Windows 10 receives new releases on a regular basis, which are available to consumers at no additional cost

Windows 10 Pro Overview Windows 10 is a series of personal computer operating systems produced by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.

One of the most important features of Windows 10 is support for universal apps, an extension of the Metro-style apps first introduced in Windows 8

Devices in corporate environments may receive these updates at a slower rate, or may be on the Long Term Support roadmap, which receives only critical updates, such as security patches, over a ten-year extended support period.

Universal apps can be designed to run across multiple Microsoft product families with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub, and Mixed Reality

The Windows user interface has been revised to allow for transitions between a mouse-centric interface and a touchscreen-optimized interface based on available input devices, especially on 2-in-1 PCs, both interfaces feature a revamped Start menu that includes traditional Windows 7 elements.
