START MENU
Whereas Windows 8 uses the Start Screen to launch applications,
Windows 10 has reintroduced a more traditional START MENU. It’s
also been expanded to make it easier to find important apps.
Microsoft edge browserMicrosoft Edge Browser
Microsoft Edge is an all-new browser designed to make a clean
break from the Internet Explorer. Build around the latest web
standards and powered by a new rendering engine under the hood.
Microsoft Edge is also designed for a new generation of Windows
tablets and touch devices in mind. Offering built-in inking
capabilities that lets users write directly on webpages – and share
with others.

Cortana comes to PC
Cortana is now available on Windows 10.
Similar to Siri and Google Now, you can talk
to this “virtual assistant” with your
computer’s microphone. Cortana can
answer questions, (“What’s the weather like
today?” perform simple tasks (“remind
me to take out the trash”) and much more.
RUN MODERN APPS ON DESKTOP
Run Modern Apps on the Desktop:
Modern apps were introduced in Windows 8. Modern apps now will
show up as a normal windowed application when in desktop mode.
You can run multiple Modern apps in this mode, and resize or drag
them around the desktop as you desire. On the Start Menu, Modern
apps continue to behave the same way as they did in Windows 8.

FREE UPGRADE WHEN:
If your computer used Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and meets the System

This upgrade offer will expire after one year, ending sometime in August of 2016. After that time, will be available for purchase.
Windows 10 is not available as a free upgrade for users with Windows RT, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. This is mostly because any computer
