Windows 10: Snapchat’s new camera app is now available for Windows 10 PCs

Snapchat is one of the apps that are missing from the Microsoft Store. Although everyone hoped to see an official Snapchat app for Windows Phone, it never happened.

Snapchat today released its first app for Windows 10 but it’s not something that users were hoping to see. Snapchat is bringing a Snap Camera app to Windows 10 and MacOS but it’s not at all similar to the actual Snapchat app available for iOS and Android counterpart.

Snapchat’s Snap Camera app is a totally different platform as it is supposed to be used with a variety of apps like Skype. The app will integrate custom lenses with other video conferencing messaging apps like Skype and Twitch.

“Today, we are excited to introduce Snap Camera, a free application designed for desktop that invites anyone to experience the fun of Lenses while using their computer,” the company said.

Minimum requirements to run Snap Camera on Windows 10

• Intel Core i3 processor with up to 2.5 GHz or an AMD Phenom II clocked at 2.6Ghz.
• 4GB of RAM.
• The device should have a screen resolution of 1,280 x 768 or higher.

You don’t need to create a Snapchat account to use the app as it does not sync with the Snapchat platform.

Considering the fact that Snapchat has been struggling lately and the company lost millions of monthly active users in the last quarter, it certainly makes sense to bring the app to a widely-used platform like Windows 10.

The app is not available in Microsoft Store but you can download it on your PC from the company’s official website 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

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
