The amazing feature is the personal assistant Cortana.

The old Start is back. But you can switch to the full screen start menu if you want to.

All the store apps will open in the desktop mode with title bars and maximize and minimize buttons.

The charms haven’t been removed.

The Long ignored command prompt is also been improved.

as on laptops track pad is the basic input device and to make it easy to use Microsoft has added new gestures for precision track pads 
which are shown in the image.

The System Requirements for windows 10 desktop version will be as follows

1 GHz CPU

1 GB of RAM for 32 bit and 2 GB for 64 bit

16GB of storage space

The system requirements for smartphones and tablets will be as follows

3 Inch of minimum screen size

512 MB of RAM

4 GB of internal storage (at this limit also a microSD card slot)

Support for DirectX 9

The higher the resolution the higher the ram required will be.

If your device has 480 by 800 or 480 by 854 you will require at least 512 mb of RAM

For a 900 by 1,440 and 1,200 by 1,920 display resolution you will need at least 2GB of RAM and for a device having a 2k display will need 3GB of Ram.

Physical hardware buttons for power, volume up and volume down (in case of the lowest-supported-resolution -- 480 by 800 -- start, back and search buttons -- capacitive, given current designs -- are also needed)

The hardware requirements for buttons are consistent with those for Windows Phones.
