Windows 10 ISO for windows

Windows 10 introduced a variety of new features, improvements, and changes compared to its predecessor, Windows 8.1. Here’s a breakdown of the key new features:

1. Start Menu Revamp:

• Hybrid Start Menu: Windows 10 brought back the familiar Start Menu (from Windows 7) while incorporating elements from Windows 8’s "live tiles." It blends the old desktop Start menu with dynamic tiles that can display real-time updates (e.g., news, weather).

• Customizable: Users can resize, pin apps, and customize the layout.

2. Cortana:

• Digital Assistant: Cortana was integrated as a personal digital assistant for voice commands, reminders, and searches. It helps users with tasks like setting reminders, sending emails, or searching the web.

• Improved Search: Cortana's search functionality integrated with the system search bar.

3. Microsoft Edge:

• New Browser: Edge was introduced as the default browser, replacing Internet Explorer. It offers better performance, security, and features such as the Reading Mode, Cortana integration, and a streamlined interface.

• Performance Boost: Aimed to be faster and more secure than its predecessors.

4. Task View & Virtual Desktops:

• Task View: The Task View button allows users to see all open apps and easily switch between them.

• Virtual Desktops: Users can create multiple desktops for better organization and multitasking.

5. Windows Snap:

• Improved Multitasking: With the "Snap" feature, users can snap multiple windows side by side. New in Windows 10, this functionality allows for more flexible arrangements with a grid layout.

6. Action Center:

• Notifications: The Action Center combines notifications, quick settings, and alerts in one place, similar to how mobile devices handle notifications.

• Quick Access: Access settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc., with just a few clicks.

7. Continuum Mode (Tablet Mode):

• Better Tablet Support: Windows 10 automatically adjusts its interface depending on whether you’re using a laptop, tablet, or hybrid device. For 2-in-1 laptops (like Surface), Continuum mode optimizes the UI for touch interactions.

8. Windows Ink:

• Pen Support: For touch devices and pen-enabled tablets, Windows 10 includes a suite of features for digital inking, such as sticky notes, sketching in Microsoft Office, and more.

9. Universal Windows Platform (UWP):

• Cross-Platform Apps: UWP allows developers to create apps that run across all Windows devices, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, and Xbox consoles. Apps from the Microsoft Store are designed to work across various devices.

10. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL):

• Linux Integration: WSL allows users to run a Linux environment directly on Windows, enabling developers to use Linux tools natively within Windows without needing a virtual machine.

11. DirectX 12:

• Enhanced Gaming: Windows 10 includes DirectX 12, offering improved performance and lower-level access to hardware, which is especially beneficial for gamers and developers.

12. Security Enhancements:

• Windows Hello: A biometric sign-in option that allows users to log in with their face or fingerprint.

• Windows Defender Antivirus: Improved security and antivirus features, providing real-time protection against malware and other threats.

• BitLocker: Full disk encryption now available by default for protecting your files from unauthorized access.

13. Updates & Patches:

• Windows as a Service (WaaS): Windows 10 shifted away from major "versions" like Windows 8 or 7. Instead, updates are delivered through regular "feature updates," which are rolled out twice a year, keeping the system up to date with the latest security patches and feature improvements.

14. Settings Overhaul:

• Simplified Settings: Windows 10 features a revamped Settings app that consolidates control over system settings (previously scattered across the Control Panel).

• Unified UI: The modernized settings interface makes it easier to customize and manage system preferences.

15. Game Mode & Game Bar:

• Game Mode: Windows 10 introduces Game Mode to prioritize resources for gaming performance, ensuring smoother gameplay.

• Game Bar: A new overlay that allows users to record gameplay, take screenshots, and access other game-related features without leaving the game.
