   Windows 10: Nine Things You Need To Know
      

As You know that Microsoft has canceled the Windows 9 and we just came to know that Windows 10 is releasing soon. So some things you need to know about windows 10 are as follows :


Windows 8 has had a bit of a tumultuous run, Something Microsoft is hoping to turn around with Windows 10. We got a brief glimpse at a Microsoft event, And while it did prove to be a tantalizing look at whats in store, there are still plenty of questions floating around, and a lot more to figure out before the final product is sitting on our hard drives.

If you've got questions, We've got some answers on the latest step for Windows.

1. When can i upgrade? And how much will it cost?

Microsoft expects to release the OS sometime in 2015, after the company's Build developer conference in April. If you're feeling adventurous, you can sign up for the Windows Insider Program on October 1 to get your hands on the early (and likely and buggy ) preview build. The cost for the retail version has yet to be determined.

2. Windows 10? What happened to Windows 9 ?

Windows 7 ate 9 . (LOL kidding). Microsoft wants us to think of the latest version of fundamental change to How Windows work, and the company is skipping a version number to show it.
   

3. I've Got a desktop, and a tablet. How will that work?

Windows 10 isn't just about PC's. The operating system will run on every thing from desktop all the way down to smartphones, and user interface will adjust accordingly.

4. What about apps?

Apps will be coming along for the ride too, though Microsoft hasn't explained how that's going to work. We do Know that you'll be able to buy one app from the Windows Store and expect it to run on all your devices. Developers will presumably need to make universal apps that will adjust their look and feel, depending on your devices size and capabilities.

5. Those full-screen " MODERN" apps were a pain. Are they still around ?

Those touch friendly, full screen apps that debugged with Windows 8 were alternately known as the " METRO" or " MODERN" design. For windows 10 , Full screen apps will be optional. LEts say you;re using a convertible 2 in 1 device, Like the surface pro 3 , For example. When the keyboard is docked, You'll see the standard desktop of Windows 10 "new". old school start menu. Once you take the device off of the keyboard base, The OS will allow you to switch to the finger friendly full screen mode Windows 8 users are likely familiar with.

6. I actually liked those modern apps, and bought a few. Are they still around ?

It's too soon to say how windows 8 developers will react to the changes, But Microsoft did show some of its own full screen Modern apps operating in a windowed mode.

  

7. And the start menu

If you hated Windows 8's Full screen Start screen , You're in the Luck : the new start menu harkens back to the good old days setting on the left side of the screen and presenting the familiar pop up column of shortcuts.

8. Never mind the apps.... I need to get things doe. Any improvements on that front ?

Windows 10 beefs up snap,  the function that lets your quickly arrange apps side by side, with a new quadrant layout lets you split your display up among up to four apps. There's also support for multi-desktop (finally), So you can keep all your work apps in one place and quickly side back to the desktop.
     

9. Windows 10 run on my machine ?

Its too early to say , Windows 8.1 did introduce 64 bit computing requirements that ruled out some ancient processors, but it otherwise played well with pc's that weren't too old.
