Microsoft is starting to show new features for the upcoming operating system Windows 10 . The OS is designed to run on multiple devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops.

This will allow to automatically adjust one of the applications that you are currently viewing in a small window in full screen, to have all of the features associated with the gestures, such as sliding down from the top of the screen to close applications, or sliding to the side to switch between running applications.
In other words, touch gestures are not limited to Windows applications. You can use them to navigate the traditional Win32 applications.
There is also a taskbar and Start menu. By evoking the latter, remember that when you use a device in tablet mode, it is automatically in full screen, similar to the Windows 8.1 home screen. When in desktop mode, it will then "become" a simple Start menu in the style of Windows 7, though with the addition of tiles lives . However, if you want to use in desktop mode home screen, there will be an option to switch to full screen.
Microsoft has also merged some of the features that were in separate areas within Windows 8.1. There are, for example, a new control panel, which includes access to the settings that were previously available in the Settings screen and Windows Setup. Windows 10 also includes a new share center and notifications that replaces the "Charms bar" of Windows 8 when you slide on the right side of the screen.
Ah, Microsoft integrated digital voice assistant Cortana in Windows 10. Until now, Cortana was only available on Windows Phone devices, making it a highly anticipated and appreciated addition to the version of Office. In addition to letting you ask very technical, Cortana lets you dictate messages, and more. Microsoft states that Cortana for PCs will be deployed on PCs with Windows 10 in the coming months.
There will also be a series of general purpose Windows applications that run on smartphones and computers, including a new music application that will be ability to synchronize your music library across all devices.
The new application will work with music storage service in the cloud OneDrive. With it, you'll be able to download your music library, and access them on your smartphone or PC (like what Google allows you to do with Google Play Music).
