The new build of Windows 10, called Build 10125, was leaked online this week, and it has some slight improvements along with some visual changes. The leaked build is now publicly available in Neowin. Because the leaked build is only a few numbers away from the previously released Build 10122, there is not much difference between the two.
Aside from its new Windows 10 icons, Microsoft also updated its browser, Edge. In the updated version of the browser, the settings are expected to act differently, displaying the settings pages in two windowpanes, the Frequently Accessed Settings and Advanced Settings.
So let's compare Windows 10 from its predecessor Windows 8. First, in Windows 8 using a mouse and keyboard would be worthless. But in Windows 10, this little problem has been dealt with. The Start Menu has returned, with Live Tiles thus making things accessible to the user.
The fancy touch-screen Windows 8 where the Windows Store apps are in fullscreen has been changed in Windows 10. It can already run in a window mode, making some apps work a lot easier. Windows 10 is also desktop friendly.
Along with Windows 10 Start Menu is the new addition of multiple windows that are open at the same time. Meaning, you can see all the windows in one monitor, giving you time to multi-task. Also, a new feature, by hitting Alt Tab, Task View will pop up where the windows will switch and you can manage the existing virtual desktops.
The additional features does not end there. Windows 10 has a newly improved Command Prompt. The ability to copy and paste is now possible and also supports hot-keys and a host of new options.
Windows 10 has a lot to offer, but be careful when installing it as bugs are yet to be fixed before its official release.
