Windows, the operating system for hundreds of millions of PCs, has changed dramatically. Windows 10 is really such a big step? The ten innovations that jump the most eye-evaluated.
1. Tile free – 4 stars
It was the dearest wish of Windows users: the return of the start menu. They find in the bottom left corner of their computer screen, the familiar list of programs, folders and documents. The ’tile wall (with starting blocks for apps) from Windows 8 is combined with the Start menu. The tiles adorn the Start menu right now and to remove all of them. The tiles are live: as the tile of the weather app shows the current weather
2.. Super Browser – 4 stars
The icon still shows an “e”. But that is no longer for the twenty-year-old Internet Explorer. Microsoft built a new web browser: Edge. Faster and safer, and we could do with notes on Web pages and share it with others. Internet Explorer remains part of Windows, for websites that need it.
3. Rounder – 5 stars
Buy one app, use it everywhere. Microsoft steps with Windows 10 on universal apps. These are programs that run on all devices whether it is a PC, tablet, Windows Phone or Xbox console. But universal apps are also suitable for Hololens (Microsoft’s augmented reality glasses), the Surface Hub (a digital whiteboard) and the raspberry Pi2 (an computer no bigger than a credit card).
4. Skirmishes – 5 stars
No more bickering about who should sit in front of the TV: the gamer or the rest of the family. With Windows 10, we can games on the Xbox One console to a computer “stream” and play. As long as PC and game console on the same Wi-Fi network are we just need the Xbox remote plugs into the PC.
5. Metamorphosis – 4 stars
On a tablet, the entire start menu useless. For two-in-one computers (tablets with detachable keyboard) is conceived tablet mode. We get the screen from the keyboard, then shut down Windows 10 on the tablet mode, the Start menu shows only see tiles and apps occupy the entire screen. The metamorphosis takes place either automatically or always after an “OK” from the user.
6. Emergency phone – 3 stars
We do not need to type in Windows 10 has voice control. An invisible assistant, Cortana, performs basic commands like “Put appointment calendar” or “Search route to the nearest pizzeria.” Whether they are looking for answers on the Internet. You can also dictate text Cortana. With one caveat: “confidant” Cortana still does not understand Dutch
7.. Sided – 3 stars
A major annoyance in Windows 8 was that for adjusting settings like screen size had to look in two places. In the Settings panel were too few functions in the familiar Panel drowned you in a jumble of buttons and controls. Thanks to a new settings menu we need fewer dives in the Control Panel.
8. Messages Boy – 3 stars
A PC with Windows 10 looks like a cell phone. The evidence for this? The Action Centre, clickable from the taskbar. On our phones is called Notification Center. Here send messages that appear apps (appointments, tweets). In the Action Center will find select buttons for frequently used settings such as airplane mode and network.
9. Windowsill – 3 stars
Especially on a tablet screen you have not enough space for all your open (active) programs. The solution: create a virtual desktop on. It is as if there are more monitors connected to your PC. With Task View allows you to switch between these desktops. You can view the windows of active applications also move from one virtual screen to another.
10. Can Opener – 3 stars
A password remember no longer. PCs who are fit for Windows 10 can be recognized by your fingerprint, your iris or face. ‘Hello’ is the new login method. No, the gezichtsherkenner does not buy a photo that you love for the camera. He looks at you in 3D.
