Windows 10 - Ready For Launch Training Day! Windows 10 Challenge-Nottingham



Well today we had our windows 10 challenge. Training around the windows 10 launch on the 29th July 2015!

FREE - for all on windows 7 and 8.1 already! ... We like free! 



At first because I'm an apple user and havnt used windows machines since XP I was quite surprised how they have moved on in the tech industry very nicely. From selling windows machines on 8 and 8.1 a lot of people had negative thoughts towards it. But today looking, playing and learning the new features! I'M VERY EXCITED. 

We had four main sections to the learning process these where: 
• Feels familiar and better than ever
• Personal and more natural
• Works across all your devices 
• Be more productive 


Key moments for the windows 10 launch! 
• Start Button 
• One Drive 
• Office 
• Xbox integration with PC gaming
• continuum
• Cortana 
• Snap screen 
• Microsoft Edge
Plus many more! 

And one for the future! Hololens! 
See video bellow and at the bottom.  This is the future, but now!

Continiuun is - 

Continuum’s been discussed in terms of convertible devices—shifting to a touch-friendly tablet interface when you rip the keyboard off your Surface, and back to the desktop paradigm when the keyboard’s reattached. With Windows 10 phones, the devices will perform similarly to a traditional PC when they’re connected to an external monitor, along with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Xbox integration- 

"With Xbox on Windows 10, we’re bringing some of the most exciting features from Xbox Live and some of the most popular Xbox experiences into Windows 10 itself. The built-in Xbox app is the place where your world of gaming comes together. It’s a unified view of the games you care about, your friends, and your gaming activities. And with Xbox Live, more than 50 million members will now connect across screens in new ways." Phil spencer - Microsoft 

Cortana - 

Not what—who. Cortana is your clever new personal assistant, and she can search the web, find things on your PC, keep track of your calendar. The more she helps you out, and the more she learns about you, the better she gets.
To get started with Cortana, just type a question in the search box on the taskbar, or select the microphone icon and talk to her. (Typing works for all types of PCs, but you need a mic to talk.) www.windows.microsoft.com

Microsoft Edge - 
(Project Sparten) 

You can search faster through the search bar. Turn those pesky adverts off by going into reading mode. Write on web pages, send them via email ect via a off file format. And a clever little hub that stores everything in once place. 




The guys made learning fun, and that's what windows is about, having the most fun out of technology. Hands on experience is a great way to see and learn new products. 

Fun activities including code breaking, demo testing and standing in a glass shell with air trying to catch windows tickets was fun, see pictures and videos below! 




Well done Microsoft you've exceeded my expectations once again. Even with rubbish internet connection we made it! The free beer at the end was a nice surprise to! 





Freebies to take away!
