Bombshell: Windows 7 Gets the Boot when it Comes to Next-Gen CPUs

January 19, 2016 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Bombshell Windows 7 Gets the Boot when it Comes to Next-Gen CPUs

Bombshell: Windows 7 gets the boot when it comes to next-gen CPUs because Microsoft will cease to provide support, says the company. Most likely a strategy to forcefully-push their Windows 10 OS, which has had a quite impressive start.

Although Windows 10 has a lot of redeeming qualities, there are still a lot of pesky issues that keep users not wanting to change from Windows 7 and 8. However, the time will come when upgrading your rig won’t be an option if you don’t plan on moving further with your OS as well.

Terry Myerson, Devices Group Executive and Windows Vice President, has taken to the official Windows Blog to announce the company’s decision. The post starts with Myerson praising how well Windows 10 performs when paired with Intel’s 6th generation Skylake CPUs. Myerson adds that it makes graphics better by up to 30x, and it increases battery life by 3x.

But, unfortunately for us Windows 7/8 users, Myerson’s news aren’t that great. The VP, while acknowledging that there are still a lot of people still using older Win OSes, and that transitioning to Win 10 is quite hard, especially for businesses, says the clock is ticking, and we will eventually have to jump ship.

Ten years ago, Windows 7 was designed. That’s before x64/x86 SOCs even existed. For Win 7 to run properly on any new modern piece of tech, firmware and device drivers are needed to emulate the OS’s expectations when it comes to power states, bus support and interrupt processing. This is extremely challenging for security, graphics, WiFi and more, says Myerson.

The company will continue to support Windows 7 – compatibility, reliability, and security; on last-gen CPUs, until January 14, 2020. Windows 8 and 8.1 gets a similar treatment, yet their date is a little bit extended to January 10, 2023.

With new silicon generations introduced, writes Myerson, they will need the latest Windows OS, at the time, to work. Take Intel’s upcoming CPU Kirby Lake, AMD’s Bristol Ridge, and Qualcomm’s 8996 – all three will work only if the user has Windows 10.

A list will be available next week, regarding what Skylake devices the company will continue to support on Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. It will be maintained until next year – July 17, 2017. Afterwards, only the most quintessential Windows 7 and 8/8.1 security update will roll out for said configurations. If it doesn’t pose as a risk to the compatibility or reliability of the Windows 7 or 8/8.1 on other devices, that is.

The news is quite shocking, mainly because a large number of Windows users haven’t taken the step forward to install Microsoft’s latest OS. Partly because the internet is riddled with articles that bash how terribly-made Windows 10 is, and because people just don’t want to move to something that they might not like, when they are happy with what they already have.

Goodbye USB Cable, Welcome Xbox One PC Wireless Adapter

October 12, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Xbox One PC wireless adapter costs $25

It’s time to say farewell to the USB cable and give a warm welcome to the Xbox One PC wireless adapter for Windows. However, not every kind of Windows. The dongle will only work on Windows 10.

Every gamer understands this – wireless is way better than wired. Yes, you do lose the constant power juice, but you get to add more points in convenience and comfortable gaming sessions. It should go without mention that going wireless also makes your room look more tidy-up, and you don’t have to worry that your roommate could trip and drag cables across the room – I’m looking at you Michael.

PC gamers didn’t really have a choice to go wireless with the Microsoft Xbox One controller. It was wired or nothing at all. Microsoft is hoping gamers will take full advantage of their new Windows 10 OS. A feat previous versions of Windows can’t uphold – the ability to make the Xbox One controller wireless.

But this doesn’t come at small price. The Xbox One PC Wireless Adapter will cost $25 and it will be available for purchase starting the 20th of October. A hefty price considering that the gamepad costs $60 alone. This puts it at $85 if you plan to purchase them both at the same time. This is assuming that you plan to buy a different one for your living room or work gaming sessions. That is, if you don’t mind just walking with one controller from point A to point B.

Xbox One PC wireless adapter is set to launch on the 20th of October

Microsoft doesn’t seem to specify if the dongle works with other versions of Windows i.e. Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1. Is there anyone out there that still uses Windows XP for uhm, anything?

We all get it that Microsoft is trying to push more units of Windows 10 – whether they are free or not; and more Xbox One exposure, but it could really be a nasty move if they don’t plan on giving some support to aforementioned Windows users.

I’m quite curious. If Microsoft does indeed limit their new dongle to work solely on Windows 10, will a community made app surface enabling the dongle to work on other Windows OSes? If that does happen, then Microsoft could face a humongous consumer backlash. You see, why not make it available for the entire Windows spectrum if the dongle is more than capable?

Yet, we at AFP suspect that Microsoft isn’t that keen to support older versions of Windows.

When the time comes, you can buy your Xbox One PC wireless adapter from the official Xbox.com store.

What are you planning to get your game on with the new Xbox One PC wireless adapter? I know that I’ll be preparing for Star Wars: Battlefront by playing some Battlefield and the likes. I’ll probably swoop into The Witcher 3 because I’m still stuck in Skellige even though I clock more than 150 hours of game time.

Amazon Confirms Windows 10 on USB Flash Drive

July 19, 2015 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

Microsoft Windows 10

Amazon has confirmed that they will be selling Windows 10 on an USB Flash Drive starting August the 30th.

Forbes contributor Antony leather was talking about this exact thing last week – a rumor regarding Windows 10 availability on an USB Flash Drive.

This makes it even more appealing, to be honest. Having an OS on an USB Flash Drive which you can carry around with you everywhere may entice a lot of customers to buy the dongle. Most importantly, it’s way faster than your average DVD.

