What is the difference between the official version of Windows 10 and the preview version? Advantages and Disadvantages

Finally, Windows 10 and Windows 7 and Windows 8 users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free from July 29th. So before you upgrade, let's take a look at how the first impression of Windows 10 after the upgrade is.

There are currently four versions, namely Home, Professional, Enterprise and Mobile. The difference between them needs to be learned later. We are experiencing the home version today, which may be a version that many people care more about.

What is the difference?

After the upgrade is complete, you will notice that it does not have the symptoms of Windows 8 personality splitting, and the "Start" menu finally "returns". In addition, you can manage applications on the desktop, and the snap-in functions have changed based on the larger screen. Tiles can also be moved and changed at will, so that the “Start” menu can be customized to your liking. Of course, if you think that Windows 8 is excellent, Windows 10 will also allow you to convert back, and the degree of freedom is very high.

“Start”The menu "Search" is placed on the taskbar, easy to call at any time, and integrated with Cortana, making search easier. It should be noted that the automatic update function is mandatory in the home version, although it can make the system more perfect and safe, but some "error" updates will also cause the system to collapse, such as some with rogue The nature of the Nvidia driver caused the user system to crash in the early stage. Another big difference is that the media center is gone, replaced by the Microsoft store, and there may be many users who feel sorry and unaccustomed.

Fresh Features

The biggest fresh feature is Cortana. If you have used or are using a WP smartphone, you should be familiar with it. If you have never been exposed, it will take some time to get used to it. When we first click on the search box, we will prompt to activate Cortana. During the activation process, there are some very user-friendly settings, including favorite news, music and so on. It looks like a gimmick, but in the process of continuous experience we find that Cortana is really a good helper.

There is also OneNote also appearing in Windows 10, this feature is not familiar to many people, but it is really good. It is no longer a single notebook, but integrates maps, notepads, pictures, etc. to form a brand new application, very easy to use, you can try it later.

In addition, Windows 10 has opened up the connection between multiple platforms. The reminder of the device on the computer can be executed on the phone or tablet. I have to say that this is a feature we most expect to see. If Microsoft handles it properly in the future, it will be one of the most attractive reasons to buy the Windows 10 platform series.

Advantages: Virtual desktop, easy access to search box, tile improvements

Disadvantages: Home version forced update, no media center

In general, Windows10 abandoned Windows 8 encountered some problems, made up for some defects, making the whole system more natural, rather than deliberately adding features, it is very worthwhile to upgrade. Let's summarize it!
