Microsoft’s Cloud Storage Service OneDrive is tightly integrated with Windows 10 without the need for an app. OneDrive creates a local folder on the hard drive whose content and subfolders are automatically synchronized with the cloud storage so that the data is available without a permanent Internet connection
5. OneDrive is your personal data store on the Internet
To save files to OneDrive, copy them to the OneDrive folder only on the PC. The first device is used to specify which OneDrive folders should be transferred to the PC. Of course, the selection can be changed at any time later. If you remove a folder from the selection, it is deleted from the local hard disk and no longer synchronized. The cloud data remains intact and can be synchronized with other devices using the same Microsoft account.
6. The new system settings in the direct access
OneDrive is clearly displayed in the navigation area of the explorer. You do not need to navigate to the actual location of the folder in the directory tree. For all files and subfolders, colored icons show the current sync status.
7. Tablet mode - not just for tablets
All data on OneDrive are only visible to you. You can share files with friends. In the context menu of the desired file in the Explorer, select the Share OneDrive link. The freedabel is copied to the clipboard and can then be inserted into any app, for example, in an e-mail.
8. The new Microsoft Edge browser with share function
The new settings app, which can be easily called with the key combination [Win] + [I], will gradually replace the classic system control. If you switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10, many things will no longer be found in the usual place. Most screen settings of the settings contain a section related settings, which leads to the classic system control.
The tablet mode, which is activated via a symbol in the info center and also works on classic PCs, returns part of the Windows 8.1 user experience in Windows 10.
In tablet mode, each app is started as a full screen. The start menu opens similar to Windows 8.1 as a whole page with tiles for popular apps. A button on the upper left shows the list of all apps. By default, the app icons in the tasklist are missing. There are only icons for back, corta, and a desktop icon that shows thumbnails of all running apps. In the System / Tablet mode settings, you can also switch the app icons in this mode.
The new Microsoft Edge browser replaces Internet Explorer and supports all modern web technologies. It offers much less settings. For the undisturbed reading of longer texts, most websites and blogs can be switched to a new read-only view, which eliminates redundant graphic elements and, above all, advertising. One of the most popular features of the new browser is the ability to write comments on web pages. However, one does not write directly to a website, but only to a screenshot of it. To do this, the browser is connected to OneNote, which is provided free of charge as an app in Windows 10.
One of the biggest innovations is the digital assistant Cortana, who not only offers a search box in the tascheck, but also remembers appointments and answers other questions. Cortana can independently propose content such as news, traffic reports or weather. It evaluates all queries entered in the search field. In addition, Cortana responds to speech input and then speaks the answers. The key combination [Win] + [Shift] + [C] or a click on the microphone symbol in the search field lets Cortana listen. Cortana can also be activated via the voice command Hey Cortana, which can be particularly useful on mobile devices. However, just there, the constant on-call duty consumes much valuable battery power.
The search box in the tasklist finds local files, apps and settings as well as search results on the Internet. Unlike Windows 7, you do not need two separate search functions. The number icon in the upper right shows the current music through the microphone and finds it in the Windows Store.
Tip: Simply typing in a search term is similar to Windows 8 without clicking into the search field: Press the [Win] key and enter the search term. This button will open the Start menu and at the same time move the cursor to the Cortana search field.
