Microsoft releases first major update for Windows 10 — here’s what’s new (and better)
Windows 10 Activation
When installing Windows 10, or upgrading an existing operating system, you can now use a Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 key to activate it. Previously, those keys wouldn’t work — your valid Windows license had to be converted into one that worked with Windows 10, and the entitlement was stored in the cloud to allow for a clean install.
User experience updates;
-
Performance – boot time now nearly 30% faster than Windows 7 on the same device.
-
Cortana – many updates, including using your devices pen to scribble a note in the Cortana Notebook. Note: some of these features are US only for now.
-
Microsoft Edge – improved performance and security, tab previews, syncing of Favourites and Reading lists across devices and more.
-
Other improvements – to Mail, Calendar, Photos, Groove, Xbox, Store, OneNote and more!
Simplifying IT for Continuous Innovation
-
Windows Update for Business – in a nutshell, this update provides greater IT controls over the deployment of updates within your organisation.
-
Windows Store for Business – a new way to find, manage and deploy applications to Windows 10 devices in a flexible manner. This applies to Windows Store apps and custom LOB apps.
Managing Device Options for the Modern Workplace
-
Mobile Device Management – utilise the full power of Enterprise Mobility Management to manage PCs, tablets, phones and IoT devices.
-
Azure Active Directory Join – maintain ONE directory! Your users will have one login across multiple devices and be able to roam their Windows settings and data across those devices.
Securing Your Organisation
-
Credential Guard – safeguarding of credentials inside a hardware-based virtualised environment.
-
Device Guard – using Trusted Boot to prevent installation of malware.
-
Windows Hello – if hardware permits, say goodbye to passwords and hello to enterprise-grade biometrics for login.
-
Windows Defender – free anti-malware service to protect approx. 300 million Windows devices daily.
