1.Start Is Back
Microsoft got rid of the “Start” button in Windows 8 in favor of the "Live Tiles"
interface, but the feature is making a triumphant return with Windows
10. The new Start Menu will allow you to access and pin apps, as well as
pin your contacts and websites into it. It even provides the ability to
search for content.

2. Always Listening 'Hey Cortana'
The personal assistant from Windows Phone is now available on PCs
through Windows 10. Cortana will offer her help and answer your
questions through various browser commands, as well as through the OS
itself. She's always-listening too, as long as you enable the feature.
Just say "Hey, Cortana", and then she'll wake up and understand you.
How to Turn on 'Hey Cortana'
- Click the search box to the right of the Start button. A Cortana dialog box appears.
- Click the menu icon in the upper right corner of Cortana’s window.
- Select Notebook.
- Select Settings
- Toggle “Let Cortana respond to ‘Hey Cortana.'” to On.

3.Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is the company's replacement browser for Internet
Explorer. It is the new, default web browser for Windows 10. Cortana
integration, Reading View, direct web page annotation, Reading List,
browser hub, and easier sharing are just a few of the new browser's most
interesting features.

4. Windows Phone Integration
There is an improved and specialised version of Windows 10 exclusively
for Microsoft's smartphones. Outlook and Office have been remodeled in
Windows 10 for phone too in order to resemble the PC apps. A coordinated
messaging hub is also a key feature that provides access to Skype and
various messengers in one convenient space. Windows 10 for phone will
launch later than the PC version.
5.Sign-In Methods
Your standard password may become obsolete when it comes to signing into
frequently-used apps in Windows 10. The Fast Identity Online standard
is a new feature in Windows 10 that allows you to log in using super
easy methods. It supports fingerprint readers and even retina scanners
on compatible devices, but even if you have neither you can log in
through a simple PIN code that is not stored on the machine so cannot be
hacked.
6.Multiple Desktops
Windows 10 allows you to create different desktops for multiple projects
and purposes; you can easily switch between them and pick up where you
left off each time. This type of feature should come in handy for
working on separate projects simultaneously - or just keeping business
and personal business separate.

7.Multitasking Improved
A quadrant layout in Windows 10 allows you to snap up to four apps on
the same screen. You will be able to view and rearrange all open apps,
as well as switch them between any of your multiple desktops. Windows 10
will even make suggestions for filling any available space in the
quadrant layout.
8.Xbox Integration
You can now play against other Xbox One players, stream games, and
record your own gameplay right from your Windows 10 device. No more
fighting over TV-usage, as you can play directly on your PC's screen.

9. New Interactions
Windows 10 gives you multiple ways to interact with your devices. You
will be able to touch, type, or write – use a writing pad, touch
keyboard, or type the old-fashioned way. Switching between touch and
non-touch interfaces has never been easier, thanks to the 'Contiuum'
feature. Contiuum allows Windows 10 to be able to detect if you're using
a mouse and keyboard, or if you're using a touchscreen and re-size and
layout the screen applicably.
10. Cost
This isn't really a feature, but it is a nice perk that we think
everyone will enjoy. Windows 10 is free for existing Windows 7 and 8/8.1
users for the first year, though pricing after that has not yet
confirmed. Microsoft has confirmed that updates for Windows 10 will be
free for the entire lifetime of their device.
