Recently, Microsoft Windows 10 officially began the pace of upgrading. Previously, Windows 8/8.1 ended up being unpopular. This time, what about the performance of Windows10, which is "free"?

Start menu return to multi-platform universal

If you are an Apple and Windows user, you will find that Win 7 boot speed makes people "catch" Madness & rdquo;, although the improvement after Win 8, but the cancellation of the start menu is still criticized by many users. The biggest concern for Windows 10 is the return of the start menu and the increase in boot speed.

After upgrading, click the Windows button in the lower left corner of the screen to open the Start menu. On the left side, you will see a list of system key settings and applications. The dynamic tile will also appear on the right.

From the experience of the reporter, after entering the system after the upgrade is completed, you can see the interface of Windows 10, which is almost the same as Windows 8. The resounding part of Windows 8 is mainly “hard”, combining mobile and desktop platforms. No matter the touch or the traditional mouse and keyboard operation, the best experience is not achieved. There are often a bunch of windows on the interface. Obviously, if you use a touch screen, this is very inconvenient, because on a 12-inch, 2K resolution screen, the icons will become very small.

On Windows 10, a notification message “Turn to tablet mode” appears in the lower right corner. After confirmation, the interface will be fully screened immediately. Other windows will be displayed on the taskbar. The icon of the taskbar will be displayed. It becomes bigger and more suitable for finger operation, making the PC more like a tablet.

Win10 uses a new browser, Edge, which claims to be more suitable for mobile devices. When running with Apple and Google's testing tools, Edge was 1.6 times faster and 2.25 times faster than IE, and the presentations of favorites, reading lists, history, and downloads seemed reasonable.

On the whole, the new Edge browser has a good experience and supports extensions, but there are still many places that are not as good as the Chrome browser.

Win10 also has a "power saving mode", the reporter test found that in the case of not turning on "power saving mode", the power consumption of playing two hours of online video is 47%. In the same situation, when the power-saving mode is turned on, the power consumption is 40%, the power consumption is 7%, and the estimated battery life is 0.75 hours.

Encountering problems. Be cautious when upgrading.

Although the new features of Windows 10 are attractive, the upgrades are not going well.

Recently, some foreign users reported that they had encountered a failure when upgrading Win10, and as a result, the computer could not be used. It is reported that they got an error message after completing the upgrade and were told that the computer "lack of operating system". Some netizens also said that after the upgrade was completed, the computer hard disk report showed that there was nothing in the hard disk.

An interview with the reporter found that domestic users also encountered such difficult problems as “restarting repeated restarts” and “sounds are almost inaudible”. Many users have indicated that they have encountered problems such as upgrade failure, repeated restart, and blue screen.

In the official forum of Microsoft, some netizens reflected that after the upgrade, "sound is too small", "do not listen carefully, you can use silent to describe, and the music can hardly be heard. I have already adjusted the volume to the maximum. ”

In response to this, Microsoft technicians replied, “due to the incompatibility caused by the user's sound card driver, it is recommended that users wait patiently for hardware vendors to release hardware drivers for Win10. In addition, the netizen Li Tao also responded: win7 after the win10 update blue screen, the computer has been restarted, so repeated. In addition, users have encountered problems such as stuck or black screen after installation, which can not be started, and the boot is very slow after the update.

According to the experience of previous operating system upgrades, it is the official version, there are still many bugs and stability defects, including whether the system itself will crash, whether each software can run perfectly. If you have such concerns and concerns, it is very necessary to wait for the last half-year observation period. Windows 10 has just been released and needs to be improved.

PC can play Xbox games Delay is obvious

Win10 has tried to integrate multiple devices, and also incorporates forward-looking technologies such as games and virtual reality. Between the operating system and the Xbox One game console, there is greater synergy that allows gamers to perform Xbox games on the PC and free the living room TV from the game screen. The reporter tried to find that connecting to the Xbox One console, the PC's Windows interface will disappear immediately, replaced by the Xbox One game interface. At this point, we can configure the game screen accordingly, such as picture quality, clarity and fluency.

However, the actual experience is not as good as imagined, and some obvious delays make it difficult for players to experience a pleasant experience.

In some less intense games, the effect is smooth. Once the rhythm such as "FIFA 15" is running, the game screen on the PC screen will be out of frame and delay.

In addition, the Cortana Voice Assistant is an important feature in Win10 that users can access directly from the desktop with a single click or voice command. It can be used to search for files on the hard disk, system settings, installed applications, and weather, navigation and other issues.

Trial Experience:

Mr. Huang, who works in IT, downloaded the official version of Windows 10 last week. He said that this new system, regardless of fluency or interface, is better than the previous Windows8/8.1. It is much better. Friends around me have been busy upgrading and feeling the new system for the past two days.

In contrast, most ordinary users don't feel anything about the release of Win10, "Is it?" Upgrade again? Now Win7 is pretty good, and it feels like there is no need to upgrade. ” Ms. Chen, who is engaged in administrative work, said that the system is pre-installed when buying a computer, so upgrading or not upgrading does not mean much to her. But some users who have just used Windows 10 think that now is not a good time to upgrade.
