Win10 offers a free upgrade for the first time! 7 big new changes at a glance

Microsoft brought the Windows 10 we have been waiting for for a long time. After reading all the introductions, I began to think that "Well, Win10 has a play". There is a play because it is the first free upgrade in history, and because Windows 10 will support multi-platform synchronization and seamless connectivity for the first time, which means that Microsoft Windows operating system will open a new era of multi-platform interconnection.

Windows 10 will support PC, tablet, mobile and Xbox One gaming platform, it will bear As a role of all of Microsoft's eco-interconnect media, once users use Windows 10 in the future, it means that the information, settings and interactions of his PC, mobile phone, tablet and Xbox One form a three-dimensional interconnection. Users will be able to synchronize their own schedules, personal files, contacts, messages, related settings, etc., and enjoy a smoother experience when switching between devices.

There are many details inside Windows 10 that have been redesigned. The new start menu is as rich as the previous report, and the experience is closer to the original Win7 era. The tile interface has been greatly adjusted based on the original tile concept. The new tile interface starts to support vertical scrolling, and the start button can be used to call out all application menus.

3. The software represented by Office will be deeply integrated.

The Office software is relatively independent in the past, and Windows 10 integrates Office software for the first time, which is more convenient. Sharing usage across platforms will be a very convenient experience for users. In order to make the mobile device use more smoothly, Office has greatly optimized the mobile version, and it will become possible to experience Office work on the mobile phone. Through the on-site demonstration, Office is more deeply embedded in the system. Users can seamlessly connect the Office task on the PC side to the mobile terminal, and connect unfinished work between different devices in real time.

In fact, Office is just a demonstration of deep integration of software, including calendar, alarm clock and other common applications can also achieve a similar experience on Windows 10.

4. Integrating Cortana Voice Assistant

With live demonstrations, the Cortana voice assistant integrated on Windows 10 and running on a PC has a relatively good experience, not only able to find Weather, accessing users' applications and files, sending and receiving emails, finding content online, and learning more colloquial user expressions, Cortana is no doubt closer to our ideal and efficient emotional assistant. Microsoft said that the Cortana service will be released to internal users first in the next few months.

5, brand new browser codename Spartan

According to the convention of releasing new systems in the past, Microsoft will also adjust the IE browser while updating the operating system. Now the new browser —— version code Spartan has met with you.

Microsoft is "It's time to launch a browser that is more suitable for Windows 10." & rdquo; to explain its birth. From the demonstration point of view, Spartan's interface is more concise, visual style and even a bit of Google Chrome's charm. It allows users to browse on the web page, and the screenshot function is also more convenient. At the same time, the user can also conveniently share or send the content to the desired place after the annotation.

6. Integrating the Xbox game platform Social interaction enhancement

Microsoft held the Windows 10 conference and officially announced the new Windows 10. Among the many changes, the integration of the Xbox game system is seen as a reflection of Microsoft's increased focus on the game business. The integrated Xbox gaming platform will give Windows 10 gamers a more active social interaction experience.

In the software, "My Games" will show you the games you have played in all the terminals. In addition, content items with friends lists, messages, and activity streams are also designed. You can chat with Xbox Live users and upload game scores and game videos. You can also comment, like, and share videos of the game.

7, the first free upgrade in history

A lot of users are very concerned about whether the Windows 10 upgrade is free and how much it costs, Microsoft gave the answer while releasing Win10: the first year free!

Microsoft explained that in the year of Win10 release, all current Win7 users, Win8.1 users and Windows Phone 8.1 users can upgrade for free, which is the first time in Microsoft history. This move will undoubtedly greatly enhance the enthusiasm of users to upgrade the system, Microsoft is expected to get rid of the sluggish system users. I vaguely feel that Microsoft finally understands the truth: the added value of user upgrades may be higher than the sales proceeds, which is very important for the overall situation.

Preview version next week, landing on PC, landing on mobile phone in February

A lot of netizens are already looking forward to this new Windows 10 that supports mobile/tablet/PC/Xbox multi-platform. In fact, you don't have to worry, because the new Windows 10 Consumer Preview PC version will be upgraded to subscribers next week, and then come to the mobile phone in February. Friends who like early adopters can consider paying attention to and downloading upgrade trials in the first place.

Summary: Win10 may be a good start after Win8/8.1 failure

The move to mobile is always an unavoidable difficulty for the entire IT industry, after failing Win8 and Win8.1 After the integration, it seems that Microsoft finally found a way to achieve multi-platform unification. Although we don't like Win8/8.1, we have to say that without their test experience, there is definitely no Win10 seen today. If Win8/8.1 is the moment in the process of quantitative change, then Win10 is more like a qualitative change.

Win10 not only achieves many new features brought by multi-platform integration, but also removes the barriers of users who used to use Win8/8.1 on the interface design. Let's not mention the new features will bring about changes, just use the experience and interface design, obviously these changes are enough to support Win10 beyond the previous, do not forget that Microsoft also gave a huge temptation for free upgrades. At least I think Win10 is a good start after a painful period.

It's not a satisfactory answer, it depends on the actual experience after the system is downloaded and used.
