Windows 10 will be released this year with new special features. Microsoft has been slowly revealed the specs for this new system.
As reported, this new personal computer operating system which is developed by Microsoft, aimed to improved user experience for non-touchscreen devices. These improvements include the new revision of the system's desktop Start menu, a virtual desktop system, as well as its ability to run Windows Store Apps within the desktop with full-screen modes.
PC Pro also revealed its specifications. As such, this new personal computer system's Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 is already available for download. Its specifications will include Cortana, new Spartan browser, Continuum, Xbox integration, DirectX 12, and Windows Holographic.
Schedules for its consumer preview will be expected in the next month and the full release of the new operating system will be this coming autumn.
According to the same site source, Windows 10 is also a free upgrade available for download for all Windows systems such as the Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 for the users a year after its launch. In mobile, Windows 10 will be debuted at MWC also in February.
Techradar detailed Microsoft's attempts to "make tablets part of the Continuum which goes with a number of crunching workstations and high-end gaming gigs through all-in-one touchmedia systems and thin-and light notebooks to slender touch tablets." As an outcome to its successful attempts to unify all these features, Windows 10 is developed as a new OS. Microsoft also revealed that they have made the tablet, mouse/keyboard support, including introducing new apps that includes the Photos, Maps, and the Cortana digital assistant, reported The Register.
On the contrast, this new system upgrades will also be inconvenient for those users who are already using the previous older versions. According the report, the first thing a user could observe is the system backtracking. That means that there are certain features of the older version which needs to be unpicked for the new Windows 10. However, this is just part of the major adjustments for the new OS users.
Meanwhile, as announced, this new OS will be free for those Windows 8.1 users for its first year. However, there is no confirmation yet for those Windows 7 or an older version users if they are included. On the other side, Windows 8.1 security and system updates upgrade for a lifetime will also be included in Windows 10 according to Microsofts' chief blogger Brandon LeBlanc.
