Into With Windows 8.1 environment is friendly

We tried it on a computer typically work: a Dell Latitude E6430S in the Pro edition Deliberately a traditional PC, so no touchscreen, just because of this kind of computer since Windows 8 has created some problems for the ‘interface distinctly skewed towards the touch-sensitive display. With the touch even the new Windows 8.1 is enhanced, now offering two levels of the Start menu: an upper with classic interactive Tile, one less accessible by tapping the down arrow that shows the complete list of installed applications. A setting that reflects what has been seen in Windows Phone 8. But it is not the only one: the touchscreen experience is rewarding for a series of improvements widespread. On notebooks will appreciate the return to the classic button to access the Start menu. Only that leads right to the aforementioned panel with Tile, but here Microsoft stepped in and offers a successful cross between Windows 7 and Windows 8.

They are also interesting Into the f unctions accessible with the right mouse button always on the Start menu: From this pane contextual you can reboot or shutdown the PC but also access to frequently used functions. At the showdown, this addition, the taskbar reorganized and a general reassessment of the windows provide an improved user experience coupled with the classic mouse and keyboard. How to say it with Windows 8.1 in the absence of a touchscreen finally we can be enhanced by a more fluid and less oriented gestures. Sure, better take into account a period of learning in step 7, but shorter than the 8 and, in any case, less challenging.

Into Microsoft on this front is promoted because it is acted wisely on the operating system without altering the logic. Other measures relate to an improved management of the apps side by side, each vying their own half of the screen, and a powerful search system based on Bing. Of note, as a structural element, the upper integration with SkyDrive, which further reduce s the distance between the file and the files stored on the hard disk and those in the cloud. Now the storage service is fully part of Windows 8.1. Last but not least the Store redesigned and more modern and attractive, which provides better access to more apps available, and Internet Explorer 11. In addition to superior performance, the browser has an improved interface for both touch on both the mouse. Finally, we enjoyed the actions of Mail, and bridges the future the ability to set clearly the 3D printers. Therefore, the road test confirms that Windows 8.1 delivers on its promises and makes it more user-friendly operating system from Microsoft.
