Some of the Windows 10 updates we found the most notable.
Microsoft recently dropped a sneak peek of Windows 10 updates, release date July 29th. (Yes, they went from Windows 8 to Windows 10 and no, you didn’t miss Windows 9.) After doing some looking around the trueITpros team came up with some of the likely (there are bound to changes by the release date) updates we are looking forward too. Check out the complete list of features and watch the video Microsoft posted.
First up: the Start Menu. It will include some popular features from Windows 8, like customizable tiles. Microsoft is shooting for personalization in this update. This is something we are really looking forward to, because the Start Menu is just that: where
everything starts. The universal search option is also back, with web results included.
Next on the list of Windows 10 updates we want to mention is the multitasking aspect and multiple desktops. The “Task View”, a button in the task bar, will let you see all your open windows at once. You will be able to create multiple desktops as well. Like the Start Menu upgrade, this lends itself to customization. It also helps with organization and efficiency, since you can see everything you are doing without clicking between multiple windows.
It seems simple, but one of the Windows 10 updates that seems to be highly anticipated is the ability to pin the Recycle Bin to the task bar. With Windows 10 all it takes is a right click and a few moves of the mouse to pin it to the start menu. From there you can move it to the task bar. Not a total fix to this small but bothersome issue, but certainly an improvement we can get behind.
Last but not least on our list Windows 10 updates we like is the upgrade to the notifications. A lot of people didn’t like that notifications were mostly just small bubbles that popped up in the bottom right corner. With Windows 10, some of the notifications may be more noticeable. We aren’t sure if the update will have a full notifications center, but it’s definitely on our wish list.
trueITpros will be doing a 2015 Tech Update for some of our clients.
