5 New Interesting Features to Be Expected in Windows 10

Windows 10 is the codename for the latest generation of Windows operating system which isn’t expected to come out until the year 2015. The company debuted the same in an official event on Sept 30, 2014. The stable version of the OS will be available for consumers in the next year. Here are top 10 features to expect in the multi-perform operating system.

Snap Up to Four Apps to the Single Screen

Unlike the previous versions, there is no need to toggle between different windows while working simultaneously. With Windows 10 you can snap up to four software applications simultaneously in the same screen. It makes your work much easier, quicker and less annoying.

Run Windows Store Apps the Same Way Desktop Apps Work

As a user of Windows 8.1, you know that the applications downloaded from the Windows Store open quite differently. These applications would open in a Metro screen occupying the entire area of your screen. This led trouble to several users as it would take time and several clicks to snap between normal apps and metro apps.

Thanks to the developers of Windows 10 as the applications downloaded from Windows Store are opened in the same manner as desktop applications. You can view the applications in desktop mode, i.e. you can minimize, maximize and close them like other desktop applications. You can also move the Windows Store apps around the screen.

Multiple Desktops Makes It Easy & Fun to Work on Slew of Different Projects

Now spend less time navigating between apps, and focus more on working on your project works. Multiple desktops feature makes it easy and fun to work on different projects. You can create multiple desktops depending on how you want to work.

It Changes the Way You Switch Between Open Documents

A new feature called “Task View” changes the way you switch between open documents. If you’re a power user and multi-monitor setup isn’t possible to you, you’ll extremely love this feature. Unlike earlier releases of Windows, it provides a virtual desktop functionality for you which existed for other operating systems for years.

Although Windows 10 still offers quickly shuffling between different applications with Alt + Tab key combinations, Task View is something different. In Windows 10 you’ll find an icon at the bottom of the screen on the Taskbar, third from the left, which loads virtual desktops. You may snap multiple applications to one screen. You can fill a secondary monitor with different applications simultaneously.
What if you’re a single monitor user? Suppose if you’re using a project screen with different applications, simply swap to a virtual desktop or workspace. The most interesting thing is that the software programs are displayed on the desktop themselves. Software applications opened in virtual desktops are displayed with an underlined horizontal bar.

Snap Assist

The Snap feature which used to occupy about half of your screen in Windows 8.1 has been changed and improved. Windows 10 dynamically resizes each application window. When you snap a document at one corner of your desktop, the Snap Assist will come up with suggestions. Interestingly, you can snap up to four software applications on a single screen, which apparently boosts productivity.
