10 Windows came out after version 8.1. We are talking about the operating system family NT, developed by Microsoft. It is curious that the tenth number was assigned to the platform after the eighth, while the ninth edition was deliberately skipped by the developers for greater marketing success.
Briefly about the changes
The most noticeable external changes in the version of "Windows 10" include the return of the Start menu in its usual form. In addition, the ability to work with virtual desktops and launch programs from Windows 8 in the windowed mode has been added. Windows 10 came out in October 2014. It was then that the first preliminary edition appeared - Build 9841. In the summer of 2015, the official release of Windows 10 is expected in more than one hundred languages in 190 countries. During the first year from the moment the system is released, it will be possible to upgrade to it for free from other versions of the platform.Features
10 Windows has become a single operating system for a huge number of devices: Xbox One, smartphones, tablets and computers. It is planned to create a single development platform and one store of universal applications that will be compatible with all types of supported equipment. As for the localization of Windows 10, the Russian version also allows you to create many desktops and switch between them. A special voice assistant called Cortana will appear here, which works on tablets and computers. However, it should be noted that Windows 10 in Russian does not currently support all of its functions. However, this omission is likely to be corrected by the day of the official submission.