Microsoft Windows 10 on a stick

If you go on Amazon right now, you’ll be able to see the Microsoft Windows 10 store page for it’s Home, and Pro Versions.

The Windows 10 Home product will cost $119,99, and the Pro versions – which can come in English, or Spanish; will retail at $199,99.

Microsoft has announced that Amazon is their prime merchant of their, at the current moment, unreleased OS.

It’s strange, to be honest. The dongle isn’t available on Microsoft’s official store, and neither at Best Buy. A Microsoft spokesperson has replied to a few questions from VentureBeat, regarding the unavailability to buy from other online retailers – ” Windows 10 will be available on USB drives for purchase in retail channels shortly after launch. The suggested retail prices for Windows 10 in the U.S. are the same as Windows 8.1.”

Microsoft Windows 10 desktop

The official release date for Windows 10 is set to 29th of July, and it can be downloaded for free across 190 markets across the world.

We expect an announcement to be made soon regarding Windows 10 on DVD.

Rumors have been plaguing the interwebz that Microsoft will tax Windows 10 users after the first free year of usage. They are incredibly false. Microsoft has stated time, and time again, that their product will support the device which was installed on for the entirety of its life-time.

Gordon Kelly, which also is a Forbes contributor has noted that owners of Windows 7, or Windows 8.1 are eligible for a free upgrade within the first year, but Enterprise owners – basically, different editions; of Windows 7, and 8.1, won’t be able to upgrade. Neither those who have pirated copies.

Microsoft Edge - Windows 10 Browser

Edge is going to be the next step from Internet Explorer.

This is quite strange, because in March of this year I remember Microsoft saying that everyone could upgrade to Windows 10 – which was a way to combat piracy in China.

We will provide a mechanism for non-genuine Windows 10 PC devices to ‘get genuine’ via the new Windows Store, whether they are upgraded versions of Windows or purchased.

Now, this feels like a bait-and-switch strategy which I seriously don’t like. We’ll have to wait for the official release date, and see for ourselves what Microsoft statement is true.

Are you going to upgrade to Windows 10 at the end of this month? Or are you going to wait a couple of months for reviewers to tackle the new OS?

Windows 10 Got a Release Date!

June 2, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Windows 10 UI

July the 29th is the date that Windows 10 will start to roll out!

Some of you may have noticed a notification in the Notification Area – it’s in your Taskbar, you can’t miss it!

If you don’t see the Windows 10 free upgrade in your Taskbar, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that you won’t get the new sweet FREE OS from Microsoft. It just means that they haven’t managed to send the memo to your PC – notifications seem to roll out totally random.

The really great thing with Windows 10 is that we don’t have to wait in line to buy the product, it comes digitally, and if you choose to install the free OS in the first year of its release, it will offer free security upgrades for the entirety of its life.

Pretty cool to be honest. Here are some feature highlights.

Microsoft store is going to be a huge thing in the future – or at least, that’s what the big M wishes. In all fairness, having a in-built store in Windows 10 doesn’t seem that bad, and I fully applaud the idea – giving your credit card, and personal info to various websites on the internet doesn’t bode well with me; having one store from where I can shop securely puts my mind at peace.

Is Windows 10 any different from Windows 8? 

When Windows 8 was released, Microsoft was drunk on Windows 7 glory, and thought they could get away with everything – like changing the UI layout. God, I absolutely hated Windows 8 when I first started using it. Everything seemed to be made with tablets in mind.

If you’ve missed out on 8, and will be jumping to Windows 10 from 7 you won’t have to go through the first week of How do I even shutdown my computer? horror.

Windows 10 Desktop

If you got all lovey dovey with Windows 8, I got some bad news for you – you’ll need to get accustomed to the UI layout again.

Besides changing Control Panel to App Settings – which I don’t really think is that of a good idea – Windows 10 will feature Windows Edge. It was known as Project Spartan until Microsoft’s 2015 Build Event, and it’s basically Internet Explorer remodelled – deeply, to the core remodelled.

We were presented a browser that was still in its alpha stage, and we really didn’t see much of it in action, but here’s hoping that Edge will have all of it’s chromosomes – not unlike hi’s older, uhm, more special sibling Internet Explorer.

Windows 10 Browser

Anyone can upgrade to Windows 10 for FREE – including those who have pirated copies – but if you’re planning on giving your device a new face-lift, you kinda need to take a look at Windows 10’s system requirements.

  • 1  GHz or faster
  • 1 GB of RAM for the 32-bit version
  • 2 GB of RAM for the 64-bit version
  • 16 GB of free storage space
  • Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
  • Microsoft Account
  • Internet Access

Here are the Top Announcements Made at Microsoft’s Build

May 4, 2015 By Michael Turner 1 Comment

Microsoft's Build was one of the greatest events of 2015

Microsoft’s Build was exceptional this year. Android apps on Windows Phone, a new browser called Edge, and the awesomely jaw-dropping HoloLens. I can say without a doubt that 2015 was, is, and will be a great year for Microsoft.

Just in case you missed the conference, you can watch all the sessions on their official website.

Let’s start with…

  • Android Apps On Windows Phone

Microsoft's Build had some love for Windows Phone users

It has been rumoured for a long time now that Windows will support iOS and Android apps. The apps won’t translate directly to the Windows-based device, but developers have made it easier for those who wish to do so, by releasing a number of tools for app creators.

Windows Phone has struggled in the market – a device without Android apps, or iOS apps isn’t that popular nowadays; but now, with Microsoft’s intention of making Windows-based devices the home for universal apps, Windows Phone will be like a diamond in the rough, waiting for developers to shape it into a beautiful gem.

