Of course, you will certainly ask, so hard and frustrating, what substantive changes can this TH2 bring to us? Today Xiaobian will talk to you about the mystery of TH2!

1. The title bar and the theme color are the same color

Win10's title bar has always been white, and it is also very beautiful at the beginning, “small fresh”, can be a long time, Everyone basically uses the word "white" to describe it!

In TH2, one of the most obvious changes is that the title bar starts to sync with the theme color, as long as you check the “personalization““show‘start’menu, taskbar, action The color of the center and title bar, the top of the window will automatically display the same color as the current theme color.

<;Windows Focus" Many people are not clear, but if I tell you that it is the ability to answer questions on the lock screen to change the wallpaper, I think many people will understand.

The new version of the Professional Edition has added "Windows Focus".

This feature was originally from the preview version, but it was strangely removed from the Professional Edition after the official release. Only the home version of the user can see it. In TH2, "Windows Focus" finally returned to the professional version of the system, through the "personalization" & rdquo; → & ldquo; lock screen interface & rdquo; can be found.

3. Right-click menu changes

TH2 version of the right-click menu is more uniform in color usage, such as starting from the taskbar menu and starting from other locations The menu is different. The former must be black in line with the taskbar, while the latter is still more white with bright eyes.

Right-click menu color is more unified with the system

In addition to color uniformity, the right-click menu also pays more attention to the experience of the touch screen user. First of all, you will find that the menu spacing is larger than before, regardless of the tablet or the traditional mode. Secondly, if you put your finger in the start tile and press and hold it, you will find that the pop-up menu will be more than the mouse click. ”.

In TH2, the tile right-click menu starts to add more intuitive icons. For example, when you modify the tile size, you can see more understandable icon indications. In addition, "more" has hidden more new gadgets, such as one-click APP scores, sharing, and so on.

Start with more clear and easy-to-understand icons

4. Start menu supports more tiles

TH2 version starts to support more start menu tiles. The single block has been upgraded from the previous 3 columns to 4 columns. What does this mean? That's two pieces of "wide size" that couldn't be tiled at the same time. Now it's finally straightforward. And what you have to do is to tick "Show more tiles" in "Personalization&"→“Start”.

TH2 version has a large size layout, which can be tiled at the same time. "Wide size" is also available.

In addition, the maximum number of tiles can be accommodated in the start menu, also from the previous 512. Increased to 2048.

Modern application support for installation to other partitions

Another improvement in the humanization of TH2 is to support the installation of applications to non-C drives. To experience this change, you need to first go to “Set”→“System”→“Storage”, modify the default application save path. Of course, if you have installed it before, it doesn't matter, you can also manually transfer the application location by using “Settings&>→“System”→“Applications and Features”

You can install applications to other non-system partitions

Installed applications can also be manually transferred to other partitions at any time

6. More Win32 classic interface regression

Previously, Microsoft had removed a lot of traditional windows (Win32 interface) in order to promote the Modern interface. However, with the continuous improvement of the user's recognition of the Modern interface, the TH2 version has begun to return some Win32 interfaces. One of the more representative ones is the “Personalization” panel. You can see that TH2 has almost completely recovered to the Win8 era.

More Win32 classic windows begin to return

In addition, the bottom of other system modules, most of them have joined the entrance of the traditional Win32 interface, such as "Applications and Functions" under "Programs and Functions" "," and "Power & Sleep" under "Power and Sleep" under "Other Power Settings", "Printers and Scanners" under "Printers and Printers" and "Device Manager" and so on, both It is to better balance the experience of traditional users.

7. Edge Browser

8. Cortana supports handwriting

TH2 version of Cortana adds handwriting recognition support, which means your handwritten notes are now Can be recognized by Cortana and set reminders. Of course, we can also think of the use of foot organs, this function will certainly not achieve a high recognition rate, and requires a very detailed time stamp to set reminders, but as a supplement to the traditional features is still necessary.

Double 11 Express can finally be handed over to Xiaona. "Follow"

In addition, the new version of Xiaona has begun to be more grounded. For example, the long-awaited express tracking function is one. Big highlights.

9. Desktop Split Screen Auto Match

Another interesting development in the new version is that when you drag a window edge in desktop mode, the other window will automatically adjust. size. In other words, the adjustments that previously required two steps to complete can now be done in one step. Of course, you need to ensure that “personalization”→“system”→“multitasking““ when I adjust the size of a given window, I also adjust any phase The size of the neighboring window is also checked. Previously, only tablet mode supported similar operations.

Xiaona supports sending text messages, provided that …… you have to have a Win10 phone first. Remember! Remember!

11. New Memory Management Solution

TH2 adds a “compressed storage” concept. In general, it improves memory usage efficiency without increasing physical memory. The performance of the entire Win10. But for many “value parties”, the value of this technology is not very good, one of the main reasons is … … the new version of the memory footprint has increased.

TH2 version of the memory is higher than the old version, but the operation efficiency is faster, mainly thanks to the "compressed storage" technology

“ compressed storage & rdquo; When the memory manager detects that there is not enough memory, it automatically compresses the useless pages and no longer writes them to the hard disk. The advantage of this is that you can reduce the memory footprint of a single process, so that Win10 can run more programs and applications than before in the same physical memory environment.

But this technology is also a "double-edged sword", when the process is compressed, one of the most obvious phenomenon is that the system process becomes very large, which is why many people find that the new version of Win10 The memory footprint in the Task Manager will be more than before.

12. Native “Scanning with Windows Defender>

In addition to those features on the tall, the new TH2 adds a small change to the right-click menu of files and folders. Added a feature to "Scan with Windows Defender". Although there are still many people who question the killing ability of Windows Defender, this change is quite loving for many small partners who do not use third-party anti-virus software.

Added "Use Windows Defender to scan..." menu item in the right-click menu.

13. Direct activation with Win7/8.1 key

This change Perhaps many of the old users are most looking forward to it. Before Win7/8.1 users had to go through the process of “Upgrading and installing” before installing Win10. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but systems that are upgraded and installed often have a lot of problems. Starting from the TH2 version, the new ISO installation package began to officially identify the win7/8.1 installation key, so the old users can finally use the Win7/8.1 key to install Windows 10 freshly.

TH2 supports direct installation using Win7/8.1 keys, and old users no longer have to go "older installations"
