Abstract:

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system released by Microsoft as

part of
the Windows NT family of operating systems. Officially unveiled in September 2014
following a brief demo at Build 2014, the operating system entered a public beta
testing process in October 2014, leading up to and continuing through the consumer
release of Windows 10 on July 29, 2015, [3] and its release to volume licensing on
August 1, 2015. To encourage its adoption, Microsoft announced that during its first
year of availability, Windows 10 would be made available free of charge to users
of genuine copies of eligible editions of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
Windows 10 introduces what Microsoft described as a "universal" application
architecture; expanding on Metro-style apps, these apps can be designed to run
across multiple Microsoft product families with nearly identical code
including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface
Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10's user interface was revised to handle transitions
between a mouse-oriented interface and atouchscreen-optimized interface based on
available input devicesparticularly on laplets; both interfaces include an
updated Start menu that comprises a design similar to Windows 7 with 8's tiles.
Windows 10 also introduces Task View, a virtual desktop system, the Microsoft
Edge web browser and other new or updated applications, integrated support
for fingerprint and face recognition login, new security features for enterprise
environments, DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's
graphics capabilities for games.
