Windows 10 is here and is free for grabs! If you are one of the few skeptics about upgrading from Windows 7 /8/8.1, then here are a few things that might change your mind.
Optimization
A lot of people consider Windows 7 as the go-to operating system of this generation and who can blame them? It’s compatible almost with any PC specs and has little-to-no compatibility issues with hardware and software. Now, imagine that but with a more accessible
That’s not to say that Windows 10 will make your single core Pentium 4 perform like an i5 4670k. It just means that you’ll get a better potential out of your existing hardware.
Who does not want that?
best when it comes to video games in terms of both making and playing them. Thanks to DirectX.
Cortana: The Windows 10 Poster Girl
Who doesn’t like Cortana? We’re pretty sure that fans and players of the Halo series may recognize the friendly, helpful, and somewhat entertaining AI with a sexy female voice that’s been helping them in their adventures on different planets battling aliens and monsters.
Now, she is in your Windows 10 operating system talking about her favorite colors, latest events, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, History, and even the latest news about fantasy football.
To give you an overview of what kind of “person” Cortana is, here are some of the conversations you might want to spark up with her on your first meet up:
User: Hey Cortana, Where do you live?
Cortana: Right now, I live in the cloud
User: Hey Cortana, Who made you?
Cortana: While I can’t give details, but let me assure you – humans are involved.
User: Hey Cortana, who’s your daddy?
Cortana: Technically speaking, it’s Bill Gates… No big deal.
Cortana is so adorable.
DirectX 12
It is probably the greatest news for every gamer, game developers, and designers. DirectX 12 is the latest version in a series of APIs that centers around hardware processing for different multimedia support and it is exclusive to Windows 10. DirectX is what sets your PC (could be armed with the latest GTX 980) apart from gaming consoles when it comes to gaming, defining it as the “Gaming Master Race” by the pop culture.
Almost all video games released on different platforms tend to perform better on the PC version than the other versions (better graphics, draw distance, processing, framerates, and resolution).
And with the latest announcement of Microsoft on E3, Xbox games can now be played directly on the PC with Microsoft in it.
Simply put: PC is the best place for video games. Always was, always will be.
Future Proof
Soon, software and even hardware drivers will optimize their updates for Windows 10. Graphic drivers for all GPUs will most likely opt for upgrades tailored for Windows 10 because of DirectX 12 alone.
Windows 10 also has the best cloud supported system to date. In these modern times, the cloud is everywhere and Windows 10 heavily influences it.
So just get Windows 10 now and prepare yourself for the future.
Because why not?
The greatest misconception especially from Windows 7 users is that Windows 10 will have compatibility issues with their system.
It won’t.
If your PC can run Windows 7 as it should, then it should run Windows 10 fine. After all, Windows 10 was designed with mobile integration. Meaning, it is scaled down for accessibility more than power.
If a phone can run it, a PC can do it as well.
It’s free for a limited time period. That’s about a $100 saved! So for the love of everything, please just take it.
Microsoft loves you.
