New interface

The design of windows has been significantly changed - soft shadows, rounded corners are used, transparency is supported. All parameters can be changed through the settings. If you work in multi-monitor mode, you can customize each desktop separately. It was decided to abandon the "live" tiles in the main menu, now a classic list is used, and a search module is also built in. The panel allows you to search for content in local catalogs and external sites. The type of icons, number and layout can be changed. The Start menu is located in the central part of the taskbar. Another noticeable change is the addition of Segoe UI Variable font, which is specially optimized for better scaling on high DPI displays. This allows you to work comfortably on modern devices. Many classic applications have been completely redesigned, including Video Player, Scissors and Paint. A customizable widget panel is provided, which can be used to access popular features.

Performance

The developers spent a lot of effort to optimize and improve performance. Some system components have been completely removed, and the size of updates has been significantly reduced. This process is now performed in the background and has a minimal load on the system. When installing on mobile devices, you can activate the function of automatic rotation of the desktop orientation. Added a haptic feedback mode. Additional functions aimed at the use of touch screens have appeared. The game mode has been improved. DirectStorage technology support has appeared, which allows to transfer game content directly to GPU, bypassing the central processor. This scheme improves performance and data transfer speed. It should be taken into account that this technology requires a special NVMe SSD.

Requirements and preparation

For stable operation of the platform requires a PC with at least 4 gigabytes of RAM. The processor must have at least two cores, frequency from 1 gigahertz. A video card with full support for DirectX 12 is also required. If the device meets all the requirements, you can update the current version of the system. It is also possible to independently install the platform by downloading an ISO image from the official resource. The installation process is standard - you can write the image to an external drive using the appropriate application. You may need to change the boot parameters, you should specify booting from an external disk. Then boot from it and step by step perform all the necessary operations and settings.
