Computer Store News: Recently, Microsoft released the first major update of Windows 10, claiming to be 30% faster than Windows 7, and brought many new features and changes in functionality. In addition to the obvious changes, this update also brings some hidden features, so let's take a look at the features you may not have discovered.

1. Find my device

You may have used the Find Device feature on your phone very early. But what if your laptop is lost?

Similar to the Find feature on your phone, you can locate or track your notebook by turning on the "Find My Device" option. How to use: First you need to register a Microsoft account, after logging in, go to Settings > Update & Security > Find my device and open it.

If you have a WP phone, the new version of Cortana will be very useful for you. The new version of Xiaona has added a missed call reminder function, which not only reminds you to call back, but also uses her to reply directly to the text message. Even if you don't miss the call, you can always send a text message by voice. Unfortunately, the SMS application of Windows 10 does not support speech recognition, so you can only use Xiaona to send messages. If your device is equipped with a stylus, Xiaona will remind you to create a memo based on time and place. If you are a Uber user, when you connect your account with Xiaona, she will also provide you with driving directions.

3, automatically change the time zone

Windows system can automatically synchronize time long time ago, but when you travel abroad, it can not automatically change the time zone.

This feature lets you cast photos, videos, audio, and more to compatible devices, much like Google Chromecast.

5, Microsoft Edge browser can synchronize passwords, favorites

When Windows 10 is released, Edge browser can not synchronize account passwords, favorites, and finally can be updated in this update. It is. If you have multiple Windows 10 devices, it's now easy to sync your password or favorites to all your devices.

6, joined the Skype application

Microsoft has added the basic version of Skype in this update, and integrated video call and SMS functions, but you are not easy to find it —&mdash ; can be found through Cortana or the app list. Users can make simple calls or send messages with Skype contacts, but since they are still in the basic version, the functions are not perfect, and they need to be greatly improved in the later stage.

7, better Snap split screen function

In Windows 10, all software has Snap split screen function. For example, if you place two applications side by side on the desktop, when you adjust one of the window proportions, the other window will automatically fill the remaining area. You can also place the mouse in the middle of the two application windows, and a slider will appear, which you can use to adjust the window scale.
