What are the new win8 features

Computer store news: What are the new features of win8? When we are still entertaining on Windows XP system, those who can't wait for Win fans have used the preview version and gave us their experience for the first time. . As the latest generation of Microsoft's operating system, Win8 has brought us many amazing improvements, the task manager, the new Metro start menu, all of which seem to give a refreshing feeling. The most important thing is that the changes in Windows 8 are not just these. Now let's take a look at some of the new features in win8.

1. Unknown software recommendation

Microsoft has been following such a tradition. When it is found that there is no corresponding program for the file to be opened, a reminder box will be displayed first, and the user can select it here. A native software can also directly query the correct program online. Of course, the query here just tells you what to use and does not provide direct download, so the actual experience is not very good.

In the Win8 Metro menu instead of the previous reminder box, you can still easily select from the existing programs in the machine, or go online to query the corresponding software, but a less eye-catching change is , we can download it directly from the app store.

2. File details

From the Vista era, there is one more at the bottom of the window. In the file details bar, you can display a lot of related data with a mouse click. Unfortunately, this design, while practical, takes up a lot of screen space. So how to solve it? It's very simple! Move it to the side.

3. Start the program drag

The task manager is not only used to end a process, you will find it in Win8 A lot of other uses, such as —— check which software is the slowest drag on your system startup.

4. Metro support spell checker

Spell check is generally a favorite of word processing software, but Win8 will It is introduced into all Metro applications. As with Office, once an incorrect word is entered, a red wavy line is automatically displayed below the wrong word. Right-click to see the suggested alternative word. Of course, you can also add it as a new word to the dictionary.

5. Quick Search

It is well known to enter keywords under Metro to search for the desired application directly. But one small secret is that the search results can actually be automatically raised and lowered according to the frequency at which the application is clicked. To put it simply, the higher the frequency of use, the higher the position, and the lower the frequency of use, the lower the position.

6. Application Sorting

Metro supports application grouping, a fact that many people know. But there is no denying that sometimes you may need another option. Try right-clicking on the Metro blank to switch to “All apps”. If you click on the magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner under this interface, you can have the tiles in alphabetical order of A~Z. How? I didn't expect it.

7. Dynamic Tile

Win8's tile is dynamically displayed, that is, when you receive an email, magnetic The post will automatically display the recipient, subject, and part of the message. Generally speaking, such a design is very convenient, but it is better to be cautious if you are in a public place such as an office. Right click on the tile to select “ turn off the dynamic tile & rdquo;, well! The world is quiet.

8. Photo import

This is a change that I found by chance. When Win8 imports digital photos, it will automatically flip the photo taken vertically. Said to help the user save a lot of things. Needless to say, all five points!

9. Copy conflicts

Win8 will automatically start preview when replication conflicts, which everyone knows. But I dare to buy a ticket, but there is one detail that is not well known. That is, when a file with the same name, size, and last modification time is encountered, the user can choose to automatically ignore it. Of course, this is definitely a cheering progress, because it means you can stay at the computer without being stupid in the future.

10. Address Bar

Win8's address bar is unremarkable and looks like Win7. But if you are considering moving a file to another location at the moment, try dragging it directly onto the address bar. Don't be surprised! This feature does not work with Win7.

11. Auto color matching

For Win7, wallpaper and color matching are always two elements that don't match, even if you are yellow beach Still blue ocean, the color of the window will always be the same. Of course, the development of technology will always become more and more human, so an unexpected change appears in the personalized configuration window of Win8, the window can be automatically changed according to the wallpaper. Of course, the effect is also very obvious, let's look at the picture.

12. Picture Password

Maybe you're used to writing code, tired of hearing those news password being compromised. Come on! Let's change our minds. I didn't think about using pictures as a power-on password? That's right! Win8 provides us with this way. Under its "Computer Settings" & R&D;;rarar;"User” tab, we can easily create a graphic. password. First, select a picture as the base map, then randomly draw three gestures in the picture, OK! Get it.

13. ISO file

God opened his eyes! Win8 finally joined the long-awaited ISO image loading function, and also supports one-click burning. This means that when you encounter a game image next time, you don't have to bother to install a virtual CD-ROM drive, just double-click it to get it!

14 Account Synchronization

Account synchronization is actually known to many people, but since this feature is too important, consider revisiting it again and again. Simply put, Win8 supports personal information roaming, which is a bit like Tencent QQ's innovation two years ago, all user-related avatars, wallpapers, lock screens, themes, taskbars, language preferences, Metro programs, browser settings, Other Windows settings, etc. can be tied to a network account (login account). When you enter a new computer, or just reinstall your love machine, you can use this feature to quickly restore your habits. And the above functions are not static, users can freely choose the specific modules that need to be synchronized.

15. Start menu

Since the notebook is also used for work, I can't use Win8 as the main system of the computer, but it is because of this. I was lucky enough to get acquainted with a new design —— new multi-system boot menu.

Like Win8, the new boot menu is also integrated into the rich Metro style, but the real highlight is —— you can use it to directly restore the operating system (“recovery computer”,&ldquo ; Initialize the computer & rdquo;, & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo;, & ldquo; System Image Recovery & rdquo;). That's right! Just like a Ghost built in.

16. Native 3G

Very unexpected! I found that Win8 can display the traffic statistics of 3G card, and the user can hide or display it within 60 days by button. List of traffic. Although the screenshot is provided by a foreign netizen, some friends have confirmed that the domestic version of 3G is ready for use.

In addition Win8 supports opening a "flight mode", yes! It is the button that is used every day on the smartphone. The function …… is the same as the mobile phone, it is to close all the network connections with one button, of course, as long as it is for the tablet and laptop

17. Windows update

Win8 has improved the update operation mechanism, which is more humane in layman's terms. For example, if you download and install some patches on Monday, then one day later (that is, Tuesday) will be prompted to restart within 2 days in the lower right corner of the login area (the restart button will also become "update and restart"; ), if you still haven't restarted your computer (such as sleep or hibernation) within two days, then Win8 will force the computer to restart on Thursday. Of course, in order to avoid losing user data, forced restart will also "look at people's dishes" during operation, and will not let you watch the PPT or watch a wonderful movie …… black screen!

18. SmartScreen Filter

The first time I met SmartScreen, I believe many people are on IE8, at the time it was only designed to filter some malicious downloads. Page. However, in the era of Win8, the scope of SmartScreen is not limited to IE, whether you use a third-party browser, download tools, or copy files from removable media, you will be protected by SmartScreen.

19. System reset

System reset is strictly an upgraded version of the previous system restore, in fact it is subdivided into "recovery computer" ” and <; initialize the computer & rdquo; two sub-functions. The difference is that "recovery computer" is equivalent to reinstalling the system for the user, and the file can be saved. And "Initialize the computer" is to restore Win8 to the factory state (requires reactivation), a bit like a key recovery.

20. Time Machine

File mismodification is probably the most troublesome thing, but Win8<;File History” Obviously it is the cure for this problem. Simply speaking, the file history is like a regular backup of the file. It usually works silently in the background of the system. Once the file is wrong, you can click the “History” button on the window Ribbon. The next thing is like the good ending of many stories, the files are automatically restored. And you are in the process, just need to insert a normal U disk.

Written at the end

Metro or touch! All of this does not fully define this cross-generation operating system. Maybe a few years later, when we look back, you may find that every change in the system is actually made up of these small advances, and this may be the most attractive part of a new operating system!
