OneDrive integration. When you save a new document, Windows
offers you a choice of location: either your computer or your
OneDrive—a free online “hard drive.” (OneDrive used to be called
SkyDrive.)
Miracast. You send video from your PC to TV sets that have
Miracast wireless features—great for streaming movies or
YouTube videos to your TV.
Miscellaneous overhauls. The Task Manager has been beautifully
redesigned. Parental controls offer everything from web protection
to daily time limits for youngsters. The Windows Recovery
Environment screens you use to troubleshoot at startup have been
beautified, simplified, and reorganized.
The Editions of Windows 10—and S Mode
There are no longer 17,278 different versions of Windows. No more Starter,
Home, Home Premium, Superduper, Ultimate, Existential, and so on.
Only two versions are for sale to the public: Home and Pro. Pro is aimed at
small businesses and hard-core PC techies. It adds advanced administrative
tools like BitLocker, Group Policy Editor, the Remote Desktop remote-
control app, and advanced security tools like Device Guard and Secure
Boot. And only Pro machines can join a corporate network.
You can upgrade from Home to Pro later (cost: $100). To get that going,
open → → Update & Security → Activation.
