hey guys I'm bill from gcflearnfree.org
and today I want to talk about Windows
10 Windows 10 is the most recent version
of the Microsoft Windows operating
system for PCs and it was released in
mid 2015 now unlike previous versions of
Windows you may actually be able to
upgrade to Windows 10 for free as long
as you're using a Windows 7 or Windows 8
machine and upgrade before mid-2016
Windows 10 also comes with a lot of
features and improvements over previous
versions let's take a look okay so this
is the desktop of Windows 10 and it
should look pretty familiar if you've
ever used a version of windows before
here in the lower left corner they've
reintroduced the Start button and if you
click that you'll get a Start menu just
like on older versions of Windows from
there you can access any program on your
computer another new feature of Windows
10 is Cortana a virtual assistant that
can help you create reminders bind stuff
on your computer and a whole lot more
Cortana can also use your computer's
microphone to hear and answer basic
questions for example hey Cortana what's
the weather like today the forecast
shows mostly cloudy skies with a high of
86 and a low of 74 Windows 10 also
includes a lot of features that make it
even easier to work with multiple
windows on the desktop for example the
new task view future lets you quickly
see all the windows you have open and
choose the one you want you can also
create virtual desktops which allows you
to keep different windows on different
desktops and stay even more organized
Microsoft edge is another big feature in
Windows 10 it's meant to replace
Internet Explorer is your default web
browser and in terms of speed and
security it offers a lot of improvements
over IE but you'll still be able to use
Internet Explorer if you need to I hope
you can also see that Windows 10 is not
like Windows 8 it's very similar to
previous versions of Windows and in
general we'd recommend that you upgrade
to Windows 10 if you can it's faster
than Windows 7 or Windows 8 it's more
secure and it's more likely to be
supported for much longer than as other
versions anyway that's all we've got but
