Windows 10 is the latest iteration of the Windows Operating System, playing the role of the successor to Windows 8. Windows 10 is without a doubt an OS that the entire world is waiting for, especially judging by the fact that the rumor mill has started churning vigorously with rumors regarding the much awaited Operating System.
As the rumored release date of the Operating System draws closer, people have started wondering a number of different things regarding it. Windows 10 will, without a doubt, bring a large number of improvements over Windows 8, and many people wonder exactly what improvements and additions it will bring. Well, the following are the 5 things regarding the Windows 10 Operating System that a person definitely needs to know:
The Operating System is set to be released in the middle of 2015
The much anticipated Operating System from the work desks of Microsoft is set to be released somewhere in the middle of 2015, presumably after Microsoft’s Annual Build conference. Before the official release of the OS, Microsoft will be sending out preview and test versions of the OS to select few Microsoft customers for checking purposes.
Windows 10 will definitely have a command prompt
Large portions of the people who have been using the Windows OS for quite some time have been wondering whether or not Windows 10 will have a command prompt. Well, even though a Microsoft Spokesperson admitted that a command prompt is a “niche, geeky feature,” the Operating System will definitely have one.
Windows 10 will be touch-enabled
Microsoft has stated on a number of occasions that they are not giving up on touch just yet. This is the reason why Windows 10 will be touch-enabled, along with the retro keyboard and mouse input system.
Windows 10 will feature a refined and much simpler navigation system
Almost every person who has used Windows 8 will agree that the navigation system of the OS was extremely complicated and confusing. Microsoft has designed Windows 10 to correct the mistakes it made with its predecessor by creating a navigation system for Windows 10 that is not only refined but is also extremely simple. The navigation system on the Windows 10 OS will feature Windows 7-like components, as well as Microsoft’s patented innovation.
Windows 10 will have a Start Menu
The one thing that 90% of the people who used Windows 8 missed dearly was the Start Menu. Well, Microsoft has listened to the rants of these people and has decided to design Windows 10 with a Start Menu. The Windows 10 OS’s start menu will feature two (or in some cases three) partitions, one showing apps in a style similar to that of Windows 7, and one showing apps in the colorful “Live Tiles” style that the world saw on Windows 8.
