Windows 10 All you need to know!

Windows have announced that its new version of windows will be shipped this summer not just for desktops but also for all other devices from smart phones to laptops.

Good news is that windows will be free for previous windows 8.1 and windows 7 users. And it is been said that it will also be available for free for pirated versions of windows.

Microsoft is trying to balance it for everyone.

Here’s a look of new windows 10.

What’s new?

There a lot of new features in the new windows

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.

The New Track pad Gestures 

Microsoft has worked also on the track pad gestures to improve the input methods.
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.

The Technical preview of windows 10 is available here to download.

If you can run windows 8.1 or 8 without any problem then you can run windows 10 as well. This is just a technical preview by Microsoft and it is not a finished product it is sort of rough in some areas although mot of the functionality is implemented and a lot is to come. It is recommended that you backup everything first and then install the technical preview as It may crash while installing and may delete some of the files.

In order to use Cortana you must install the technical preview with US English Language.

Nokia’s First Phablet, The Lumia 1520, Crops Up In Leaked Image.

Nokia has been rumoured to be preparing a Windows Phone-powered phablet for many months, to expand the upper echelons of its smartphone portfolio and battle Samsung's Galaxy Note line (the latest of which, the Note 3, was unboxed only this week). Images purporting to depict a palm-stretching handset carrying Nokia's branding have also cropped up online before now, but today prolific leaker @evleaks has posted a press image in Nokia's typical style.

The image shows what's evidently a larger than usual Windows Phone, with enough screen real estate to display 11 x 6 rows of icons (vs the 7 x 4 icons that the 4.5 inch Lumia 925 accommodates). The other notable feature is the gently protruding rear camera which looks to be the same as the 925's PureView-branded 8.7MP lens -- so not, in other words, the 41MP 'true PureView' Lumia 1020.

Nokia hasn't officially confirmed its phablet launch plans, but the pattern of an increasing flow of leaks is consistent with other leaky Lumia launch trajectories (such as the Lumia 1020). It's certainly no secret that Nokia has been weighing up getting into the phablet space on Windows Phone -- and doing so for a long time. Back in February 2012 the company told TechCrunch that it was "looking closely [at the mid-size tablet market] and looking to see whether it will catch on".

In the event, Samsung has continued building momentum in the category, while smartphone screens generally have inflated in size to try to keep up with the trend for bigger phones. Meanwhile Nokia has faced an uphill battle trying to sell its smartphones in a market dominated by Android and iOS. Indeed, it's been such a struggle for the company that, at the start of this week, it confirmed it would be throwing in the towel by selling its Devices & Services unit to Microsoft for $7.2 billion and licensing its brand name for use by Redmond on mobiles and smartphones.

That transaction is not due to close til the first quarter of 2014, though, so Nokia has a few more months of pushing phones ahead of it. The Windows Phone phablet is named in @evleaks' tweet as the Nokia Lumia 1520 and includes this year's date --indicating a 2013 launch, which suggests Nokia will be launching the device, rather than letting Microsoft do the honours.

Getting into the phablet making-game -- even at this late stage -- is one way for Nokia to try to make its devices stand out against the iPhone, which has remained sub-phablet sized, despite Apple increasing the screen size of its current flagship iPhone 5 to 4 inches (up from 3.5 inches). But it's not going to help Lumia stand out against Android, as many Android OEMs have been ploughing the big phone furrow for some time. As well as the Galaxy Note line (and Samsung's other phablet brand, Mega), a Nokia phablet would compete with phablets from the likes of Sony, LG and Huawei.

Add to that, Apple continues to be rumoured to be testing bigger screen iPhones -- albeit, testing different form factors is simply due diligence in such a competitive market as smartphones. It remains to be seen whether a phablet-sized iPhone will end up going into production -- a Reuters report has previously suggested Apple is considering a 2014 timeframe for that. Meanwhile Cupertino of course has its iPad mini and full fat iPad to cover off the larger form factor tablet space in its portfolio (Nokia is rumoured to be lining up a Windows RT tablet too -- doubtless on its soon-to-be-phone-owner Microsoft's instructions).

Returning to the Lumia phablet, at the end of the day, a larger screen is not what Windows Phone needs to lure consumers away from Android and iOS. It needs more developers to make better apps -- but with Android dominating market share and iOS still leading on app monetisation there's precious little reason for developers to prioritise Microsoft's OS.

And, from the consumer perspective, Windows Phone remains a solution looking for a problem. Android and iOS continue to be successful because of their apps focus and app-centric UIs. Just offering something different is not in itself enough of a reason for choice-spoilt consumers to care at this point -- as the failure of Facebook's Android launcher/app replacer, Home, also underlines.
