NEW YORK (AP) – I took a week to get comfortable with the new Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, something that never happened with its predecessor, Windows 8, even after three years
. With Thursday’s update, Windows no longer feels jarring, as if you were using two computers at the same time
best:. This update is free
Windows 8 was the way that Microsoft modernized. personal computers most popular smartphones and tablets as they turned. But it seemed he wanted to put a square dowel into a round hole. He led people to the tablet-style touch commands, even on computers that have keyboards and mouse controls. The applications that were not designed for touch, as is fanned Microsoft- Office of the basement, known as desktop mode. The desktop mode and tablet / touch mode were like rival brothers, pulling each one by hand.
With Windows 10, all along. (By the way, Microsoft Windows 9 jumped, as if to distance the Windows 8 and criticism)
Although no reason not to upgrade, Windows 10 beats Windows 8 in many ways.

AS WINDOWS OPEN WINDOWS APPS
apps for Windows 8 were designed to fill the screen. Although you could break it, could only accommodate applications side by side, not the top down.
With Mac computers and previous versions of Windows, you can give the size you want your windows. Windows 8 limited to applications that had not been adapted for touch, Windows 10 resizing recovered for all applications. It sounds simple aesthetic, but it makes a big difference according to your workflow.

Only browser
Edge took the place of Internet Explorer as the default browser.
No longer you have to separate desktop browsers or tablet modes. With Windows 8, when you opened a website on the desktop mode, he did not appear in the tablet mode. With Windows 10, is a single browser, so you resume where you left off if you exchange modes.
Some websites, including those of Google, do not run well on Edge as in other browsers, but the problem may be limited to . the Microsoft Surface tablets

borrowing from
phones while Windows 8 tried too hard adopt characteristics of mobile devices, Windows 10 takes two tools that make sense.
– Control Center provides quick access to settings such as Wi-Fi, brightness and “quiet hours”, a way to suspend notifications and sounds.
– Cortana, an assistant voice similar to Google Now and Siri Apple arrives at Windows computers. Since you may feel strange talking to your computer, you have the option to enter keyboard commands like “Remember me buy milk”.
Cortana is integrated into the Edge.

LAPTOPS IN MOVEMENT
While Microsoft changes its shift to online services, has been bringing users to store files in its storage service online onedrive, which keeps copies of all your files on your computer so that you have them if you are not connected. Any changes you make will be synchronized with the service when you re-connect.

Use a “Home” of Windows, Microsoft will automatically activate future version updates once you get Windows 10. Although generally positive, automatic updates might surprise you with incompatible applications and accessories.

The free version of Windows 10 will be available a year, so there is no rush.
