Windows 10 version history

Windows 10 is an operating system developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an 'operating system as a service' that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace, or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft's Windows and Devices Group, argued that the goal of this model was to reduce fragmentation across the Windows platform.^[1]

Codename "Threshold 1"

Windows 10, codenamed "Threshold 1", is the first release of Windows 10. It carries the build number 10.0.10240. While the build itself doesn't contain the version number, Microsoft retroactively named this version 1507,^[2] standing for July 2015 and matching the versioning scheme for later updates. "Threshold 1" was announced on an event on September 30, 2014 with a first preview following the day after. The final release was made available to Windows Insiders on July 15, 2015, followed by a public release on July 29, 2015 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

The Threshold 1 release of Windows 10 is only supported for users of the Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB).^[2]

Features new to "Threshold 1"

Action Center

The Action Center is a notification service first introduced in Windows Phone 8.1 that allows for push notification from Windows Store and non-Windows Store apps, it also hosts settings for location, "Tablet mode", VPN, "Quiet hours", and allows users to open Microsoft OneNote.^[3][4][5]

Command Line

Windows 10 brings improvements to the system's command-line interface. Unlike in previous versions of Windows NT, the Win32 console windows can now be resized without any restrictions. It can be made to cover the full screen by pressing the Alt+↵ Enter combination on keyboard. Microsoft also enabled the use of standard keyboard shortcuts, such as those for cut, copy, and paste, within the console. Word wrapping and keyboard shortcuts to move the caret, select and manipulate text have become available.^[6] Other features such as word wrap and transparency were also included. The user has the option to disable the new features and return to the legacy console if they wish.^[6]

Cortana

Cortana is an intelligent personal assistant that first launched with Windows Phone 8.1,^[7] Cortana integrates with the Bing search engine for web searches, Bing SmartSearch for file and setting queries,^[8] save reminders,^[9][10] notify users of coming events, and open application programmes.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is a new web browser,^[11] it replaces Internet Explorer 11 though Internet Explorer is still present in Windows 10 for compatibility reasons. Unlike Internet Explorer which uses Trident Microsoft Edge uses EdgeHTML which is a forked version of Trident.^[12]

Start menu

Windows 10 introduced the old Windows 7-style Start menu back due to negative criticism of Windows 8's supposed touch-centric design, while Windows 10's Start menu still preserves Windows 8.1's live tiles, the Start menu can switch between Windows 7's "Start menu" and Windows 8.1's "Start screen" modes through a toggle in the Settings app.^[13]

Task View

Task View is a task switcher and virtual desktop system that allows a user to quickly locate an open window, quickly hide all windows and show the desktop, and to manage windows across multiple monitors or virtual desktops.^[14]
