There are a host of new features in Windows 10, ranging from updated interfaces to new apps and services.

1. START MENU

Windows 10 updated this OS with a new Start menu, which replaces the fullscreen Start screen of Windows 8. Now users looking for quick access to recently used apps, the file explorer, and power controls will be just as happy as those that want the extra information displayed by Live Tiles.

2. INTERFACE

Windows 10 is the new user interface. It’s still flat and modern looking. While Windows 8 essentially forced a touch interface on users whether they had hardware that took advantage of it or not, Windows 10 works equally well on both touch devices and mouse-and-keyboard PCs.

Microsoft has implemented new windows-switching gestures similar to Expose on the Mac and native virtual desktops.

4.“CORTANA” FEATURE

Windows 10 includes something that Microsoft has never offered in a desktop operating system before: a built-in virtual personal assistant.

What is Cortana?

Cortana is built into the system’s native search function, pulling in both local and web-based data whenever you perform a search on your machine. Cortana in Windows 10 is also able to be fully voice controlled and can even be activated with a simple “Hey Cortana” command.

5.“HELLO” FEATURE

Now Just sit in front of your computer, and Windows 10 will recognize you and log in. It’s similar to image recognition login systems we’ve seen for years on Android, but Microsoft insists it’s far more foolproof thanks to the requirement of special cameras and infrared hardware. There aren’t many laptops that can take advantage of Hello just yet, but that will likely change quite a bit in a short time.
