Difference between Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Windows 10 in the "Technical Preview" modification did not have time to appear, as it was already christened the most unique and unified operating system of the company. Indeed, Microsoft has taken a huge step forward with Windows 10. If the software giant manages to present the world with an operating system that works perfectly on different platforms, then software developers will have a lot of free time, because the application created for Windows 10 can be launched as on a PC as well as on a tablet or smartphone. Will the top ten manage to become as popular an operating system as Windows XP and 7? Support for the seventh version will soon end, and users from all over the world will need to decide whether to move to the top ten or not.

One platform for all devices

Windows 7 has never been installed on tablets or smartphones because the kernel does not support ARM processors. In Windows 8, ARM support appeared, as a result of which the mobile market was flooded with smartphones and tablets running on the G8. But in the "tenth" version, Microsoft stepped into the future, providing users with complete unification between devices. The downloaded application from the Windows Store can be run on both a smartphone and a computer running Windows 10. In addition, the "Continuum" function will allow the system to automatically adjust to the configuration.

Refinement of the desktop and "Start"

Developers did not deprive Windows 10 of the desktop and the "Start" menu, as it was in the "eighth" version. The difference between Windows 10 and Windows 7 is that the developers have tweaked both the Start and the desktops.

An expanded menu called Modern brings live tiles from Windows 8, and the desktop gets the virtualization feature that OS X and Linux have long enjoyed. Users of the new operating system will be able to create desktops, run up to 4 applications in them simultaneously and switch between virtual tables with one click of the mouse.

Performance and security

The main difference between Windows 10 and Windows 7 is that the tenth version has significantly increased the performance and security of the system. The "ten", like the "eight", loads much faster than the previous version. At the same time, the optimization of the work of background programs led to a decrease in the consumption of RAM. The interface of the updated Task Manager has become simpler, and background programs can automatically close after some time.

Alas, in the "seven" all processes had to be "killed" manually.

As for security, as in Windows 8, the tenth version has a Smartscreen filter in the built-in antivirus.

App Store and Other Features

With Windows 8 hitting the market, Microsoft launched the Windows Store, where developers from all over the world began placing their apps. If in the final version of Windows 10 it will also be possible to run the same applications from the Windows Store on a computer and a tablet / smartphone, then the application store will become a kind of universal repository for all programs. There was no such store for Windows 7 and, apparently, will not be.

In Windows 10, operations when working with files have been optimized, additional methods for checking a license, hotkeys for switching the keyboard language have been introduced, and new items have been added: version of Internet Explorer 12, DirectX 12, NET. Framework 4.5. In addition, for the first time in the operating system from Windows, the voice assistant Cortana will appear.

Alas, there is no Russian localization in the distributions. An overview and installation of Windows 10 TP is presented in this video:
