2. Advanced Security

Businesses need to be more wary about the risks of cybercrime as technology is advancing quickly, and so are the cyber criminals.

With Windows 10, you'll find there have been several advancements in security and identity protection features, which include the Secure Boot. This feature requires any program that launches as the operating system starts up must be signed off by both Microsoft and the hardware manufacturer.

In addition to this, Windows 10 includes other security features such as, Device Guard, Microsoft Passport and Windows Hello.

The operating system comes complete with built-in antivirus, Windows Defender:

“Windows Defender Antivirus delivers comprehensive, ongoing and real-time protection against software threats like viruses, malware and spyware across email, apps, the cloud and the web.”

3. Improved Search

Gone are the days of scrolling through your folders trying to find the right report you need for your meeting. Now, simply type the name or a keyword of your document, such as ‘May Report 2019’, into the search box on your taskbar.

You can also ‘pick up where you left off’ by clicking on Cortana. Here you’ll see your recently accessed documents and be able to access your recent activity.

4. Updates that suits you

The operating system automatically checks for updates, so you don’t have to, allowing fewer restarts when using your PC. You can also activate your ‘active hours’ in your update & security settings, so your PC will never interrupt you whilst you’re working.

5. Ease of Use

There are substantial improvements in functionality and usability with Windows 10 that allow you to customise the simplified design to suit how you work, creating a greater user experience.
