Microsoft's executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group, Terry Myserson revealed today via a blog post that the latest update to Windows 10 is available to tablets and PCs today. Considered by many to be the Service Pack that fixes a lot of bugs as well as adds the functionality that has been under testing, the November update also brings enhancements to the consumer experience with Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Xbox and more. There’s never been a better time for enterprise and consumer customers to upgrade to Windows 10. Please visit this Windows Blog post to learn more about the November update or hit jump to see some of the updates you can enjoy as part of the package.
Experience improvements in this update include:
- Performance in everyday tasks, such as boot time now nearly 30% faster than Windows 7 on the same device.
- With Cortana, you can use your device’s pen** to just scribble a note in the Cortana Notebook and Cortana will recognize the phone number, email address, and even physical address to help you set reminders. Cortana can also now keep track of your event and movie bookings too, sending you helpful reminders to know where to go and get there on time, plus the option to book and track an Uber**. We’re excited to make Cortana available in Japan, Australia, and Canada and India (in English) with features and experiences customized for each market.
- Microsoft Edge offers improved performance and security, along with tab preview, which allows you to hover over your open tabs and get a preview of what’s on those websites without leaving the page you’re on. Microsoft Edge now syncs your Favorites and Reading list items across devices so you can easily get back to the content you’re interested in most. And, Cortana will now notify you of the best coupons** from your favorite retailers such as Staples, Macys and Best Buy when shopping in Microsoft Edge.
And much more with improvements to Mail, Calendar, Photos, Groove, Xbox, Store, OneNote, Solitaire, and more.
