The official release of Windows 10 will have to wait for a while, but we've learned a lot about Microsoft's next-generation operating system. From the Windows version of Xbox and desktop Cortana to the revived Start menu and the new Multitasking tool, the new platform brings a whole host of new features. We've selected 10 of the best new features from them.

1. Start Menu regression

That's what critics of Windows 8 have been complaining about, and Microsoft finally decided to get the Start menu back. Now, when you click the Start button at the bottom left of the screen, you'll see two side-by-side panels, and the left column shows the apps that have been pinned, recently used, and most frequently used.

You'll also get a power button at the top of the options such as Hibernate, Standby, and Shutdown, all with the Windows 8 style. The right column gives you a series of live tiles that you can customize, resize, and rearrange. In addition, the search field below will not only look for programs and files (this is the same as Windows 7), but also find relevant results from the Internet.

Even more amazing, you can expand the Start menu to full screen at any time, and you don't have to rely solely on the start screen in the modern UI.

2. Desktop version of Cortana

Lazy do not delay work, all easy to fix. Windows 10 will move Microsoft's voice-controlled digital assistant Cortana to a desktop computer, so you can more easily manipulate your device without having to move any fingers. You can search for specific files on your hard drive, pick photos on a specific date, or start a PowerPoint presentation, just tell your PC what to do. You can even tell Cortana to send e-mail while you're working on a spreadsheet, and multitasking is easier and faster.

3.Xbox applications

With the advent of the Windows 10 Xbox app, you'll soon be able to play any Xbox One game on your PC or tablet. The next generation of operating systems will support the Xbox streaming technology (via your home network), and the speed of operation and graphics quality will be improved, thanks to DirectX 12 support. This app allows you to use game DVR to record, edit and share your own moments of victory, which also allows you to capture the first 30 seconds of the game so you don't miss an unexpected victory. You can also invite friends from Windows 10 or the Xbox platform to join the game and see their friends ' activities from Xbox Live.

4.Project Spartan Browser

Forget about Internet Explorer. This browser, which has always been spit-nosed, will be replaced by the latest release of Project Spartan. New features include PDF support, reading mode (designed to improve the layout of lengthy articles), and new notes features. The Notes feature allows you to doodle on any page and then share your annotations with your friends by sliding into the social networking options given in the menu, and you don't have to leave the browser for that. There's also a better feature, with Cortana support built into the Project Spartan browser, so that when you visit the site and perform the hotel details on the site or pick up the next flight time, she can pull context-sensitive information directly from those sites, without having to rely on your email at all.

5. Improved multi-task processing mechanism

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image010 "style=" border-top:0px; border-right:0px; Background-image:none; border-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-left:0px; margin:0px; border-left:0px; padding-right:0px "border=" 0 "alt=" clip_image010 "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/6F/AE/ Wkiom1wkutojjk-raablrmalh00100.jpg "" 244 "height=" 139 "/>

The new multi-desktop feature allows you to run another set of Windows, just like on another screen, without having to add another physical display. This is similar to the Spaces feature on Apple OS X Systems, which can help you manage the many windows and apps that are now open. On the same desktop, multiple open windows do not have to be stacked on top of each other, and you can build another virtual desktop and put all of them into it. Build a dedicated master desktop and put apps like Netflix and Amazon in it, and build another desktop that's dedicated to putting in Word, Excel, and Internet Explorer programs that are now open.

The new desktop feature also spawned a new way to keep track of the various apps that are now open on Windows 10 systems. On a new generation of operating systems, to bring up a single page view with all the apps and files open, you can click on the new Task View button on the taskbar, or you can swipe the left edge of the screen. This approach is not much different than pressing the ALT + TAB shortcut key directly on the keyboard, but for touch users, this approach makes it easier to bring up the overview view of the current running object.

Microsoft has also updated the Snap View multitasking feature to allow you to dock a window to four corners of the screen. Although you have been able to split the display screen between apps, the number of programs that you can display side by side is limited by the current device screen resolution. This system will even suggest that you can use other open apps to occupy free screen space, which is called Snap Assist.

