It’s a great start, but the lack of support for browser add-ons means you’ll probably download Chrome or Firefox within the first few hours of upgrading to Windows 10.įinally, the biggest new addition to Windows 10 is Cortana. Like the live tiles in the Start Menu, the notifications in the Action Centre are synced across your Windows 10 devices, so you can reply to a text message on your smartphone or action a notification on your tablet and the changes will be reflected across your Windows 10 devices. This brings together a number of quick-access settings buttons, as well as notifications from all of your native apps.


Other new additions include the Action Centre, which replaces the Charms bar and slides in from the right hand-side of the desktop. This is a feature that’ll be familiar to OS X users, and can dramatically improve your productivity on a device with a smaller display, like a laptop or two-in-one hybrid. It’s like having multiple displays attached linked together in your desktop set-up.
IALERTU WINDOWS UPGRADE
One of the features likely to make you stump up the cash to upgrade is Windows 10’s ability to handle multiple desktops, which can be dragged around and used to distribute your open apps. That’s only a minor quibble if you can upgrade for free, but is likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth if you’ve had to pay £99.99 for the new OS. These issues will likely be ironed out in the coming weeks and months, but it does leave the operating system feeling slightly unfinished and unpolished.
