Part of the reason Microsoft decided to name the release on July 29, 2015, with the name Windows 10 (and skip Windows 9) was that the operating system was designed to be a new direction for Microsoft. One of the main goals of Windows is to unify the experience of using Windows on several devices, such as desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.
While Windows 10 has many new features, including the return of the Start Menu which was removed in Windows 8. The new Start Menu is further enhanced with a beautiful appearance and provides quick access to settings, folders, and other programs. The bottom of the Windows 10 Start Menu has a search bar function that allows you to search various files and information on your PC / Laptop and the web online.
Other major changes to Windows10 such as the introduction of the "Edge" web browser, which was designed to replace Internet Explorer (IE). But the Internet Explorer Browser (IE) is still in it. "Edge" is the default browser on Windows10. Other new features include Continuum, which automatically optimizes the user interface depending on whether you are using an external keyboard or touchscreen, and Windows Store which is similar to the Notification bar on OS X. Windows10 also supports multiple desktops on a single monitor and provides Snap Assist, a feature that helps arrange window on the screen.
