Windows 10 is an operating system released by Microsoft Corp. to improve previous versions of Windows. Many say that Windows 10 is a combination of two previous versions of Windows, namely Windows 7 and Windows 10. Windows 10 itself can actually be obtained for free.

If the user has got the Windows 8 version on a computer or laptop device, then Windows 10 can be obtained for free by updating from the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 version.

Even though it is said to be a combination of features from Windows 7 and Windows 8, in fact Windows 10 has so many features, some of which are completely new and of course very useful for users.

Windows 10 Featured Features

Virtual Desktops

Windows 10 presents a virtual desktop feature called Task View. Multitasking activities become easier to do because open software windows can be grouped into several virtual desktops. For example, you can group all the software that is actively used in one virtual desktop, while those that are rarely used but you don't want to close can be put aside to another virtual desktop.

Windows Sandbox

Windows Sandbox provides an isolated space for running software. Thus, whatever happens while the software is running will not affect the system. After the sandbox is closed, the software will be deleted by itself.

Even though you may already have an antivirus, Windows Sandbox is still important to prevent certain bad situations from occurring. Windows Sandbox is available for Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise.

Task Manager

Task Manager in Windows 10 allows you to check CPU and memory usage, find out what software is consuming too much memory, force stop software when problems arise, manage the startup list, set CPU priorities, review the list of services, activate Performance Monitor, keeping an eye on GPU temperature, and so on.

DirectX 12

DirectX 12 makes it easier for developers to include even more advanced features in games without putting too much strain on the GPU. Gamers can also enjoy better graphic quality.

DirectX 12 was developed for Windows 10. Microsoft has indeed brought DirectX 12 to Windows 7 but with more limited features than DirectX 12 in Windows 10.

PIN

PINs are claimed to be more secure than passwords. If another party manages to steal your Microsoft account password, the perpetrator will still not be able to log in to your computer which is protected with a PIN.

After around five years of circulation, there are still many debates discussing which is better between Windows 10 and Windows 7. However, despite all the debate, it cannot be denied that Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows 7.

There are no more updates and technical support for Windows 7. As a result, the operating system is more vulnerable to security threats compared to Windows 10. Apart from its superior features, the security factor is one of the strong reasons to switch to Windows 10 right now.