  • Windows Phone Equals Windows PC

Microsoft's Build detailed Windows 10 Continuum

One of the biggest announcements that was made at Microsoft’s Build was Windows 10 Continuum – sounds future’ish, right?

This is Microsoft’s big plan to turn your ordinary phone into a personal computer. Besides getting a free upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft’s new OS will have some cool new features too. Yes, you can scale it down so it is mobile friendly, but that isn’t the only awesome thing. You can even up-scale your mobile device, keeping the capabilities of your personal computer, to the big screen without a hitch.

Continuum stands for continuing everything you were doing like searching for a place on maps, reading an article, watching a video, or even playing a game – on the big screen!

  •  Goodbye Internet Explorer, Hello Edge!

Microsoft's Build presented the new browser called Edge

Internet Explorer was really great in its time, but not wanting to evolve like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and even Opera – I hate Opera – has made it one unstable little fiend. But no more, says Microsoft.

Project Spartan was kept under a closed lid for a couple of months, and finally they have announced what’s it really about – a new browser called Edge. A browser that isn’t going to crash because I opened another tab? Well, that’s a step up!

It will be on par with Chrome, and Firefox not only because it will feature a new architecture, but the Edge will also feature Cortana, and it will support browser extensions.

  • HoloLens, or ” The Story About the Boy Who Decided to Never Leave His House Again!”

Microsoft's Build HoloLens is just pure magic

Although it is a work in progress virtual gear headset, it doesn’t seem to be all that buggy. Watch a little bit of their on-stage demo, and tell me that you don’t want that awesome toy for yourself. You can scale everything. Fancy cooking dinner, but also watching the latest Game of Thrones episode? No biggie. Scale the media player on the wall in front of you. Not in the mood of getting out of the bed to read the newspaper? No problem, scale articles in the ceiling so you can lay in bed all day.

When they say that you can scale everything, I hope that they mean it. I want to scale the dog to humongous proportions, not only because I want to scare my friends when they try out my HoloLens device, but who wouldn’t want a huge dog?

Plaster apps on your walls, make those apps follow your around, create your own virtual environment. The downside is that you’ll live in your own bubble, without decorating anything in your home, but if that’s the price we have to pay for advanced technology, then so be it!

  • Some Love for DirectX 12

Microsoft's Build, and Square Enix, presented some footage featuring DirectX 12

Although nothing major was presented at Microsoft’s Build this year regarding gaming, Square Enix showcased a demo featuring DirectX 12, and it was superb. The clip, titled Witch Chapter 0 [cry], can be seen on Youtube.

Those look like real tears, and more so, that women looks so real it’s kinda’ scary. The rig that pushed the graphics to the max in the presentation consists of a four GPUs that were capable of presenting 63 million polygons – that includes the whole environment.

 

That’s about it. There are some other announcements, but they weren’t so big. The not so important, but stil great announcements at Microsoft’s Build were:

– Azure Learning platform which is a machine that constantly learns and improves itself;

– Surface Hub, a 4k, 84-inch tablet, mounted smart table;

– Microsoft wants 1 billion devices with Windows 10 – a respectable goal, or a child’s dream?

 

The most important announcement that wasn’t made at this year’s Build was the release date of Windows 10. It’s still a mystery to all of us.

5 Steps Microsoft Needs to Take In Order To Revive The Windows Phone

March 29, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

It was not so long ago, when everybody believed that Microsoft will be a real contender concerning the mobile’s phone market. Not more than 4 year ago, some experts anticipated that the “Windows Phone” will rise above the iPhone and BlackBerry, clamming the second spot in the handheld device market, right under Android.

A smaller group of researchers even claimed that the company has enough potential to rise above Android, but we all know what has happened in the end; the iOS and Android are uncontested leaders.

After the purchase of Nokia and with the new hype concerning Windows 10, Microsoft looks refreshed and ready to undertake a spectacular comeback. IDC analyst, Ramon Llamas, said that

“When people say, ‘My life is on my smartphone,’ they’re not lying. Considering the power the smartphone has on people, it’s important for Microsoft to play there, and Microsoft has unique assets to bring to this space.”

With the release of the iPhone 6 and the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S6 as well as the HTC One M9, Microsoft will have to bring their A game in order to compete with these new super phones. After years of failed attempts, it is time for the gigantic American software producer to shine. These are 5 ways in which they can do that.

The Release of Premium Devices

Until the present day, Microsoft only focused on affordable smartphones. If we were to look at their unit shipments in 2014 then, we will notice that the strategy completely failed.  They only had a 4,2% in units shipped overseas, a figure which is way below the market’s average, that sits at 22,7%. In spite of that, they continue to concentrate on cheap and medium-end devices. Last week, they released their latest Lumia handset, called “Lumia 430” and it’s their lowest priced smartphone to date, costing only $70.

If they were also to focus on high-end devices then, they will attract a wider range of customers. Not only that, but at the same time, the company will actually be able to compete with Apple and Samsung. Producing a premium device will draw in attention to their other products as well. Now, we’ll have to wait and see, because Microsoft said that they will not even consider this idea until the release of Windows 10.

Windows 10

In order for a smartphone to do well in today’s market, consequently, the OS (Operating System) it comes with must be stable, easy to use and, last but not least, compatible on a wide range of gadgets. Apparently, Window 10 will work on PCs, tablets, smartphones and wearable devices. In addition, they will make it easier for developers to move their older apps to the environment of Windows 10. This will make things a lot smoother when transitioning to a new operating system.

Windows 10 looks rather good on paper, but the end product must deliver on its promises. It is more than likely that the success of this OS to determine the triumph of their mobile business. Not all of the Windows Phone’s problems have to do with the current OS, but a better one can’t hurt and will, most definitely, increase their market shares.

