Microsoft intends to continue with twice-a-year updates in this vein. That
should make life interesting for you—and miserable for people who write

and edit computer books.

Herewith: summaries of the new features. They’re presented in three
categories:

If you’ve used Windows 10 before. Read this if you’ve been
using an earlier Windows 10 version. It offers an overview of the

big-ticket features Microsoft has added in the past three updates.

If you’re used to Windows 8. If the whole concept of Windows

10 is new to you, but you’ve seen the touch-friendly world of
Windows 8, start here.

If you’re used to Windows 7. And if it’s really been a while since
the last time you checked in to Windows, read this section, too.
You might also want to familiarize yourself with recent topics like

smartphones, Instagram, and Netflix.
