(Figure) windows 10 build 9926 hands-on experience: smooth and easy to use, but the new features still need to be improved

Although Microsoft's early release of Windows 10 Build 9926 is still known as the technology preview version, but in fact it is already the legendary " January Preview Edition (not called Consumer Preview), added a number of new features and features introduced earlier, such as the new Start Menu and Notification Center, Cortana Voice Assistant, Continuum Mode Switch, and Xbox Live, plus The touch-screen version of the Office suite and Spartan browser are complete. Today, we spent a little time trying this new version of the new system, bringing you a batch of screenshots and sharing the experience.

We chose a new installation, the installation process is actually the same as Window 8/8.1, because the performance of the U disk as the carrier of the installation disk is low, so it took a lot of time. In addition, the system does not include the corresponding graphics card driver, although the WDDM driver can be obtained through system update after the installation is completed, but it is better to download and install the official driver.





After a while,
The driver is wrong, and finally install it yourself

The hardware platform information is as follows, Core i7-2600K+4GB Memory, also with a GTX 760 and SSD, the display is 4K resolution DELL UP2414Q. After the test, the boot time, from pressing the power button to entering the login interface, takes about 27 seconds.

There is actually this after installation, the icons and text are very small, the following taskbar is normal, and the IE browser's web page rendering is automatically adjusted to the optimal zoom ratio.

The result of manual adjustment is as follows, the ratio is about 200%:

The system icons and texts are natural after zooming in, while the Song characters of some websites are more blunt

The latest version of Windows 10 made a lot of changes in the interface, especially the start menu, was abandoned on Windows 8/8.1, changed to a single Metro dynamic tile interface, and returned to the Windows 10 technology preview. It becomes a traditional start menu and a dynamic magnet on one side.

The new version continues this design, but it also adds a new feature, the start menu can be maximized, showing more dynamic tiles, while the previous version is based on dynamic magnetic Paste and arrange to determine the shape and size of the start menu.

It is a pity that the application on the left cannot be dragged directly to the tile area. Instead, it needs to be right-clicked and selected to fix it. The actual operation is very troublesome.
Maximize the appearance, while seeing the application list and dynamic tile

The system icon, the resource manager also has obvious changes, such as the minimize, maximize and close buttons in the upper right corner, Farther apart, although not very good looking, but very in line with the needs of touch operations. As for the icon, Xiaobian is not very cold, and there is a messy feeling.

win+Tab summons this multi-desktop switching interface, but you need to click with the mouse. The boss may not be able to switch.

Cortana should be the most important and most important feature of this version. Like the version of WP8.1, she is based on the bing search engine, and in Windows 10 not only can search for network information, but also search for local and OneDrive cloud disk data.

But we encountered a lot of problems during the trial, and the first thing that the region does not support is the service. Fortunately, there are still some solutions. Just change the area to another area and change the language to something you can understand.

And again, there is another problem: Cortana doesn't speak, and I can't get my voice ……
This is "Little Na" is misunderstanding her Meaning, should tell her how to call me, and finally renamed Master.

The voice assistant has not been able to play, but fortunately she also supports text input, but the function is not strong enough, Microsoft has said that it is teaching more More skills.

Searching for applications and files is OK
Not smart here, searching for jpg files shows no results, but you can find the image classification but you can find it

Notification Center Step by step upgrade, now is the picture below, you can display more content, there are shortcut switches below.

The first one is the desktop/tablet mode switch. When it is opened, the application will force full screen display.

The setting interface is also overturned. It is completely different from Windows 8/8.1, and the icon is also Take a clean line, but it doesn't look good.






It seems that all input methods for adding various languages
Support offline maps

In fact, choose in the notification center It's OK

Of course, there are also traditional control panels in the system, which can still be found in the “Windows System” folder under the application list. In addition to this, some of the setup options will also jump back to the control panel, such as the Network Sharing Center.

The same image viewer is also being pushed back and redone. It is also a borderless design. There are various options hidden at the top. It seems that it has not been completed yet. The text under the icon is not complete. show.

Interestingly, there are two different versions of the app store built in. The left side is the original one, and the right side is the new beta version. The layout is completely different. It's more concise, but the response speed and download speed are not very good.

In addition, the beta version, like Cortana, needs to be changed to use.

In addition to Cortana, the other most important feature of Windows 10 is the built-in Xbox Live app. Players can view their achievements, friends status, and cross-platform chat with friends directly on the PC. Recording and sharing PC game videos and streaming Xbox One games will support cross-platform online games in the future. Currently known as "Fables: Legends".

There are several other UWA general-purpose applications, including mail, calendar, and OneNote, which have changed a lot.

Last, let me briefly talk about some of my feelings and opinions about Windows 10 Build 9926:

√ Usefulness is indeed higher than Windows 8/8.1

√ fluent

√ the design of the start menu is not bad

√ The function that is expected is finally coming < Br>

- The new function is still in its infancy, it takes time to perfect

× the interface element style is not uniform, the traditional software icon is a style, the Metro application is a style, such as setting menu, etc. Style, too confusing

Because of the time relationship, there is no compatibility between the test software and the driver yet, and the tablet has not been installed yet (in fact, I forgot to download the X86 version), and then add it later.