The preview version was released on the 18 of March, 2015, and we must admit that it’s coming along quite nicely but there are still a few issues to be fixed. In other words, Windows 10 is shaping up to be Microsoft’s best release yet.

Targeting Business Users

Although 2014 was not that great of a year for Microsoft, the Windows Phone grew 4,2% and managed to grab an additional 2,7% of the market. Experts predict that by the year 2018, the Windows OS will own more than 5,6% of the market. Nobody expects them to make a comeback over night, but in time they might be able to do just that.

With great apps like Skype, OneDrive and Office 360, there is no reason why they can’t appeal to a more business oriented customer. Business users are looking for a similar experience on all of their gadgets. They must also be able to target the specific needs of enterprise consumers.  Microsoft should not abandon consumers, but instead, expand towards productivity.

Remake Nokia

More than a year ago, Satya Nadella took over the CEO seat from his predecessor Steve Ballmer. It was Ballmer that eased the acquisition of Nokia for $7.2 billion, but the deal only went through after Nadella was in charge.  He then started the reimagining of Nokia and fired over 12,000 people across Europe and Asia. Many taught that under the new management, there will be a major improvement concerning Microsoft’s disposition toward hardware, but nothing has happened as of yet.

One has to wonder if Nadella would have purchased Nokia if he was CEO at that time and it is believed that he is even considering to sell the Nokia division, but nothing is for certain.

Draw in Developers

In order to attract more customers, they need to have a wider range of applications, but, at the same time, in order to have more developers willing to write for the Windows Phone, they need a bigger user pool. A simple solution to this problem is to create a universal platform.

They aim to develop a platform that will function on all of their devices, from PCs, to Xbox, smartphones and tablets. This will enable the construction of compelling apps for the mobile version of Windows a lot easier. This is a great idea, but nothing more than that and everybody is questioning  their ability to deliver.

Microsoft reinforced their commitment to grow their app portfolio in order to attract more customers. In a blog, posted in December, 2014, Microsoft’s own Todd Brix stated that both downloads and active users have increased in the past year.

Windows 10 Will Be Released This Summer In 190 Countries

March 20, 2015 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

This summer, Microsoft is planning a world wide launch of Windows 10, which will come equipped with a new biometric authentication system, that aims to be a replacement for the traditional passwords.Also,Windows 10 will be released this summer in 190 countries.

However, there hasn’t been given a specific date for the launch, the chief of Windows, Terry Myerson stated during a speech at the Windows Hardware Engineering Community summit that took place in Shenzhen China,  that the company is planning a summer release.

Windows-10-Blue-Wallpaper-3

Myerson wrote in a blog post, that Microsoft keeps on making serious progress, and they have shared with the entire world, they fact that Windows 10 will be released the upcoming summer in 190 countries and in 111 different languages.

He added that Windows has been present on a global level with over 1.5 billion users all over the world and in China there are currently hundreds of million of computers operating on Windows.

Microsoft didn’t respond right away to the request for commenting, regarding a more precise date for the release.

The company has high expectations from the new operating system and it would be the very first big chance of Microsoft to make forgotten the missteps of Windows 8. Microsoft has assured that Windows 10, which will be a free upgrade for users running Windows 7 or Windows 8, and will be run by every device, starting with desktops with huge hard drives to the low cost smart phones that have just one gigabyte to spare.

During his speech, Myerson took use of  the chance to talk about a new feature of the operating system, named Windows Hello, which stands for a new way of authentication process, that requires the face of the owner, its fingerprint or iris in order for the device to be unlocked.

This new option will be supported by a third party system, which includes Intel’s RealSense, a depth-sensing technology which is based on using  infrared cameras to detect the position and location of objects in space.

Biometric authentication, which certifies the identity of people thanks to their unique physical attributes, promises users to create an extra wall of security that would offer protection between devices and malicious exterior threats.

Even though it has been proved that using a finger print is a much more secure way that using a password, there are people who question the fact, whether hackers will find a way of breaking down their biometrics.

Myerson also added, that by the time of the release, there will also be available a version of Windows 10 oriented towards devices of small footprint Internet of Things, free of charge.

Windows 10, will make available, for other Windows versions, a diversified set of IoT devices, varying from powerful devices such ATMs and ultrasound machines, to resource uneasy devices such gateways, explained Myerson.

One other brand new feature, seems to allow users to download updates from other computers, apart from the servers of Microsoft. The latest creation of the future operating system, has been leaked on the internet the past weekend, and has revealed an option that lets you to choose if you want to download updates from the operating system of other PCs, and put them on your personal internal network, or transfer them from PCs on your network or on the web. In this manner, the updating process becomes a peer to peer capacity.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7

February 16, 2015 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

windows-10-vs-windows-7

Even in its early stages, we’ve come to the conclusion that Windows 10 is a far better deal for desktops than Windows 8. But how exactly does the new operating system stand against the very well-built Windows 7? Even though Microsoft is offering a free upgrade to the new OS if you are using Windows 7, should you take advantage of the deal and upgrade to it or not? In this guide we plan to show you who wins in the battle of Windows 10 vs Windows 7.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – Performance

One of the least discussed improvements brought by Windows 8 (and Windows 10) is its upgrade in terms of performance. The boot time in Windows 8 is significantly quicker than that of Windows 7. However, there are numerous other improvements such as hardware acceleration and even navigation seems a little faster in it. The power management has also been improved in Windows 8 which means that you will get more battery life out of your laptop.

Gaming performance is more evenly matched in Windows 8 and with Windows 10 we will also get access to DirectX 12. The new DirectX promises to unlock even more performance from all existing hardware.

