Windows 10 (codenamed Threshold) is an upcoming computeroperating system being developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems. First presented at a glance in April 2014 at the end of the first keynote at Build 2014, it is scheduled for general availability on July 29, 2015.[1] It is currently in public beta testingthrough the Windows Insider program. During its first year of availability, an upgrade to Windows 10 is being offered at no charge to all consumer users of genuine Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows 8.1 Update.
The goal of Windows 10 is to unify the operating systems of Microsoft'sPCWindows PhoneWindows Embedded and Xbox One product families, as well as new product categories such as the Surface Hub andHoloLens, around a common internal core. These products will share what Microsoft calls a common, "universal" application architecture andWindows Store ecosystem that expands upon the Windows Runtimeplatform introduced by Windows 8. Windows 10 provides further integration with Microsoft services and platforms, such as the addition ofCortana (an intelligent personal assistant), a notification system that can be synchronized between devices, and new Xbox Live features. A new default web browserMicrosoft Edge, will also make its debut in Windows 10, though Internet Explorer will still be available in a reduced capacity for compatibility reasons. Microsoft has not clarified the reasoning for naming the new operating system Windows 10 instead of Windows 9.[2]
Windows 10's user interface is an evolution of that of Windows 8, with a focus on responsiveness to the type of device and the available input methods. To improve the experience for keyboard and mouse users, Windows 10 adds a revision of the desktop start menu, similar to that of Windows 7, and a virtual desktop system, and allows Windows Store apps to run within windows on the desktop as well as in full-screen mode. The operating system will introduce new technologies and system components, including DirectX and new frameworks for biometric authentication. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Microsoft has also planned to treat Windows 10 as a "service" that will receive non-critical updates over its lifespan, in combination with periodic long-term support milestones for enterprise environment
