Windows 10: Better Operating system than Windows 10

I am looking for a better operating system.


In the past, asked about how to stop Microsoft from selecting files and folders and moving or deleting them. Whatever I tried, did not work.


Though now I have a new computer, when I see this happen-it is so quick I cannot cancel it, cannot undo it or go back. So I am losing files all over the place and no clue until later what was deleted or moved.


I download a lot of pdf files that are books on a daily basis-I fear that is what I might lose.


Why not put them on OneDrive? I don't want to. Can someone tell me why Microsoft is ditching edge and going with a Chromium look a like? What about Media players. Everytime I played a song that I owned digitally-I would get a pop up telling me I could buy the whole Album-I already owned the full album but sure enough every song would bring that up. When declined-the next song would do the same ting. So I deleted that program and went with a freeware one. Nevermind you could not make disks and might be wrong on this-don't think you could rip an album.


So as Microsoft intends to force us to use whatever they put on here, I do not trust them anymore. When the first XBOX came out-I bought it. Had lots of fun. Newer one I bought was too complicated so I gave it to a friend of mine-yes I paid 400-500 dollars for a new one and did not like it. I do not have XBOX anymore so why would I want it on my computer?


After moving all my pics from a hard drive to this new computer-I dropped the hard drive and broke it-cannot access anything on it. I noticed a day or two, I have not one picture on my new computer. If someone wants to lecture me about using cloud computing I am going to lecture back about how Microsioft has gone down hill after XP and causes me to lose that I had on my new computer. Besides that-File explorer is not really that good so I bought Opus for 90 dollars because it works ten times better than files explorer.


If you do not know of a good system alternative, I am he process of replacing any program that is from Microsoft. Whether payed or free. Get this-I love ANVIR Task manager but all of a sudden after maybe ten years of using it, now, I am told that this program has been blocked for my protection and cannot figure out how to stop that allowing free access. One person on here told me to go to Microsoft store and see if you can find it on there and then download it. If it is not-just get rid of the program-it is obviously not good for you. ****? If this is the level of support I will get because some moderator or whatever how they rank you on here-wants to get more points and more recognition-if you do not have a viable solution, then don't shove this ignorant stuff at me.

Microsoft Announces Windows 10 Operating System

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday unveiled its next Windows operating system, Windows 10, and gave a first look at an early technical preview for the PC available Oct. 1. The announcement highlighted advancements designed for business, including an updated user experience and enhanced security and management capabilities. The company also introduced the Windows Insider Program, kicking off its largest-ever open collaborative development effort to change the way Windows is built and delivered to best meet the needs of customers. Program participants will receive the technical preview of Windows 10 and a steady stream of builds through the development cycle to use and give feedback on.

"Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows, unlocking new experiences to give customers new ways to work, play and connect," said Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Operating Systems group at Microsoft. "This will be our most comprehensive operating system and the best release Microsoft has ever done for our business customers, and we look forward to working together with our broader Windows community to bring Windows 10 to life in the months ahead."





Windows 10: familiarity and consistency across devices
Windows 10 adapts to the devices customers are using - from Xbox to PCs and phones to tablets and tiny gadgets - and what they're doing with a consistent, familiar and compatible experience, enabling even greater productivity. Windows 10 will run across the broadest range of devices ever from the Internet of Things to enterprise datacenters worldwide. Microsoft is also delivering a converged application platform for developers on all devices with a unified app store. Developers will be able to write an application once and deploy it easily across multiple device types, making discovery, purchase and updating easier than ever for customers.

Windows 10: designed for the challenges of modern business
Windows 10 builds nearly everything that businesses need right into the core of the product - including enterprise-grade security, identity and information protection features - in ways that can reduce complexities and provide better experiences than other solutions. One area of advancement is in the work Microsoft has done with user identities to improve resistance to breach, theft or phishing. Windows 10 will also help advance data loss prevention by using containers and data separation at the application and file level, enabling protection that follows the data as it goes from a tablet or PC to a USB drive, email or the cloud.

Management and deployment have been simplified to help lower costs, including in-place upgrades from Windows 7 or Windows 8 that are focused on making device wipe-and-reload scenarios obsolete. Businesses will also have the flexibility to choose how quickly they adopt the latest innovations and influence continued improvements. In addition, organizations will be able to customize an app store specific to their needs and environment. The intent is an app store that will allow for volume app licensing, flexible distribution, and the ability for organizations to reclaim or reuse licenses when necessary.

Technical preview PC productivity
The early technical preview of Windows 10 demonstrates new levels of flexibility, navigation and familiarity through the Windows experience. Features include these:

• Expanded Start menu. The familiar Start menu is back, providing quick one-click access to the functions and files that people use most, and it includes a new space to personalize with favorite apps, programs, people and websites.
• Apps that run in a window. Apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop programs do. They can be resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing users to maximize, minimize and close with a click.
• Snap enhancements. Working in multiple apps at once is easier and more intuitive with snap improvements. A new quadrant layout allows up to four apps to be snapped on the same screen. Windows will also show other apps and programs running for additional snapping, and it will even make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open apps.
• New Task view button. The new Task view button on the task bar enables one view for all open apps and files, allowing for quick switching and one-touch access to any desktop created.
• Multiple desktops. Instead of too many apps and files overlapping on a single desktop, it's easy to create and switch between distinct desktops for different purposes and projects - whether for work or personal use.

Open and collaborative development
The introduction of the Windows Insider Program demonstrates Microsoft's continued commitment to working closely with customers to help shape the future of Windows. Windows Insiders will be able to give feedback on early builds of the product throughout the development cycle. The program will include various ways for Windows Insiders to engage in a two-way dialogue with Microsoft, including a Windows Feedback app for sharing suggestions and issues and a Windows Technical Preview Forum for interacting with Microsoft engineers and fellow Insiders. More information on the Windows Insider Program and the technical preview can be found here.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