It may not seem like a big deal, but essentially, the main reason we upgrade our operating systems is because we want better performance out of our machines. So because Windows 10 offers improvements in that area along all its other numerous features is more reason to be excited about it.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – Design

windows-10-vs-windows-7-design

Windows 8’s design was quite a departure from what we were used to, with its bold colors and flat windows replacing the round-edged, transparent windows and 3D icons in the Windows 7. Windows 10 will continue to change the design of the operating system. The bold and flat style now takes over the icons on the desktop and other core features of the new OS. However, we’ve seen that some of the old design is still present in Windows 10, like the old icons in Control Panel.

We’re not really convinced whether the new design will be better or not but it’s definitely more “modern”. It seems that the new trend of design somehow revolves around flat objects. Apple is doing it and so are different websites. However, we’re not very sure whether or not this is in fact more pleasing in terms of aesthetics.

That being said, there are some benefits from using this kind of design. One of the main advantages is that windows take less space because they aren’t as rounded anymore and pretty much lack borders. They’re also more customizable and some aspects are a lot clearer because of the absence of transparent backgrounds.

Microsoft still has time to change its mind (for the better, we hope), however, as Windows 10 is still in the preview stage.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – Search

windows-10-vs-windows-7-search

Windows 7 has a relatively powerful search feature that will quickly give results regarding documents and programs you search for. However, Windows 10 improves on this feature by adding a search for the apps in Windows Store and the web and a much more organized and improved page of results.

When you click on the search box in Windows 10 you will also receive information about the latest news headlines, weather reports and updates from your preferred sports team.

In addition to this, the new search function will also make use of Cortana, which is Microsoft’s digital personal assistant. This will add two main features into play. The first thing is that Cortana will monitor your calendar and email to give out relevant results, like when you have to leave to make it to your next appointment.

The other thing is that if you have equipped your computer with a microphone you will be able to give Cortana commands via voice. The digital personal assistant really does a great job understanding what you say and gives you appropriate search results. However, Cortana doesn’t give you the answer right in the search box, but opens a browser window to do so. But it is still a pretty cool thing to search for stuff without having to use your hands to type in what you want.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – File management

windows-10-vs-windows-7-file-management

While this may seem trivial at first, the fact is that the tools you use to find and manage the files in your computer are the most fundamental and often used in an operating system.

Windows 7 offered a generous selection of tools and we’ve come to be used to them by now. Still, it’s safe to say that they are not the most advanced ones and in a way or another are a slight step backwards from what we’ve seen in the past. A relevant example is the removal of the “Up” button in Windows Explorer.

This small feature pretty much sums up all what’s wrong with the file explorer in Windows 7. However, this isn’t the only problem that plagued the explorer. It was very badly designed, featuring a lot of wasted space not to mention that some of the main functions were hidden from the user’s view.

The “Up” button is back in Windows 10. And along with it, there are a series of other improvements in the file explorer. Some of them, however, already arrived in Windows 8, to be perfectly honest. The menu on top is now arranged in form of a ribbon, so the most used commands are within reach and, most important, very easy to find by novice users.

A new “Share” ribbon is now present which will let you move files between different applications such as Skype, Dropbox or Outlook with much ease. While the new file explorer is not perfect, it’s definitely a huge step in the right way.

Microsoft also improved the file copying interface along with these other improvements in the file explorer. Moving and copying tasks are now within a single window for better management. They also included a real time transfer speed monitor and you can also pause file operations, when until now you could only cancel them.

Another great addition is the Storage Spaces. This helps you group multiple hard drives to make a single logical drive. Even though this isn’t exactly revolutionary, the fact that it supports more levels of drive redundancy that will make sure all your data is backed up makes it particularly useful. This feature is entirely how swappable and supports drives in different sizes, unlike RAID systems.

All in all, Windows 10 adds a lot of nifty features in the file management section and takes very little away from it.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – DirectX 12 and gaming

windows-10-vs-windows-7-gaming

We said earlier that the gaming in Windows 10 hasn’t changed all that much, but now we’ll elaborate a little on the matter.

As a matter of fact, Windows 10 seems to be a tad slower than Windows 7, by about 0.5 percent, especially in some of the older games. Crisis 3, for example seems to run a little slower in Windows 10, however, there are some cases in which the results are reversed. It’s true that 0.5 percent doesn’t mean all that much so it’s not a reason to worry about.

Windows 7 was a very reliable and robust platform for gaming, even though it didn’t have many innovative features. However, it’s still a very good base on which numerous gaming tools have been built.

On the other hand, Windows 10 does add a bunch of new features. However, most of the new features won’t interest PC gamers, such as the option to access your account on Xbox Live, stream games from the Xbox straight to the PC and have a bunch of games that work cross-platform on Xbox and PCs. However, that isn’t to say that they’re not a welcomed addition.

The coolest new feature is probably the game capture one. You can record your gaming sessions and grab a 30 seconds snap shot that you can share with your friends. While this is not new technology, having it built right into the OS is a useful thing. Microsoft also claims that the new feature will work with every game ever made, so this mean that if you want to capture video footage from Monkey Island you can do so.

Windows 10 will also have exclusive access to the new DirectX 12, which claims to unlock performance on all existing hardware by allowing developers to have better access to the hardware’s features. However, the performance boosts are very likely to be small and dependent on certain circumstances. Nevertheless, this will probably be enough to make Windows 10 the better performing system regarding video games.

