Windows 10: Windows 10 now a preferred choice for Enterprise Users

Microsoft since launching Windows 10 three years ago has been working very hard in convincing people to upgrade to its new operating system to be able to use their PCs more securely. The company has been working very hard on introducing new features for Windows 10 users over a long period of time.

The hard work of the Redmond Giant can be said to be finally paying off with the company’s latest operating system now holding 48% of market share in terms of the enterprise users. According to new Report from Duo, the company’s adoption of Windows 10 operating system has increased from 27% same time last year to 48% in 2018.

This increase is attributed to the constant marketing the company has been doing and educating PC users to upgrade to the latest operating system due to its advanced security features which helped the OS to remain safe from the recent WannaCry attacks.

The increase in share percentage can also be attributed to the declining of Microsoft’s other operating system Windows 7 whose percentage share has fallen from 65% last year to 44% in 2018. We could still see the declining trend of Windows 7 to continue since Microsoft will be ending support for the OS in 2020.

The increase in percentage is only contributed by the enterprise users as the overall Windows 10’s market share has not been great with the share percentage falling from 68% to 65% this year.

Windows 10 has been a popular OS for companies which deal with computers & electronics, non profit organizations etc. These are the companies which have adopted Microsoft’s latest OS as soon as it was available. However there are companies in insurance, healthcare which are yet to fully adopt the latest version.

The security features and the company’s increased focus on enterprises with Windows 10 have been the main reason behind enterprise users upgrading to the latest operating system. It remains to be seen whether Windows 10 will be able to increase its overall market share with support for Windows 7 ending in couple of years time and Microsoft working on adding new features in its latest version Redstone 5 due to be released by end of this year.

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

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
