forget about your fancy graphics cards and elaborate water cooled computers
0:05
nothing screams excitement like a new operating system release right anybody
0:11
no well elated as you may or may not be
0:14
Windows 10 is already available for user testing and feedback and it brings some
0:19
big changes to the table so big in fact that Windows 9 was skipped entirely for
0:24
reasons unknown now for those of you not using tablets the biggest addition will
0:28
be the appearance of something very old indeed the start menu Windows 10 gives a
0:33
much appreciated nod to keyboard and mouse and trackpad users for that matter
0:38
by keeping the fullcreen modern UI as an option but otherwise making live tiles
0:44
and also optional part of what otherwise
0:47
looks like a much more traditional start menu speaking of tiles it's also much
0:52
easier to tile different Windows on your desktop with Windows 10 when the Aros
0:56
snap feature was introduced with Windows 7 it allowed users to quickly see two
1:00
things side by side Windows 10 improves
1:03
on this concept by giving you the option to tile Windows in quadrants making
1:08
keeping your screen organized a snap oh come on I've done worse than
1:14
that anyway you'll also be able to manage and switch between apps more
1:18
easily Metro or modern UI style apps
1:21
will allow you to change settings and execute commands from the title bar
1:24
instead of relying only on the charms menu and Windows 10 also introduces a
1:29
new task View view that will clearly show everything you're working on side
1:33
by side kind of like mission control on Apple OS 10 task view will even allow
1:37
you to have multiple desktops open at once so you can switch between a number
1:41
of different workspaces quickly a huge productivity booster for Notebook users
1:46
or anyone else who is limited to a single display but what else is going on
1:50
besides UI enhancements don't worry Windows 10 has got some stuff going on
1:55
under the hood as well most notably Cortana and I'm not talking about that
1:59
weird holographic chick from Halo although I guess kind of I am since
2:04
she's like named after her and stuff but but no she's different Cortana was
2:07
originally meant to be a personal assistant that was Microsoft's answer to
2:10
Siri she first debuted on Windows phone and will now be making her way to the
2:15
desktop to help you find things quickly organize your life voice control your PC
2:20
and she even promises to preemptively give you info before you even search for
2:24
it by digging around in your personal details not that she can know anything
2:28
you tell her not to know very stuff you can manually turn stuff off like don't
2:32
know about my fetishes also Microsoft is Shifting its
2:37
focus away from Internet Explorer and will'll be including an entirely
2:41
separate browser in addition to Internet Explorer with Windows 10 it's code named
2:45
Spartan and features a new design philosophy better compatibility with
2:49
modern websites a new rendering engine that they're saying is like blazing fast
2:54
and support for browser extensions finally but wait there's more Windows 10
2:58
will ship with direct x 12 which is designed to allow games to communicate
3:02
more directly with your graphics Hardware resulting in theoretically
3:06
better performance and more realistic visuals and to Delight your other senses
3:10
Windows users are finally getting native support for Flack lossless audio as well
3:15
as hvvc a new video Codec that can support 8K video the good news with all
3:21
of this stuff is that you won't need any additional Hardware to run Windows 10 if
3:25
your PC already supports Windows 7 or 8 but lonus how much is all of this going
3:29
to cost me well although Microsoft has been known to charge relatively high
3:35
prices here's my feeling with the gold and at Microsoft please give me Windows
3:40
um that looks to be a thing of the past an upgrade to Windows 10 is going to
3:44
cost you nothing if you have Windows 7 or 8.1 you can upgrade to 10 for one
3:50
year after its released for the low price of free though you'll still need
3:54
to buy a full version if you're building a new rig but if you're upgrading your
3:58
existing PC the extremely low cost interface enhancement DirectX X12 and
4:02
all that great stuff makes Windows 10 about as interesting as an operating
4:07
system release can be speaking of interesting what's more interesting than