DirectX 12 will most likely offer numerous other new features but as of now Microsoft hasn’t said anything about what those features will be.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – The Notifications

windows-10-vs-windows-7-notifications

Windows always featured some sort of notification system in the form of the System Tray. In there you can find pop-up notifications from Dropbox, Spotify, Outlook and any other application that’s open in the background. However, there hasn’t been a proper place in which you could see all your notifications together along with their history.

In Windows 10 you can find a proper notification area. This is a very basic addition that brings app notifications and system messages together in one place, chronologically ordered. While it’s a very tiny addition, it’s extremely useful.

The area of notifications also has some system functions like a feature that lets you switch to the tablet mode or enter the screen settings.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – Workspace

windows-10-vs-windows-7-workspace

Keeping the workspace neat is very important to some users. While the users with laptops may be happy by making everything run full screen, if you use a desktop computer and have several monitors or just one very big one you will need good workspace management tools to make the best of the space you have.

Windows 7 features multi-monitor support but it’s rather limited in either allowing you to stretch the desktop across different screens or by offering a mirror mode. In Windows 7 you only had one task bar across multiple screens. It also featured a very primitive version of Snap. Snap is a feature that allows you to automatically resize windows when dragged to the sides of the screen. But that’s all that it offered.

In Windows 10, these features have been improved. You can have different backgrounds on different screens now and different slideshows. Pictures can also be set to go across all your screens. The taskbar can also be found on all the monitors you use or just on whichever monitor you’re active in. Snap now supports snapping to all four corners of the screen, instead of just the sides.

But the biggest feature is perhaps the support of a virtual desktop. Even though Windows 7 supported virtual desktops through third-party programs, Windows 10 has this feature built-in. While the implementation is rather clumsy at the moment, it’s still useful, especially for users that have laptops.

Windows 10 vs Windows 7 – The price

Even though we don’t know the exact price of a retail copy of Windows 10 at the moment, the huge news is that it will be free for people who update from Windows 7 or Windows 8 in the first year from its release.

With this in mind, if you have a copy of Windows 7, it would a silly thing not to update. Especially since we don’t know exactly how the upgrade will work, if you’ll lose your license of Windows 7 or not. But the chances are that you will still be able to downgrade to your old Windows version if you find that the new OS just isn’t right for you.

The verdict

Windows 10 offers a lot of useful new functions as well as improvements to the old ones, when compared to the old Windows 7. Even though these functions when taken separately are not reasons enough to upgrade, as a package it’s safe to say that it will be worth it.

In Windows 10 you will get a better file management system, a better windows management system, a better search system, more advanced gaming tools and many more. The only thing we’re not really keen on is the design, but this is hardly a reason to pass up the upgrade.

With Windows 10 being free as an upgrade, it would actually be a stupid thing not to at least try the new operating system. While it probably won’t be perfect, it’s still an upgrade worth getting later this year.

Windows 10 Details – A Breakdown of the Main Functions & Features

January 25, 2015 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

windows-10-details-1

Details about the new Windows 10 have been revealed by Microsoft in a recent event. Here are the most important things.

You may tell yourself “ok, but there is a 9 missing…” and Microsoft might have completely ignored Windows 9 but the replacement for Windows 8.1 is still a pretty exciting thing. The new operating system comes as a landmark for the company and is a new generation software which the company hopes to unify all the platforms it is available on – tablets, smartphones and PCs.

Terry Myerson from Microsoft told the media during the unveiling that the new Windows 10 will be their most thorough platform ever. He claims that Microsoft will offer a single store which means users will be able to update applications across all platforms using Windows 10.

Even though the company shared a lot of details about the new features in the operating system, a lot of elements still remain a mystery. Probably the biggest mystery about the new Windows 10 is its release date.

windows-10-details-2

Windows 10 Release Date

Windows 10 was revealed by Microsoft on September 30 and the tech giant said that they will make available for laptops and desktops a Technical Preview of the OS as an element in the Windows Insider Program. Unfortunately, details regarding the release date are still very few.  However, the consumer preview will be revealed on January 21 in an event named “The Next Chapter”.

Brandon LeBlanc from Microsoft wrote on the blog for Windows that the event will be held January 21 on Wednesday in the Microsoft Redmond campus where the company will reveal a lot more about the new OS.

The Microsoft Build 2015 conference is scheduled between April 29 and May 1. The conference is held in San Francisco at the Moscone Centre and it is Microsoft’s developer conference held each year. The conference is mostly about the upcoming software from the company and therefore, we expect to see a lot more regarding Windows 10.

The first edition of the Build conference took place back in 2011 in September and there was a lot of focus on the old Windows 8, which was also present in the 2012 edition. In 2013 there was much focus on Windows 8.1 and last year’s conference was mostly about how Cortana made her way onto the Windows Phone 8.1.

We expect that this year’s Build conference will be about Windows 10 and its release date in particular. Myerson confirmed that the software will see the light of day somewhere later in 2015. Analyzing previous release dates from the company it’s very difficult to know exactly what this means.

Windows XP, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 all launched in October and Windows 7 arrived in 2009 in July. Based on this, a release date in October for Windows 10 is the most plausible, even though anytime from 2015 Q2 onwards is a possibility.

Windows 10 Features

windows-10-details-4

Windows 10 is an important upgrade compared to other releases. Microsoft is looking to unify platforms with their newest release and this is not a very easy task. This also means that there will be a lot of new features, including universal applications, desktop-level Cortana personal assistant and the return of the Start menu in Windows (which we still have no idea why it was removed in the first place).

One of the more intriguing features is Microsoft’s new mysterious browser called “Spartan”. Reports claim that it’ll be stylus friendly and will feature a ‘dark’ theme across Windows.

Many have complained about Microsoft’s decision to abandon the very useful and well-known Start menu in Windows 8. This made the company add in Windows 8.1 a Start menu, but it still wasn’t the version we all loved and many people still wish for the full menu to return in the future.

