Question

what is the feacher of window

Answer 1

Windows 10 has been around for two years, but chances are you’ve just bought a new laptop or PC and you’re seeing it for the first time.

Those upgrading from Windows 7 should feel quite at home as not a great deal has changed in the way everything works. The Start menu is bit different, Cortana is likely bugging you to try her out and there are a few new apps which effectively replace old one (but those are – on the whole - still there if you look for them).

We think Windows 10 is better than any previous version of Windows in virtually every way, and you shouldn’t worry about privacy: you can tailor exactly what information is fed back to Microsoft, and we’ll explain how to do it.

What’s new in Windows 10?

In short, quite a lot. Too much to cover here, but you can read our Windows 10 reviewfor all the details.

To summarise, and this isn’t an exhaustive list, this lot is new:

Cortana, your voice- or text- activated personal assistantPhotos, a new app for viewing and editingGroove, a replacement for Windows Media PlayerPeople, an app to keep important contact detailsEdge browser, a replacement for Internet ExplorerMail, an app that works with most common email accountsWindows Store, where you can download free and paid-for appsSettings, an easier to use Control PanelAction Centre, a pop-out sidebar for notificationsVirtual desktopsTask View, which is an easier way to arrange multiple windows on screen3D Paint, available in the Creators Update


Despite these new apps and features, Microsoft has kept all the old apps including Paint, Windows Media Player and the old Control Panel, so you can use those if you really don’t like the new versions.

We’ve explained how to set those old programs as the defaults in our Quick fixes for Windows 10 guide.

We recommend trying the new apps, though, as they’re genuinely better than their predecessors, being both easier to use and more powerful.

Almost everything else works the same way as in previous versions of Windows and it’s possible to do everything you’re used to without using any of the new features, though you’ll miss out on a lot of the good stuff if you don’t.

Microsoft login

One change in Windows 10 is that you can (but aren’t forced to) create a Microsoft account when you first sign in. Using a Microsoft account is much like a Google or Apple account on an Android or iPhone.

It allows certain things to be synchronised across all your Windows 10 computers, such as you wallpaper and desktop layout so that they all look the same. It also shares settings and bookmarks and makes it far easier to upgrade to a new Windows 10 computer.
