Windows 10 Awesome features
Let’s take a quick look at some of the best features of Windows 10. There’s a ton of changes, so this doesn’t even scratch the surface, but it’s at least a start.
1. Cortana
Cortana is making its way to the PC in Windows 10 and it’s an awesome feature. You can add things to her Notebook —like a real assistant – so she starts to learn what kinds of cuisines you like, what sports teams you follow and more.
She’ll immediately provide that information and things like the weather, upcoming flight plans and more, all from your Windows 10 taskbar. Cortana exists in two forms, either as an icon or as a full search bar, and you can call her up by voice using the “Hey Cortana” command, or manually.
2. Window Hello
Passwords are dumb these days. They also aren’t very secure if you’re just taping them to the side of your monitor anyway. That’s why Microsoft built Windows Hello, its biometric based security system.
You can use iris scanners already built into some computers your face or your fingerprint to jump right into your computer. We tested it and it works flawlessly and quickly, and we’re told they can’t be faked with photos or other dupes.
Important -Windows Hello requires Specialized hardware. including Fingerprint reader, illuminated IR sensor or other biomatric sensors.
3. Start Menu
It esay to add a Start menu to early iterations of Windows but the real deal Start menu is making its triumphant return after it was last seen in Windows 7.
It’s even better than before, too, and Microsoft says it specifically made tweaks based on input from Windows Insider testers. You can keep it nice and small or resize it to take over your whole screen if you want. You can also customize it to your content with four different live tile sizes (small, medium, wide and large), drag and drop applications around and more.
For me, it’s where I can quickly see the weather, check out a few headlines and open up my most used apps, and it’s easily the best version of the smart menu ever.
4. Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is a new Browser of windows. A Replacement for Internet Explorer. You can finally pin tabs, you can take a snapshot of the screen and draw on it in OneNote, share pages right from the browser and more.
favorite feature, however, is its built-in Cortana support. If you go to a website for a restaurant, for example, Cortana will pop up at the top of the screen and let you know she has the hours, directions and more. Also, if you ever come across a word or something you don’t understand, you can right click and “Ask Cortana” for more information.
Other features include light/dark modes, a Reading List and the ability to read in a special “reading view” that makes the page much more reader friendly.
5. Multitask
Get to done faster by better managing your desktop. Snap up to four things on one screen at the same time and create virtual desktops whenever you need more space or want to group things by project, like Office apps for work and games for play.all work in same time.