Thankfully, Microsoft updated the Start menu, even though it’s in style with Windows 8. The Start menu is back on the bottom left side of the screen but features some Metro live tiles. The new menu is also a lot wider but thankfully the user can resize it. The company also focused more on the touch integration and it promised it will update the touch user interface, promising more features while keeping some of the old ones that worked well in the past.

Cortana

A lot of people were thrilled to find Cortana in the Technical Preview build of Windows 10. Cortana is an AI that is controlled with your voice and was initially built for Windows phones, but it looks like the personal assistant will also come to PCs.

The desktop version of Cortana was revealed this month in WinBeta. Videos from an unreleased build showed the personal assistant performing different tasks such as establishing alerts and using mapping features.  Cortana is a serious competition for Google Now and Siri and is pretty good at tasks like searching the web, scheduling events and making small talk. However, fans of the popular “Her” movie will likely be disappointed of her limitations.

Other functions

windows-10-details-8

Another new feature in Windows 10 is the Task View. This new function allows users to snap through various virtual desktops. Task View can be launched from the task bar and allows the user to rearrange launched apps. Touch users can also open Task View by swiping from the left side of the screen.

An important part of Task View is the function called Snap Assist. Snap Assist improves on the functionality in Windows 8 regarding side-snap. The new feature offers vertical snapping, cross-monitor snapping and 2 x 2 snapping. This is great for people that rely on multitasking.

The command prompt is also revamped with keyboard shortcuts. Users will no longer have to type very long command lines – the new command prompt will allow clipboard pasting.

Microsoft also introduced Continuum. And even though it sounds like Apple’s Continuity, it is not the same thing. As a matter of fact, Continuum analyzes the way you use your device and then adapts to your style. If you plug in a mouse and keyboard into the Surface Pro 3 you will be offered a click friendly user interface. Unplugging those peripherals will switch back to the more touch friendly Metro user interface.  This is a pretty nifty feature if you think about it.

There will also be universal apps available on Windows 10. Since basically the same Windows 10 will be on different Microsoft devices, the company opted to offer a single store across all platforms. This means that if you download Skype on the PC it should be the same for all other platforms, smartphone and mobiles alike.

windows-10-details-6

Microsoft will also discuss gaming at the event scheduled for January 21st. Phil Spencer also said in a tweet that it is about time for the company to talk about gaming and that he will reveal details in January.

What this actually means, we’re not completely certain but what we know is that the most recent Windows 10 build has an Xbox app that opens up the Xbox environment on the PC. This app shows the friends list, the Xbox store, activity feeds, achievements and a whole lot more goodies.

Windows 10 Preview

On October 1st the Insider Program was officially launched. Developers and other tinkerers were given the chance to mess with Windows 10 before its official launch and Microsoft has released several other build since that date.

Microsoft made the preview build for developers available on October 7 for users of Windows 7. At this time there is no preview for consumers available but it is planned to be revealed in January.

windows-10-details-9

Microsoft said on October 13 that nearly one million people used the Technical Preview for Windows 10. There were also 200,000 feedbacks and 68% of the people testing it were doing so with more than seven apps a day.

On April 15 Microsoft will shut down the Technical Preview and will not let anyone test the product again until it is going to be released. However, it’s not too late if you want to see what Windows 10 feels and looks like.

For the people who are anxious and can’t wait for the release, there are rumors that Microsoft will offer a Consumer Preview of the new OS in late January. It is claimed that the new preview will focus more on a side of Windows 10 intended for consumers.

Windows 10 Download

You can’t download the full operating system as of now and Microsoft only made a Technical Preview available to the public.

The Technical Preview, however, is not the final software and has frequent updates which add new features, respond to feedbacks and fix bugs.

Anyone can sign for the company’s Insider Program and download the Technical Preview but we recommend that only people who intend to give feedback to do so as it is not exactly intended for users who aren’t tech-savvy.

Windows 10 Price

Microsoft hasn’t revealed details about the price as of now and we aren’t sure how the company will approach it.

Some rumors claim that Microsoft will opt for a subscription-based kind of deal. There are also some rumors that say the company will offer the new OS for free. This isn’t entirely farfetched as the company’s main competition, Apple, have already started doing so since the OS X Mavericks release.

Windows 10 Details

Microsoft did confirm that users of the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Phone operating systems will receive a free upgrade to the new OS. Microsoft said that in the first year of the release, anyone using Windows 7 will get a free upgrade to Windows 10 and also anyone who users Windows 8.1 Phone will get the same treatment. Now you can buy Microsoft smartphones without having to worry about it too much.

Cortana was also confirmed for the desktop version of Windows 10. The personal assistant offered by Microsoft is going to be a main feature across all platforms. This means that Cortana will also be available on the desktop version of the new operating system.

Microsoft showed its new universal applications with the new versions of PowerPoint, Excel and Word for tablets and smartphones. The company also confirmed that all tablets and smartphones will come with these apps installed on them. There will also be a new Outlook universal app that will run across all Microsoft devices.

windows-10-details-7

Microsoft also showed a new web browser that is currently in development. The new “Spartan” web browser is a universal app that has a new rendering engine for speed improvement, a reading mode and supports annotations. You can also leave comments on the web and share them with people on OneDrive. It is now confirmed that the “Spartan” web browser will come with Windows 10.

The company talked about the new DirectX 12 which is supposed to increase performance by up to 50 percent on the same hardware because developers will have more control over the GPU and CPU. It’s trying to make PCs work a lot more like consoles. Microsoft also announced that Unity, the popular game engine is going to use DirectX 12.

