Windows 10 is a series of personal computer operating systems developed by Microsoft as part of its Windows NT family of operating systems. It is the successor to Windows 8.1 and was released to production on July 15, 2015, and to retail on July 29, 2015. Devices in enterprise environments may receive these updates more slowly, or take advantage of long-term support milestones that receive only critical updates such as security patches over the ten-year lifespan of extended support.
One of the most notable features of Windows 10 is support for universal apps, an extension of the Metro-style apps first introduced in Windows 8. Universal apps can be designed to run across multiple Microsoft product families using nearly identical code—including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub, and mixed reality. Notably on 2-in-1 PCs, both UIs include an updated Start menu that combines elements of the traditional Start menu from Windows 7 with the tiles from Windows 8.
Windows 10 also introduced the Microsoft Edge web browser, a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, support for fingerprint and facial recognition login, new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12.
