The Start Menu

The start menu in windows 7 was beautifully built and just like the old versions of the windows and the users were pleased with it. After windows 8 launched we experienced a touch-focused interface with big icons and swiping start menu. Change is good but people didn’t really like it. In windows 10 Microsoft gave a well-designed start menu which was a combination of the traditional start menu and the live tiles concept and so the mistake was corrected.

Searching Files And Folders

In windows 7 the search was only able to search the files and folders that are in the system or in the hard disk but with the new Windows 10 you can search for files and folders in the system it also generates searches from the internet. The voice assistant Cortana in the start menu helps the user to do so.