Just like Sony did with its Remote Play function, Windows 10 will allow users to play Xbox One games remotely on their tablets or PCs. However, the feature will most likely be unavailable on mobile phones.

The enormous 84 inch 4K PC entitled Surface Hub will also use Windows 10. The PC is a giant Surface Pro and can be used as a big digital whiteboard                .

A new function Microsoft focuses on is the redesigned and improved Action Centre that comes up when you swipe from the right part of tablet’s screen.

A very common complaint about Windows 8 was that the Settings and Control Panel were two different things. These two sections are merged into one in Windows 10 and there will only be a Settings menu available which is likely to make life a whole lot easier.

So there you have it. These were all the details we could find about the new Windows 10 operating system from Microsoft.

Windows 10 Mobile Thoughts

January 22, 2015 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

windows-10-mobile-2

Microsoft looks like it’s renovating many of its products with the new Windows 10 operating system. Even though the focus is on the version for desktops and notebooks there is also another edition of the newest operating system, the Windows 10 Mobile.

Windows 10 Mobile won’t impose much competition for Mac OS X from Apple or come installed on the next Surface Pro, however. It’s designed completely for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. It’s a successor to Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT.

Windows 8 launched back in 2012, and while tablets had been already available on the market for quite some time, tablets released by Microsoft were mostly disappointing. Windows 7 on a tablet was truly a pain to use. Closing an application with a finger was simply horrifying and the whole interface, as a matter of fact, wasn’t finger friendly at all. Windows 8 fixed most of those problems and issues but Microsoft still made a vital error. It still kept the Desktop of its operating system so that certain devices could still use Microsoft Office. This mistake really stands out when looking at the approach towards tablets by Microsoft in the past.

Microsoft finally plans to make its Office suite more touch-friendly in a new version of the well-known productivity suite. The version is called Gemini and we most certainly will hear more about it during Microsoft’s Windows 10 Media Briefing. With a more finger friendly version of Microsoft Office, the company plans to remove the Desktop from Windows 10 devices regardless if they use an Intel processor or not.

If Microsoft is really going to do this, this means that users will be a lot less confused by Windows 10 when compared to the old Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 operating systems. Windows 10 Mobile is intended for tablets, which probably means that people won’t be able to install iTunes or other apps intended for Desktops on their tablets.

Even though there aren’t a lot of things known about the mobile version of Windows 10, we are aware of some things.

It’s claimed that Microsoft will release this February a preview of the Windows 10 Mobile operating system for smartphones. This means that all people who are in the Windows Phone Insider program will be able to download and test the new update on their smartphones. Microsoft did confirm last year that all smartphones running Windows 8.1 will receive an update to Windows 10 Mobile.

Other details are still unknown. It’s unclear whether people who use tablets with Intel processors will have to pay for the upgrade to Windows 10. Microsoft hasn’t discussed anything about prices and we don’t expect them to do such a thing until closer to the date of release.

The Surface RT and Surface 2 are pretty unique devices. Initially, Microsoft decided to use ARM processors and they developed the Surface and Surface 2. In return to losing the compatibility with Desktop applications such as iTunes, the Surface RT and Surface 2 had longer battery lives and notifications were available when those devices went into sleep mode.

Windows 10 is predicted to replace the Windows RT operating system on ARM devices. Because of this, Surface 2 tablets could work a lot differently when using Windows 10 Mobile. It’s unclear whether the Surface RT will receive an upgrade or not.

It wouldn’t be the first time Microsoft cuts support for older devices altogether. Smartphones running Windows 7.5 did not receive an update to Windows 8.1, even though these phones were still being sold on two year contracts by partners of Microsoft. It would be odd of Microsoft not to discuss how the Surface RT and Surface 2 customers will upgrade to Windows 10.

Windows 10 should be Microsoft’s big hit. It’s the company’s chance to lure in customers away from rival companies such as Apple and others that use Android. Microsoft will probably emphasize on how using Windows across different platforms will affect users. (As they have done in the past…)

Windows 10 is believed to arrive this fall on new smartphones. Most probably it will coincide with the time when smartphone manufacturers will upgrade their Windows Phone 8.1 devices to the new Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile operating system. Windows 10 for notebooks and desktops will probably arrive at around the same time as the mobile version.

windows-10-mobile-1

A unified Microsoft operating system across different platforms really sounds great, and is exactly what the company has to do in order of making its smartphones a success. However, they failed on numerous occasions to do exactly this. It’s not only that Microsoft continuously fails to do such a thing, but it keeps promising they will do it.

Every time Microsoft came out with a Desktop operating system they claimed that OS integrates great with Windows Phone or Windows Mobile devices. But this is never the case, it never was and it never works great. It’s enough to make you rethink how much of their promises are indeed true and doable.

Now, Microsoft claims they built its new operating system on a single “core”. It’s known as the “OneCore”. The company claims this allows Windows 10 to work across different platforms such as tablets, phones, large screen displays such as the Perceptive Pixel multi-touch screen devices, personal computers and, of course, Xbox One.

OneCore is a lot more than a common kernel, said Microsoft. Along the kernel, OneCore also has DLLs and other parts of the main operating system integrated. Windows 10 claims to be able to target the same environment across platforms, which means that apps will function on a variety of devices with different screen sizes. Apps will be in a single store, instead of separate stores for Xbox, Windows Phone and Windows for Desktops.

OneCore doesn’t mean, however, that there will only be a version of Windows 10 available. Even if the company refers to the upcoming OS as “Windows 10” regardless of what device they are talking about, the operating system will still come in different versions and it will be priced and optimized in accordance to the device type and its screen size.
