My first tutorials project is Microsoft’s new operating
system Windows 10. The user experience about any software is needful thing in
all people who uses them. In my experience, I met most of the people would not
have enough knowledge to operate computer or softwares installed in it. So, I
decided to help the beginners or intermediate computer users by providing step
by step tutorials about main operating system and useful softwares working on
it. This was my intension to start Shout Me Tutorials blog and for that I
select the new OS release Windows 10.
Before going to windows 10 tutorials in detail, as beginner
you must know about the Windows Ten and its features.
What is Windows 10?
Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest operating system (OS)
release which is one of the best OS in the current trend. It comes with new and
improved features, which uses the best benefits of both Windows 7 as well as
windows 8/8.1. Yesterday I got my New Microsoft Windows 10 genuine update to my
Dell XPS 15. I already reserved for the Windows 10 updation by using mail id
and yesterday that consume about 3 GB of internet data to complete the windows
update process.
For the first year, the manufactures provide genuine version
of Windows 10 OS completely free of cost. To get free windows upgrade, you must
have genuine windows 7 or windows 8/8.1 operating system.
In this version,
Microsoft makes major changes and new features such as enhanced start menu,
taskbar, Microsoft Edge, Cortana, notification bar etc. You will see each of
them in detail in the upcoming windows 10 tutorials. Here I will just brief the
new features and enhancements.
Windows 10 Features: Familiar User-Interface (UI)
First of all you must know about the Windows 10user-interface. It is very simple and more user-friendly than the windows
8/8.1. New version contains enhanced start menu is one of the major change of
this update. Start menu is looking too good and pleasing to eyes. It is divided
into two portions. Left side contains the most used applications, all apps,
power button, file explorer and settings. The right side shows the apps inside
the windows 10 as in the Win 8/8.1 start menu. The boot-up speed also improved
and provides more security than predecessors.
The taskbar is also enhanced with attached search bar, Task
view, pinned apps and notification bar. The task view button helps to display
currently opened apps in your desktop. It is just like virtual desktop which
enables to switch between different workspaces. It also improves the
productivity of users.
It also supports the touch devices. You can use it on both
touch and non-touch devices with ease. You can also convert the Desktop or
tablet view from the settings. If you have touch device, don’t worry it will
more productive in that also.
Windows 10 Features: Microsoft Edge Browser
In 2014 survey, Internet explorer is selected as most
unsecure and hack vulnerable internet browser. With the new Windows10 Microsoft
completely replaces the internet explorer browser with Microsoft Edge. It is one
of the unique web browsers as compared with others, because it has some unique
capabilities such as annotation of web pages, sharing and more security.
Windows 10 Features: Cortana
Cortana is one of the new and great addition of windows 10
OS, which is act like your assistant. It is also integrated with the search
tool in the taskbar. One of the main use of cortana is that act as powerful
desktop search engine. It helps to find the all documents, apps, or any relevant
content just by typing related single word or phrase. To get it into full
functionality you need to sign in with your Microsoft account. Cortana also can
understand the your talking language (natural), the searches are also done
based on it. It has more capabilities and one of the powerful tools from the
Microsoft. You can use it as reminder, mail sender or will done most of the
work for you. You can see it in very detail with windows 10 tutorials posts.
Windows 10 Features: Performance
In case of performance, Windows Ten is running very smoothly
on my first generation Intel i5 processor with 4 GB RAM and 1 GB Nivida Geforce
410M graphicscard. The boot-time and shutdown times are very much improved and
faster than the windows 7 and windows 8/8.1. The Windows 10 is associated with
new sleep feature called “Hybrid Sleep”. It is combination of both sleep and
hibernate which helps to save the battery charge and prevent the data loss due
to power failure. The file copying also works smoother than the preceding OS
versions.
Windows 10 Features: Multimedia and Gaming
The Xbox gaming integration is major update in this
category. It helps to stream the Xbox games through the windows 10 and you can
also download the games from the library for both pc and Xbox system using the
Xbox apps. The DirectX 12 helps very much in gaming by reducing the CPU load
and conveys them to GPU’s. There by games will perform more efficient and
consistent way.
The new Groove music player app is also good and better
managing of music files and also you can connect with windows store for buying
new ones within the app. The FLAC and HEVC codec and Matroska media containers
are helps to support more formats for windows media player.
These are the main advantages of this wonderful operating
system. But I felt some disadvantages and I don’t think that are too much
serious.
The windows update control is completely at loss, which
forcefully receive updates by consuming internet data. You can only prevent
this by metered connection setup. Updates will not download for the metered
internet connection.
The Microsoft account sign in is needed for the trouble free
working of most of the apps contained in the Windows 10. Mainly the Calendar
and mail apps must need the Microsoft account signin.
These are the main features of Windows10 operating system.
If you have genuine Windows 7, Windows 8 o Windows 8.1 OS, you can apply for
the free windows 10 upgrade for lifetime. If you are using older version of
windows you must check your device is compatible with the upgrade by contacting
with desktop/laptop/tablet provider or installing the Get windows10 app. The OS
