Table of Contents

Windows 10

Windows 10 is the latest operating system from Microsoft Corporation and is one that represents a major shift in the devices we use. In other words Windows is designed to adapt to the device its installed on, so youll get a point and click environment on desktop PCs, workstations, laptops, and all-in-one PCs called desktop mode, and a touch screen environment on tablets, hybrid laptop/tablet, and other small screen devices called tablet mode.

So whats an Operating System? An Operating System is a computer program that manages the computers hardware resources such as memory, processor and disk drives.

The Operating System also provides a platform for you to run apps such as word processors, web browsers, games, open files, and so on. These are represented as graphical icons on the screen. Apps open up in a window allowing you to interact with them using either a mouse, keyboard or touch-screen. Commands and options are organised into menus for you to select. This is called a graphic user interface.

Windows Editions

There are two editions of Windows 10 available to consumers: Home and Pro.

Windows 10 Home is designed for use on PCs, laptops and tablets. This edition is intended for the every day home user. If you bought a laptop or tablet device from a computer store, then this is the version youre most likely to have.

Windows 10 Pro is the same as the home edition, except it has additional features that are oriented towards business environments and power users.

Microsoft subsequently released other editions of Windows 10 aimed at different markets.

Windows 10 Enterprise is aimed at medium to large scale organisations that have hundreds or even thousands of computers in their offices and networks. This edition is very similar to Windows 10 Pro except it has a couple of extra features.

Windows 10 Education is very much like Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise but is distributed to educational establishments such as schools, colleges, and universities.

Windows 10 S is a feature-limited edition of Windows 10 designed primarily for low-end devices and the education market. Windows 10 S only allows the installation of software from the Windows Store. You can only use Microsoft Edge as the web browser and Bing as the search engine.

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is designed for high-end hardware for intensive computing tasks and supports Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors, up to 4 CPUs, 6TB RAM, the ReFS file system.

The May 2019 Update

Windows 10 - May 2019 Update 1903, also known as 19H1, has had a few improvements over the previous update.

Whats New?

Windows now has a new Light Mode. If you choose the light mode from the settings app, the whole system will be light including the taskbar and start menu.

The start menu also has a slightly new layout, and has been simplified reducing clutter and the number of pre-installed tiles.

Cortana & Windows Search have now been separated. Youll find a separate icon on the taskbar for each feature.
