10 Reasons to Love Windows 10

1. Start Menu

• It works like the Start

menu we’re all used to,

but Microsoft has added

Live Tiles to it.

• You can resize the entire

Start menu by opening it,

and clicking and dragging

its top edge.

2. Modern UI Apps on Desktop

• Chunky, finger-friendly

Modern UI apps still

exist in Windows 10, but

they no longer need to

run full-screen

3. New Charms Bar

• Modern UI apps

have a new

button at their

top left with

three dots (‘…’)

that opens a

menu with the

usual selection

of Charms Bar

options.

4. Multi-task with Task View

• Windows 10

makes working

with multiple

windows much

easier.

• Press Alt + Tab,

or click the Task

View button on

the Task Bar, and

you’ll see an

overview of all

open windows.

5. Work with Multiple Desktops

• Click the Task View

button on the Taskbar

and you’ll see an ‘Add

a desktop’ option at

the bottom of the

screen.

• This allows you to

create virtual

Desktops that you can

quickly switch

between, so you don’t

have to cram all your

open apps onto just

one.

6. Aero Snap gets Extended

• You can still snap

windows to the left

and right half of the

screen by dragging

them to the left or

right screen edge,

but now you can

also drag windows

into one corner to

snap them to a

quarter-screen.

7. Never Miss a Notification

• Windows 7 and 8 displayed

operating system

notifications as pop-up

windows, but these could

easily disappear before you

had the chance to read

them.

• This still happens in

Windows 10, but the

notifications are also saved

in the new ‘Notifications

Centre’. Just click the icon

in the Notifications Area to

see them.

8. Take Control of Command Prompt

• Few people have the

need to use the

Command Prompt in

Windows, but it can be

a much quicker way to

perform certain tasks.

• If you are a fan, you’ll

find you can now

resize the window and

have its contents resize

with it, select and

cut/copy text easily

using the mouse

9. Get More Life from Laptop Battery

• Battery saver is accessed via

Start, PC Settings, Battery Saver

limits background app activity

to prolong battery life.

• At the moment, it’s either on or

off all the time (there’s a toggle

in the app), but a future update

will allow it to only kick in when

your battery gets below a

certain level.

10. Give Some Feedback…

• Feedback notifications will

appear from time to time to

ask your opinion (see 7.

New notifications, above),

but you can also launch the

Feedback app using its Start

menu Live Tile to give your

thoughts on any Windows

10 feature.

• You’ll also be able to see

what other users have given

feedback about and vote for

the suggestions you like.

Thank You!
