Hey there, Windows 10 users! Are you looking to spice up your computing experience and try out some cool features? Well, you’re in luck because today we’re going to talk about 10 awesome things you can do with Windows 10.
1. Virtual Desktops: Have you ever felt overwhelmed with all your open windows cluttering up your desktop? With Windows 10, you can create virtual desktops to keep things organized. Simply click on the Task View button on your taskbar and click on “New desktop” to create a new workspace. You can switch between different desktops with just a click of a button. Don’t see the Task View button? Simply right click on your taskbar in a blank area and select ‘Show Task View button’. In case you don’t know, the taskbar is the narrow strip of icons, usually located at the bottom of the screen. It displays which windows are currently open, the Start button, the time and more.
2. Cortana: Cortana is Microsoft’s virtual assistant that can help you with everything from setting reminders to searching the web. Simply say “Hey Cortana” and ask her a question or give her a command. You can even use Cortana to control your smart home devices.
3. Dark mode: If you’re tired of the bright white backgrounds of Windows, you can switch to dark mode for a more dramatic look. Just go to Settings > Personalization > Colors and select the dark option under the “Choose your default app mode” section.
4. Timeline: With Timeline, you can easily jump back to a previous point in time and see what you were working on. Just click on the Task View button and scroll down to see your timeline of activities, including documents, websites, and more.
5. Game Mode: If you’re a gamer, you’ll love Game Mode, which optimizes your PC’s performance for gaming. Just press Windows key + G to open the Game Bar and click on the settings icon to enable Game Mode.
6. Snap Assist: With Snap Assist, you can quickly and easily snap windows to the sides of your screen for multitasking. Simply drag a window to the edge of the screen, and it will automatically snap into place. You can also use the Windows key + left or right arrow keys to snap windows.
7. Focus Assist: Need to concentrate on a task without distractions? Use Focus Assist to silence notifications and alerts while you work. Go to Settings > System > Focus Assist to customize your settings.
8. Windows Ink: If you have a touch-enabled device, Windows Ink allows you to draw, scribble, and annotate directly on your screen. Just press the Windows key + W to open Windows Ink Workspace.
9. Night Light: Reduce eye strain and improve your sleep quality by enabling Night Light, which filters out blue light from your screen. Go to Settings > System > Display to adjust your Night Light settings.
10. Phone Link app: With the Phone Link app, you can easily access photos, messages, and notifications from your Android phone on your Windows 10 PC. Simply check out the Phone Link program that is already on your computer (comes with Windows 10) and follow the instructions.
