Windows 10 Update Brings These Features & Enhancements You Might Want To Consider


Windows 10 update, also known as the November Update, rolled out on Thursday, and despite the good previews, there are some people who are still hesitant to upgrade their PC's operating system. Some of the tech enthusiasts think that this reaction is understandable.

Updating can sometimes be annoying because you will have to figure out where they have moved stuffs, and it's normal for you to have doubts, whether you will go through the process or not.

However, Microsoft brought these features and enhancements to its Windows 10 update, which you might want to consider.

The Windows 10 update didn't do many changes on how it looked because most of the improvements were beneath the surface, according to CNN. The company claimed that it would boot PCs 30 percent faster compared with the ones that have Windows 7.

The "E" no longer stands for Internet Explorer. Instead, it stands for Edge. The new browser reportedly has similar features to Google Chrome, which allows users to sync their favorites across all devices with Windows 10.

The Windows 10 update will also give the users a better Cortana, Microsoft's own version of Apple's Siri. Recognizing phone numbers, email and physical addresses for reminders, keeping track of event and movie bookings the new things that this personal software assistance can do, Extreme Tech learned.

In addition, Cortana brought about by Windows 10 update can book Uber and set your PC to sleep if you're not in the office. It can also recognize and allow users to set reminders via handwriting, which will come in handy for Surface owners.

The Start Menu 500-item limit structure has been reportedly increased to 2,048. The new update will also bring a feature which will alert the users if there are any problems with USB-connected devices, as per PC World.

This version of Windows 10 update will allow owners to upgrade from their existing Windows 7 or 8 without having to double-install the OS first. Those users who have not upgraded yet can reportedly use their pre-existing license for Windows 7 and 8.1.

Microsoft would like to do away with the term "service pack." That being said, the company intends for Windows 10 to be constantly upgraded and to continue evolving over time as users give feedback.

Tech consultancy Gartner is reportedly expecting 50 percent of business to deploy Window 10 by 2017. The goal of Microsoft is to run Windows 10 on more than 1 billion devices by 2018.
