Microsoft has released its first big update to Windows 10
since its launch in July.
Executive Vice President of the Windows and Devices Group,
Terry Myerson, announced on the official Windows 10 blog last week that
“Microsoft’s first major update to Windows 10 is now available for PCs and
tablets.”
He said that the update will mean improvements in areas to
include thousands of partners when updating their applications and device
drivers for optimum Windows 10 compatibility. Windows 10 will also soon be
rolled out to selected mobile phones and Xbox One in the near future.
Microsoft Cortana
The new Windows assistant now supports a stylus for
handwriting – users will be able to use the Cortana notebook to take down notes
and it will also recognise email addresses, addresses and phone numbers.
Microsoft Edge
The new Windows 10 browser that is available offers the user
a tab preview as well as enhanced security and performance. It is now possible
to hover over open tabs and preview the content. Microsoft Edge will also synchronise
your Reading lists and Favourites across your PC, tablet, Laptop and any other
devices that are running Windows 10.
Microsoft will enable companies and enterprises to migrate
to Windows 10 for a unified experience across mobile, tablet, PC and Cloud.
Increased Microsoft Performance
The boot time in Windows 10 is a third faster than Windows 7
when running on the same system.
Microsoft Credential Guard
Windows 10 offers additional security with its Credential
Guard, safeguarding credentials within a virtual hardware-based environment.
Device Guard uses Trusted Boot to stop hackers and intruders
from installing malware; Windows Defender continues to offer a free of charge
anti-malware service.
