About Windows-10
The latest version of Windows was released in August 2016:
- 2016 - Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which can be used to upgrade any existing version of Windows 10.
All major computer operating systems (OS) undergo regular upgrades and new versions. Sometimes these are a significant visual overhaul, while others concentrate more on the behind-the-scenes aspect of the OS. In terms of Microsoft Windows, Windows 8 was one of the most radical updates to the User Interface (UI) and introduced a number of new features, for both desktop and mobile versions of Windows. However, it was not met with universal approval, as it was perceived that it was two separate operating systems (desktop and mobile) bolted together and not satisfying each environment completely.

With Windows 10, a lot of the problems with Windows 8 were addressed: the familiar Start menu was reinstated to return to a similar UI to earlier versions of Windows; there was a greater consolidation between desktop and mobile devices running Windows 10, and the operation of apps was standardized so that it is similar for the new Windows apps and also the more traditional ones. In a sense, this was a case of going back one step in order to go forwards two steps and Windows 10 has succeeded in creating a familiar environment, coupled with a range of innovative and useful features.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update
The intention for Windows 10 has always been to produce incremental updates, rather than waiting a period of time for the next major update. This is the reason why it is unlikely that there will be a Windows 11: instead, there will be regular online updates to Windows 10. The Windows 10 Anniversary Update marks the first anniversary of the release of the software. It contains a number of improvements and refinements but, in keeping with the Windows 10 ethos, it is an incremental update rather than a major new operating system. The Anniversary Update is delivered online through the Windows Update function in the Settings app. A registered version of Windows 10 has to be installed in order for the Anniversary Update to be downloaded. Some of the new features in the update include an improved Start menu and improvements to the digital assistant, Cortana.Don't forget:
The functionality of the Anniversary Update is generally the same as for the original Windows 10 and it will, in general, be referred to as Windows 10 throughout the book.
