Development history:

1.Windows was announced by Microsoft in November 1983 and released two years later (November 1985). 2.Windows version 2.0 was officially launched on the market in 1987.11. This version has made some improvements to the user interface. The 2.0 version also enhances the keyboard and mouse interface, in particular by adding feature sheets and dialog boxes. 3.windows3.0, released on May 22, 1990, combines win/286 and win/386 into the same product. Windows was the first version to gain a foothold in the home and office markets. 4. Version 3.1 is 1992.4 released, like os/2 ,Windows3.1 can only operate in protected mode and requires a PC with a minimum of 286 or 386 processors configured with 1MB of memory. 5. Windows NT, released in July 1993, was the first version to support the 32-bit protected mode of the intel386, 486, and Pentium CPUs. NT can also be ported to non- Intel platforms and work on several workstations that use RISC wafers. The 6.windows95 was released in 1995.8 months. Although some features in NT are missing, such as high security and portability of RISC machines, 95 has the advantage of requiring less hardware resources. released in June 1998, 7.WINDOWS98 has many enhancements, including improved performance, better hardware support, and a closer integration of an international network and a Global Information Network (WWW). 8.WindowsME is an operating system that is between 98SE and 2000, and is intended to be a similar feature for those unable to meet the 2000 hardware standards, but in fact this version of thewindows has a lot of problems, losing 2000 of its stability and failing to meet 98 of low-profile requirements, so it's quickly abandoned by the public. The birth of 9.windows2000 is a remarkable thing, the February 17, 2000 release of the 2000 is known as the most stable operating system, its development from NT, while starting from 2000, formally abandoned the 9X kernel. Today, there are still many computers that use this operating system. 10. On the basis of 2000, security features have been enhanced, while the technology for verifying piracy has increased, and the term "activated" became the most important word in the computer in 2001.10.25. Also, the naming of XP has been widely disseminated, and various types of software "XP" have been enacted. At some point, Windows XP is one of the most easy-to-use operating systems. 11.2006 years in November, with the Trans-era Vista system release, it triggered a hardware revolution, is the PC formally into dual-core, large (memory, hard disk) generation. However, because of Vista's usage habits and XP have a certain difference, the compatibility of hardware and software causes its popularity is passable, but its gorgeous interface and dazzling special effects are commendable. 12.Windows 7 was released in the United States on October 22, 2009 and officially launched in China on October 23, 2009 afternoon. Windows 7 is designed to focus on five key points-specific to laptops, design based on application services, personalization of users, optimization of audio-visual entertainment, and new engine for user usability . 13.2012 October 26, Windows8 in the United States officially launched. Windows 8 supports chip architectures from Intel, AMD and ARM, and is used on PCs and tablets, especially mobile touch devices such as touch-screen phones, tablets, and more. The system has a good battery life and starts faster, consumes less memory, and is compatible with the software and hardware supported by Windows 7. In addition, in the interface design, the use of planar design. .Windows 10 was the last version of Windows released by Microsoft , and Windows 10 drastically reduced the development phase. Since October 1, 2014, Windows 10 has undergone technical Preview (Technical Preview) and Insider Preview (Beta), and the next generation of Windows will appear as an Update . WINDOWS10 will release 7 releases, each targeting different users and devices. From 12 o'clock on July 29, 2015, Windows 10 push is fully powered on, Windows7, Windows8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10, and users can upgrade to WIN10 by means of system upgrades. Windows 10 drastically reduces the development phase. Since October 1, 2014, Windows 10 has undergone technical Preview (Technical preview) and insider preview
