Download Windows 10 original ISO
Windows 10 is an example of a really high–quality product both in terms of functionality and design. This version of the operating system from Microsoft is the quintessence of all the operating systems developed by the company, from which everything was taken better, and the negative aspects were completely removed. To date, Windows 10 is the most popular Microsoft product that meets all modern requirements and even outstrips them by several years. This is achieved by regularly updating the OS and constantly working on its improvement. You can download Windows 10 for free on our website.
Main differences
- The updated Start menu will allow the user to view lists of frequently used applications and files in one click, as well as configure applications, programs, contacts and websites. It is possible to pin tiles to the Start menu, and if the tiles are not needed, they can be removed. However, if users prefer the Windows 8.1 Start screen, they can switch to it.
- Starting with build 10056, you can resize the Start menu using the mouse cursor or expand the menu to full screen.
- Recently installed apps are located in the middle of the Start menu's list of apps instead of being displayed and highlighted when you open the All Apps dialog as they were in previous versions of Windows.
- Windows Store apps now open in windowed mode. Using the new button in the window title, you can expand the application to full screen (if it supports it).
- The charms bar has been replaced by the Notification Center. Now they are available only in the application control menu in the window title.
- New "Notification Center" with quick settings buttons. Notifications will sync with other devices running Windows 10.

- New search bar with integrated voice assistant Cortana. Voice activation allows you to invoke the search with the “Hey, Cortana” command. She can search and open files or applications, send messages and more. So far, it is only available for the USA, Great Britain, China, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, however, with the official release, optimization is planned for other countries, including Russia, but only with the advent of Windows Redstone in 2016.
- The task view button will allow the user to create multiple desktops and switch between them to improve the efficiency of working with several programs at the same time. You can also open the task view screen by pressing ⊞ Win+Tab ↹.
- When you click on the network icon, connections will open in a small window, like in Windows 7. From there, you can also instantly turn on airplane mode or go to computer settings.

Along with Windows Hello, Microsoft is launching a system called Microsoft Passport designed to change passwords using personal devices such as smartphones and wearables so that you can authenticate to corporate systems and online content[2].
- In test version 10056, the Taskbar, Action Center, and Start menu received the Aero transparency effect. All transparency in the system can be easily disabled or vice versa enabled through the computer settings.
