Microsoft says that Windows 10 is designed for the modern world of cloud services and mobility, but what does that mean exactly? For starters:

  • Easy to use.
  • Familiar experience across devices.
  • Tailored to form factor.

The experience takes the familiarity of the Windows desktop and merges it with the power of modern Windows Store apps, Live Tiles, and Snap. The Start menu is back and better with Live Tiles and adjustable size. The look and feel will be consistent across Windows 10 devices, meaning a Windows 10 desktop user will feel comfortable picking up and using Surface upgraded to Windows 10. The experience will be familiar and intuitive. This is a big benefit and avoids colleagues having to learn how to get around new device types with different user experiences.

Additionally, Windows 10 integrates the Cloud with the PC, delivering fully-functional devices that can do what you need to get your work done. Windows 10 does web-apps, browsing, Windows Store apps, Windows desktop apps, you name it.

Windows 10 fundamentals can also light up your current Surface devices. Depending on the device version you upgrade to Windows 10, you should enjoy:

  • Improved boot times
  • Longer battery life
  • Better performance
  • Greater security
  • Faster WiFi reconnect
  • Multi-monitor and Snap improvements
  • An improved task manager
  • Plus all the other benefits of Windows 8 and Windows 10, fundamentally.