6. Global Application

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image013 "style=" border-top:0px; border-right:0px; Background-image:none; border-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-left:0px; margin:0px; border-left:0px; padding-right:0px "border=" 0 "alt=" clip_image013 "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/6F/AE/wKiom1WkutSR_ Htwaabvgvddofu924.jpg "" 244 "height=" 141 "/>

In order to switch devices more smoothly, Microsoft is about to launch a new category, global applications that use the same program code, but whose interface adapts to the devices in your hands. The company will also bundle a set of self-developed global applications in this operating system, including Photos, Videos, Music, Maps, People & Messaging, and Mail & Calendar, which will be used on tablets, phones and Play the exact same function on your PC. This content will be stored and synchronized by Microsoft's OneDrive for cloud services, so you can switch to another device at any time.

In these applications, some applications such as Photos are the latest software to be introduced. With the help of OneDrive, Photos can pull images from your PC and mobile devices and organize, enhance, and sync them. The system can even detect duplicates, ensuring that only one copy is saved for an image, and it can automatically create a beautifully pleasing album for you. The Mail app has also been significantly modified to become an Outlook version with a Microsoft Word-based editor.

Touch Support for 7.Office applications

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image014 "style=" border-top:0px; border-right:0px; Background-image:none; border-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-left:0px; margin:0px; border-left:0px; padding-right:0px "border=" 0 "alt=" clip_image014 "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/6F/AE/ Wkiom1wkutsrbvnuaabgjrsfvbq097.jpg "" 244 "height=" 122 "/>

The new Office apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook will provide a touch-first interface for phones, tablets, and PCs. The previously persistent ribbon at the top of the windows of these apps has now become an app bar that appears only when you need it. In Outlook, you can delete messages directly from your Inbox by simply swiping each entry to the left. Swipe right to mark the current message. These apps look and operate on mobile devices exactly the same as the PC side, so mobile devices can also enjoy a more intimate user experience.

8. Continuum

With the rise of notebook tablet hybrid devices, Microsoft intends to further simplify the switch between the two modes. The system will detect if you've plugged in a keyboard or mouse and switch modes for a more convenient interactive experience. If you move out of the keyboard/mouse, a notification will pop up at the bottom of the taskbar asking if you want to activate Tablet mode. If you activate this mode, the system will enable a profile that is more appropriate for touch operations. Once again, dock your tablet to the keyboard, and you'll receive the same prompt, and this time you'll be asked if you want to quit Tablet mode.

9. Operation Center

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image017 "style=" border-top:0px; border-right:0px; Background-image:none; border-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-left:0px; margin:0px; border-left:0px; padding-right:0px "border=" 0 "alt=" clip_image017 "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/6F/AB/ Wkiol1wkvk3am8kxaabi4co-kes896.jpg "" 244 "height=" 139 "/>

Windows 10 takes a whole new path for you to see all the notification messages in one place. Action Center replaces the menu that slides to the right of the screen on a Windows 8 device. It is responsible for collecting alert messages from your device and all apps, similar to the notification rollout on IOS and Android. Depending on your application, you can also respond or react directly from this panel, and each notification can be expanded and more actions are displayed. The Action Center also provides a quick way to quickly switch connection options and display other setup options such as brightness and contrast.

10. Unified Settings/Control Panel

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image019 "style=" border-top:0px; border-right:0px; Background-image:none; border-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-left:0px; border-left:0px; padding-right:0px "border=" 0 "alt=" clip_image019 "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/6F/AB/ Wkiol1wkvk2yfh6daabk22xrod8233.jpg "" 244 "height=" 139 "/>

Instead of using two apps to control device settings and PC settings separately in the Control Panel, Microsoft has categorized the two as unified to reduce confusion. You can manage your device directly from one location, without having to look for a specific menu.

With the advent of Windows official public release date, Microsoft is expected to add more features, so please look forward to more information.
