Windows 10 has already arrived on systems and is loaded with new features, improvements and security updates. Released in four versions, namely. Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education, was officially introduced on September 30, 2014. Windows 8 attracted criticism from many companies, although it was also preferred by some. Microsoft has taken all feedback into consideration, fixed various problems, modified and added Windows 10. The new operating system may initially seem complex to users. So we thought we'd introduce you to the supposedly best version of the operating system to date.
First of all, let's start by listing the official Microsoft Minimum system requirements for Windows 10, which is as follows:
- 1 GHz or faster processor or SoC
- 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit OS or 2 GB for 64-bit OS
- 16GB for 32-bit or 20GB for 64-bit OS of hard disk space
- Graphic card DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
- Display of × 800 600
Users running Windows XP or Windows Vista must purchase a copy of Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store or another reseller, as there is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 10. Whereas users running a Eligible version of Windows 7 (SP1) or Windows 8 / 8.1 can be upgraded for free to Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro during the first year of general availability.
Microsoft has made this Windows 10 something fully integrated that works across all platforms, namely. PC, tablet, phone and you want it to function as a service, rather than a "replaceable with another number" version. So Windows 10 will be considered as a complete software that will have regular updates. After its release in July 2015, Microsoft promised its support for a decade of Windows 10 service. Now let's take a look at the key features that make Threshold (its codename) a killer operating system.
The good start menu
That millions of users were missing in Windows 8 is back. If you are one of those who loathe Live Tiles and the Metro interface, you can right-click on each of the default settings in the Start menu and select Uninstall to delete them from your system. (Or just Unlock from Start if you'd rather hide them rather than root them.) However, if you appreciate combining the traditional interface with Live Tiles, please note that you can right-click on any tile and select Resize to change the size of the tile.
The neat virtual desktop
With Windows 10 Virtual Desktop, users can switch between desktops as they wish, helping them do more tasks while switching between multiple open desktops. This also allows you to do the work in an orderly and organized way. By clicking on Activity view from the taskbar and then clicking Add a desktop, a thumbnail will appear at the bottom of the activity view page. Click on a blank thumbnail to open a clean desktop. Users can also switch an open application from one virtual desktop to another via this feature.

Open the new version of Windows 10 Experimental tab and check the box next to Enable the functions of the experimental console. Finally, check the boxes next to Enable new keyboard shortcuts Ctrl Y Extended modification keys, then click ok.

Edge browser
Developed by Microsoft under the code name Project Spartan, Edge will be the default browser in Windows 10 to give you a better web experience. Internet Explorer will ship with the operating system, but will basically be available in an unchanged version, namely IE11 which was found in Windows 7 and 8.1.
Advanced apps
The Mail and Calendar apps are faster, more comprehensive, and easier to use than before. The new mail allows you to customize your application using the added customization options.

If you have an update pending, you will see the screen on the left, which allows you to schedule the reboot after selecting the Select a restart time radio button.
