Familiar and productive user experience

With Windows 10, your apps and content adapt to display beautifully in all modes, on all devices. Even as you transition from one screen to another, you’ll enjoy a consistent experience. This way, you can stay focused on what matters most: your work. Here are a few of the features Microsoft has created to improve your Windows 10 experience:

Start Menu and Live Tiles

With Windows 10, you get the same, familiar and productive experience as Windows 7, including a task bar and apps that work like you expect. You also get enhanced features like the Start menu which can be customized with live tiles for even faster access to your apps and files.

Continuum

The best screen is always the one you’re on. On 2-in-1 devices that convert from tablets into laptops, Continuum lets you use desktop or tablet mode and seamlessly transition between type and touch inputs.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is the all-new browser built to give you a better web experience—one that’s made for easy sharing, reading, discovering, and getting things done online.

Enterprise-grade Security

Today we are experiencing a revolution in cyber-threats. No longer motivated by mischief, cybercriminals today are well-funded organizations out to steal intellectual property and disrupt your business. Windows 10 is designed for the needs of the world’s largest enterprises and governments to help protect their data, devices, and identities. We’re architecting security solutions at every level to help protect your devices, user identities, data, and network connections.  That same level of security is also available for your business.

Security starts with you.

Today, passwords are the primary way we protect our personal information, but they are inconvenient and insecure. Windows 10 introduces an alternative with Microsoft Passport and Windows Hello. Using either a PIN or a biometric identity, your business can easily move away from passwords to strong multi-factor authentication for everything on their network, including the devices themselves.

Windows 7 can’t protect you from modern security threats.

Today’s modern security threats have far outpaced the defenses built to protect you in Windows 7. Windows 10 can keep you on the offensive against a cyber-attack.

Not all devices are created equal.

A range of modern, innovative Windows devices are available to help you do great things at affordable prices. From phones to tablets to PCs, your business needs devices that are both pragmatic and personal. They should work the way you do and deliver an experience that empowers you and your team to do great things.

Microsoft, together with its partners, is driving device innovation that delights users, provides new capabilities, and empowers your team to be more productive—all while helping to keep  your information protected anytime, anywhere. Here are just a few examples:

Natural User Interface

Technology should naturally enhance the human experience, not stand in the way. With new device capabilities, like Windows Hello and new devices, like Hololens, Microsoft is making this vision a reality.

Security

Similar to the way a home security system adds a layer of protection beyond the lock on your front door, Windows 10 brings innovation to device security, such as advanced biometric authentication.

2-in-1s

Who says you can’t have it all? Microsoft has introduced a brand new category of device—the portable, compact 2-in-1 that provides a dynamic tablet and laptop experience.

Digital Pen & Inking

Real-time information sharing is critical to the success of any business. With OneNote, the free digital note-taking app, and the new browser, Microsoft Edge, it’s easy to express and share your ideas immediately.

Manage your technology with ease

Managing technology can be less intrusive and demanding than you may think. Windows 10 now offers you the ability to manage your IT with a light touch – you don’t need heavy on-premises enterprise solutions. New cloud-based management tools mean your infrastructure is all virtual and can scale up or down with your business needs. When you spend less time managing your technology, you can spend more time running your business.

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Use a single MDM solution to manage all your devices – PCs, tablets, and phones. You can even use Office 365 to lightly manage your devices or other industry-standard MDM solutions

Azure AD (Active Directory) Join

You can now manage your user logins without an on-premises server.  Azure AD join lets you use cloud services to provide a unified identity to login to all your Windows devices, OneDrive, the Windows Store, and Office 365.

Windows Update for Business

Reduce management costs while giving you more control of your system updates and quicker access to security updates. Your business will always have the latest solutions from Microsoft.
