powered devices, including voice, touch, ink and holograms.”
Familiar and better than ever
Windows 10 brings back the Start Menu, which users know and love. It also lets them search for files, pinned apps, and “favorites”. Windows 10 starts and resumes quickly and enables longer battery life than ever. As part of the safest platform, Windows 10 includes Windows Defender, which protects for free against malware and provides free updates throughout the device’s support lifecycle. Optimized for keyboard and touch use, the Windows 10 update is designed to be compatible with Windows devices and apps.
More personal and natural experience
Windows 10 adapts to the user to offer a highly personalized experience. Cortana, the world’s first fully digital assistant, helps users accomplish tasks across all their devices. Cortana learns individual user preferences to suggest solutions, provide quick access to information, and important reminders through voice or text. Windows Hello* greets users by name and allows them to log in to their computer without a password – delivering instant, more secure access to Windows 10 devices through biometric authentication. Windows 10 also enables device interactions using traditional mouse and keyboard, or more natural methods like voice, ink, or gestures.
Be more productive
Windows 10 enables users to accomplish much more than ever before with less effort. Microsoft Edge, the new browser, designed for the new way of working online, offers built-in writing, sharing, and reading mode. Integration with Cortana means Microsoft Edge quickly delivers search results and content based on individual user preferences and interests. Fast, improved, and personal, Microsoft Edge enables users to focus on what matters.
The new Office experience for Windows 10
Office 2016 offers a consistent, touch-optimized experience for tablets and PCs with new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. Designed from the ground up for Windows, Office allows users to create and edit Word documents, add real-time comments to slides using ink, present PowerPoint presentations, and create or update Excel spreadsheets without using a keyboard or mouse – all thanks to new touch-optimized buttons in Excel. The desktop version of Office 2016 works equally well on Windows 10.
