The tech industry has been filled with excitement since Microsoft announced its plan to release Windows 10 toward the end of 2015. By taking a leap straight from Windows 8 to Windows 10, Microsoft is reasserting its commitment to innovation and user experience. In fact, Microsoft is so passionate about Windows 10 that it is giving both genuine and pirated users the green light to upgrade to the new version free of charge. As we eagerly await the release of Windows 10 later this year, it is high time for business owners to take a look at Windows 10 and seriously contemplate its effect on their businesses.
Built for Business Users
One of the main factors that makes Windows 10 so special is its thoughtful development for business owners. Windows 10 was developed with the enterprise market in mind. It is built for businesses and designed to fine-tune your day-to-day business transactions. To make sure that businesses can enjoy and upgrade to Windows 10 painlessly, Microsoft developed different versions of Windows 10 to accommodate devices like ATMs, ultrasound machines and even the 85” touch-screen conference room displays in your meeting room! In fact, Windows 10 is supportive of a broad family of hardware. It comes with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS and a smart-class Snapdragon 410 chipset so you can have everything you need for an optimized Windows experience.
Seamless User Interface
Windows 10 has the Start menu as Windows 7 does, so you can easily browse through your system and search for specific files. Additionally, a new-context based feature called Continuum, which will allow users to seamlessly transition between different kinds of devices. For example, you could be using your Surface Pro 3 as a touch-screen tablet, but then when you plug in a keyboard, Continuum will adjust its display settings. Users who prefer keyboards can enjoy the familiar desktop-style display, while users who are working from a tablet have the option to switch to a touch-based interface and get that modern full-screen Start display as in Windows 8.

Upgraded Security
Cyber security is a chief concern for businesses of all sizes. Business owners who use Windows 10 will have a better defense against hackers and data breaches. Adopting a multifactor authentication strategy, Windows 10 offers an improved user identity check system for accessing devices, apps and sites. The micro-level security feature is not only embedded at the core of Windows 10, but is further enhanced by Windows Hello, a biometric authentication system that integrates face and fingerprint recognition. According to Windows, this approach is much safer than traditional passwords. it creates a personal sign-in option that is much more unique than “a random assortment of letters and numbers that are easily forgotten, hacked, or written down and pinned to a bulletin board.”
The Best is Yet to Come
Windows 10 certainly promises all the great features of Windows 8, while giving us a stronger dose of its goodness, free of charge. Business owners who are interested in improving the performance and efficiency of their business technology will be glad to switch to Windows 10 for its optimized user interface and security system. Moreover, the fact that Windows 10 is compatible with many existing hardware and software applications also makes it a solid and versatile solution for business owners who need to interact with diverse devices and programs. Windows 10 is easy to use, friendly to your budget (because it’s free!) and absolutely convenient. Kiss old Windows 8 goodbye and skip forward to Windows 10 without ever looking back!{{cta(‘83409834-2e41-48f4-89e9-1aeb5b7e055b’)}}
