In the concluding article of this series, we will consider the final points that were raised in part one<\/strong><\/a>. So far, we have focused on integral issues such as supportability and security: Microsoft is ending support for Windows 7 in January 2020 so there is no better time to upgrade to Windows 10. The lack of security updates will leave your Windows 7 PC vulnerable to attack. In contrast, Windows 10 has impressive security features to protect you. We also recognised that Windows 10\u2019s performance and efficiency is far superior to that of Windows 7. Here are the final five key reasons to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User-friendly Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Windows 7 followed it predecessors, Windows XP and Windows\n98, in its interface; it was familiar, simple and accessible. However, the way\nwe use computers has changed, and Windows has evolved to reflect that. Windows\n10 is optimised for not only PC use, but tablet as well. Its interface is\ntouch-friendly but can be used comfortably with touch or cursor. Microsoft\nheard our cries of despair when the start button disappeared in Windows 8 and\nmercifully, they have brought it back, meaning Windows 10 still follows a\nfamiliar format. They have also added some features to make the user experience\nmore pleasant. For example, clipboard history allows you to paste multiple items\nyou have recently copied so you don\u2019t have to constantly switch between\napplications copying and pasting. Timeline on task view allows you to view\napplications you\u2019ve been using recently and pick up where you left off.\nPressing the Windows key \u2013 Shift \u2013 S allows you to select an area for screen\ncapture. You can also choose to have a light or dark default app mode. These\nare small things that really make a difference to the overall user experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Virtual assistants, such as Siri, Alexa and Google Now, have\nbecome a convenience that we are all beginning to take for granted. Windows 10\ncomes with its own assistant, Cortana. Cortana provides hands-free\ncommunication with your PC. She is integrated with core areas such as Edge, so\nwill search the internet, as well as your files to find you an answer. Cortana\ncan also be used to set specific reminders and her notebook keeps track of your\ninterests, so information that is relevant to you will pop up, for example, local\nweather and traffic conditions.  The\nability to interact with your technology hands-free is a useful addition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows Management Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft have introduced features with the aim of\nmaximising productivity and optimising screen space. You can now snap together\nfour apps on one screen, resize windows and connect multiple monitors for a\nholistic overview of your work. Additionally, the introduction of a virtual\ndesktop allows you to switch between tasks and projects whilst keeping the\nothers open. To help keep you organised, Windows Action Centre is a new feature\nthat groups all your notifications in one task bar. This includes email\nnotifications, reminders and app messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-device Familiarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Windows 10 syncs across your devices. This includes Edge\nbrowser, so your history is available on both your mobile browser and PC. Your\ntimeline on task view is synced across devices so you can open an app that you\nwere using a few days ago on a different device. Additionally, clipboard\nhistory is available across devices, so if, for example, you copied a phrase on\nyour windows 10 phone, you can paste it on your PC. Cortana is shared over both\nplatforms, so she will remember your preferences and can send you reminders.\nOffice 365 is integrated with Windows 10 so you can continue your work from\nanywhere, and of course, Onedrive provides you with the cloud space to save\nyour work. Finally, the Continue on PC app allows you to send a webpage or\ndocument from your PC to your phone so you can work on the go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows Autopilot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Windows Autopilot, which is available in the\nEnterprise and Professional editions of Windows 10, allows your business to run\nseamlessly. You can set up configurations that can be downloaded from the cloud\nonto your business\u2019s Windows 10 PCs. This means that when a new employee\nstarts, they can take a new computer, connect to the office network and the PC\nwill automatically configure to required settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
