Install Windows 10 Tech Preview from DVD or Flash drive easily and safely

 

Remember, only the Technical Preview Version of Windows 10 is released now, NOT the Final version.It will take some more time to release the Windows 10 final. Official Microsoft circles says that it will be released by the half of the next year. Since its like a half boiled egg there is possibility of experiencing some app crashes,bugs and even loss of data.It is unlikely but have a slight possibility.


Microsoft recommend not to use this Preview version for those who haven't yet manually changed BIOS settings. The reason why I am saying this is because if anything goes wrong you have to deal with it.
This is for Tech Enthusiasts, IT Pros and Geeks who are craving to test and experience the Next Windows version well before its Official Final Release. If you are a IT enthusiast and want to Install Windows 10 Technical Preview on your system, make sure you have a Backup of the files and follow the Tutorial.

Fortunately the Preview versions released prior to the Windows 8 and Windows 7 final versions worked flawlessly without much hassle.Though that doesn't mean Windows 10 Preview Version will also be the same. So far, the initial release of Windows 10 has received good reviews, and hopefully it will be what every user wants !

 Announcement Of Windows 10-The Future Operating  System !

So you are an another Windows User !?

            
We have been using Windows since we meet the computer right? Then a number of Windows versions came up and became a part of our daily life. And we get used to love Windows (really?). The Good news for us is the launch of the entirely New Windows 10. As Microsoft continues to provide its support to the previous versions namely Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 and Vista, its the time to launch their next product.

 All of us thought that the most anticipated next Version of Windows will be named as Windows 9. But that assumption went wrong however.In September 30 2014 Microsoft came up with their new Product and named it Windows 10 !

 We are all using the previous versions of Windows 10 like Windows 8/8.1,Windows 7 and Windows Vista (Still Windows XP ?) and we love and like the features in those. And we have to admit that the current Version of Windows which we are using have at least some bad marks. Microsoft has a habit of fixing these bad marks in their next versions about to come. This time also they have nailed it!

 The Windows 8's Tile feature, the absence of the Start Button are the things which were severely criticized by the Windows users and they wanted to fix that by Microsoft. At last they came up with the Windows 10 which includes the goods of the previous versions of
and have purposely neglected the bad features.Trivially, it can be also said as Windows 10 is the combination of Windows 7 and Windows 8.

 Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. It unlocks new experiences for the user to work, play and connect. Windows 10 embodies what their customers (both consumers and enterprises) demand and what they will deliver. Microsoft says that Windows 10 will run across all set of devices ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) , to servers in enterprise data centers worldwide. No matter what it has got a 3 inch screen or 90 inch screen or have got no screen at all , Windows 10 is gonna work in those devices. "Windows 10 is going to deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time.The Windows 10 will be the most comprehensive platform ever" says Microsoft.

Microsoft had announced the Windows Insider Program, Windows 10 Technical Preview Program where Technology enthusiasts, PC experts, and IT Professionals can get access to a technical preview of Windows 10 for desktops and laptops. In the very soon they will also going to release the the preview versions for enterprises and management tools.

 Let's straight dive into the Hidden and Most Exciting Features of Windows 10.

 Start Menu

The Most criticized thing about the Windows 8/8.1 is the absence Start Menu by default. You are lucky if  you are sticking with the Windows 7. I say so because Microsoft have gave back that useful feature in the Windows 10.The notable thing is that the Start Menu can be resized as your wish. And the Start menu contains Live Tiles which can also be resized as we do in Windows 8/8.1.

New Command Prompt

The Windows 10 came up with a new polished version of the Command Prompt which is having some new features which its previous versions doesn't have. It is updated to support basic text selections, copy, cut and paste. However its not yet over. There is a lot more features in it which can be accessed by Right-Clicking the Command Prompt window. These are all useful for an advanced user( may not for a casual user ! ) .

Virtual Desktop

Microsoft officially called it "Task View". It is a feature that you may have already seen in Linux and Mac operating systems, But now it is on Windows also .This feature can be accessed by the Task view icon just
near Start menu. They also introduced a shortcut to access this feature which is Windows key + Tab. This shortcut will bring up the Expose-like interface where you can create and/or switch between multiple desktops.

Cortana Feature is (likely to be) coming ! 

Cortana is a voice assistance program which likely to do many tasks according to the voice commands.Unfortunately this feature is not available in the Tech Preview Version.
There is a great chance of including this in the coming full fledged Windows 10.Anyway it would be it would be nice for those who wants to interact with their computer just by using voice commands.

Modern Apps now floats 

In Windows 8/8.1 Microsoft introduced Modern apps which has some cool features by its own. Still some may feel some kind of annoyance when it only run in full screen mode. Somewhat that problem has now been solved. In Windows 10 you can run  Modern apps right  in your Desktop without going full screen.

Notifications Revamped!

Microsoft gave a notable importance to the notifications.Earlier notifications in Windows are sticking on the bottom right corner of the screen in the form of speech bubbles.In Windows 10 we can see the Notifications/Toasts coming at the top right corner of the screen in the form of Rectangular boxes with icons of the respective notifications.

Now in Windows 10 we can pin the Recycle Bin like any other app.Though you cannot just drag the recycle bin to the Task bar to pin it but can do so by going to Favorite folder and Right click on the Recycle bin icon. From there you can pin it to either Start menu or Task bar.

Home Folder

The developers has added some notable graphical changes in the Windows 10.The New Home icon is one of them.Yeah they have added a Home directory which will show the items you selected as Favorite and the recently used folders.This will acts as the default launch page when you open new window.
