THE BIG DAY Windows 10 arrived. Starting today, the new Microsoft operating system will be available for download, with a free upgrade to most users. But not all will receive immediately: over a billion computer and install Windows to update them all it will take months. From today, however, the first users, such as those that have tested in its various versions, are installing and trying W10. After the first 5 million ‘guinea pigs’, the download will be possible for those who have booked online and only then to everyone else.
“The release of the new version is going well”, he tells the company. A crucial moment given the problems on which Microsoft has stumbled in recent releases. “It is the first time we try to do a release of this magnitude, but for now everything is ok, there is a lot of interest.” Before we get started then: if the download or installation there is jammed, Microsoft provides some solutions here together with the guide for download. Not everyone can have it right away, though. It’s up to the person who first tested (about 5
> Up to 29 July 2016, upgrade to Windows 10 will be free for those who already have a license for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, or for those who purchase a new device with one of these versions installed. For the smartphone version of Windows 10 instead, we must wait, perhaps in the fall, according to rumors. For Windows Vista and XP instead have to buy it at $ 119.
Forgot your password goodbye. Our iris is the ‘that is needed to access the new operating system from Microsoft. Among the many new features of Windows 10, one of the most striking is its biometric recognition with Windows Hello, who can read the face, iris, or even our fingerprints. Access should be hacker-proof to kick off, from the words of the CEO Satya Nadella, a “more personal computer era in the world of mobile devices and cloud services”, with two main objectives: the simplicity of ‘use and protection of privacy.
Multi-platform. The main feature of the new product out of the house of Redmond is the cross-device capabilities: mobility, integration of mobile, tablet, desktop with Continuum, a universal software that takes us to use a ‘fluid ‘of our technological devices. The layout is flexible and adapts to the GUI screen of each device.
Apart from the biometric recognition that significantly raises the level of privacy, there is a new browser that has to compete with Firefox and Chrome It’s called Edge and Explorer will replace and their performance, according to those who have tested, it is very good. An interesting thing you can do is show graphically some areas of the pages and then save them or share them with OneNote.
Voice guidance. Here comes the ‘sister’ of Siri, Cortana, the voice recognition software that has made its entry last year of Windows Phone and who is responsible for the role of “personal assistant”. In this case, however, it is the first assistant to make its appearance on the computer and not just on mobile devices. You can give her (or him) commands to the operating system, dictate an email, ask questions, including the weather, directions, the latest news and updates. You can also search for files to your computer, without remembering the title. Just say the arguments contained in the text.
A new beginning. Back also the Start button, which was much loved by loyal users and Microsoft that was gone for no reason in Windows 8 (and partially reintroduced nell’8.1). Now you can go click on the one that has always been the reference point on the desktop, because on that button, go up a bit ‘of everything, there are files and documents, applications and programs.
There will be 11. The developer Jerry Nixon announced that “it will be the latest version of Windows.” Just as there was a Windows 9, as a sign of discontinuity, there will be no Windows 11, because the updates are automatic as well as with the iPhone. A study conducted by Kadence International estimates that the new operating system will be well received: 47% of respondents said they were ready to make the update now. And who are downloading the positive comments on social networks.
social irony. On twitter users already seem satisfied within hours of download. “Outstanding! Microsoft Edge revolutionizes the way you surf the Internet and the new icons that show !!”. This one of the most celebratory tweets, especially for browser Edge, among the new features most appreciated.
Then there are those who say they are excited as children for the arrival of this new ‘Gift’, and there is The irony, of course, the alleged ‘slowness’ downloading the operating system.
