Windows 10: An Introduction

Posted by Phone Help Desk on February 29th, 2016

Globally launched on 29 July 2016, Windows 10 is the latest and upgraded operating system fromWorld’s leading technology giant Microsoft for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 users. 29 July is the latest Windows 10 release date and it is the descendant to Windows 8 (and Windows 8.1).With the latest release, enterprise users can manage company-wide rollouts for Windows 10 updates. The newest OS runs well on a variety of desktops, tablets, laptops, smartphones, Xbox One, Surface Hub, HoloLens, and embedded devices. Microsoft Edge is the biggest feature of Windows 10 as it clearly replaces Internet Explorer as default browser for the OS.

According to a definition from Techterms.com, “Windows 10 is a major version of the Microsoft Windows operating system that was released on July 29, 2015. It is built on the Windows NT kernel and follows Windows 8. Part of the reason Microsoft decided to name the 2015 release "Windows 10" (and skipped "Windows 9") is because the operating system is designed to be a new direction for Microsoft. One of the primary aims of Windows 10 is to unify the Windows experience across multiple devices, such desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. As part of this effort, Microsoft developed Windows 10 Mobile alongside Windows 10 to replaces Windows Phone – Microsoft's previous mobile OS. Windows 10 also integrates other Microsoft services, such as Xbox Live and the Cortana voice recognition assistant.”

As a part of the Windows NT family of OSs, Windows 10 is introduced as a "universal" application architecture from Microsoft and described as an "operating system as a service”.
