New Windows 10 will surprise you in no less than nine
ways
This additional
set of conveniences will improve the way you multitask everyday
Link your Android phone to your
Windows 10 PC
With the Your Phone app, you can now link your
Android phone to your Windows 10 computer to send and receive texts and
transfer your photos from one to the other. It’s a good start to making your
mobile devices more connected to your computers.
Timeline in Windows 10 can also
be viewed on your smartphone
Earlier this year, Microsoft unveiled Timeline, a
Windows 10 feature that kept track of which files and web pages you were
accessing and when. Now, Android users can install the Microsoft Launcher app
and access the same Timeline, so you can find the website or the file you
wanted. It’s coming to iPhone at some point soon as well.
The Cloud Clipboard feature lets
you copy/paste text or pictures from one computer to another
Windows 10 already keeps a record of everything you
copy, including text and images, with the Clipboard feature. It also lets you
copy multiple things, without having to paste. With the new Cloud Clipboard
feature, your copied clips can now be synced with other Windows 10 devices,
too. It is likely to prove useful for anyone who switches between multiple
Windows 10 PCs.
File Explorer joins the fun when
you put Windows 10 in ‘dark mode’
While a lot of people find that a dark theme is
easier on the eyes, others like the fresh, new look.
Windows 10 can tell how much
battery is left on your Bluetooth devices
This is something Apple’s MacOS has been able to do
for ages.
Better support for HDR displays
and ‘Ray Tracing’ technology
HDR is designed to bring better contrast and colours
to content that supports it. Windows 10 has had patchy success in making the
most of high-end HDR displays, but the October update could help with that. The
latest Windows 10 version is also compatible with Nvidia’s latest ‘Ray Tracing’
technology that is said to make lighting more realistic for video games.
It can also tell you which apps
are using the most battery on your laptop
This is a nice addition that gives you more control
over what’s using up your Windows 10 laptop’s battery life. Unlike the guessing
game with previous versions, the new feature will give you a better idea of
what apps to kill or get rid of entirely if they’re misbehaving.
Make text easier to read without
making everything else bigger
It’s hard to find, but you can now change the size of
text in Windows 10 without making everything else bigger, too. This is useful
for higher-resolution displays, or if you want to keep the Windows 10 interface
small, but still be able to read the text.
New Snip & Sketch feature
will be taking over from the existing Snipping Tool for taking screenshots
By pressing the Windows key + Shift + S buttons,
you’ll be given the option to take a full screenshot, an adjustable rectangular
screenshot, or a free-form screenshot of any shape. It will then be saved
directly to your Clipboard. It’s easier to use than the old Snipping Tool.
