An In Depth Look into Windows 10
Microsoft is betting a lot on the new Windows 10. The company is positioning its new operating system to be the platform not just for PCs and laptops, but for tablets, smart phones, the IoT (Internet of Things) and more.
In this article, we will highlight many of the key features of the new OS and who can upgrade.
Can I upgrade? Users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or a Windows Phone 8.1 are able to upgrade free for the first year of the release. Users of Windows XP and Vista will need to do a clean install. Check system requirements here first.
What are they key changes? Windows 10 actually borrows quite a lot from Windows 7 in addition to Windows 8.1. The answer to perhaps the number one question people ask is ... Yes, the Start Menu is back ... and it's better than ever.
There's so much more. Read some of the top features of Windows 10 now.

Another Major Healthcare Security Breach
