Tech giant Microsoft is about to roll out its latest operating system Windows 10 and the best part of this upgrade is that it will be offered completely for free. Last week, a handful of leaks and screenshots have surfaced on the internet surrounding Windows 10 build 10014 and 10022.
At the start of the week Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will be supporting FIDO or Fast Identity Online Alliance, this service offers password alternatives in order to provide additional and improved security for the new operating system.
Last week, Microsoft announced a new update for the Windows Insider app on the Windows Phone platform. The new update will prevent unauthorized upgrade of the Windows 10 for phones that are unsupported. This means that if the user tries to install the first few previews of the new OS and are using an unsupported device, the installation will not push through.
Select Windows Insiders users were lucky enough to be rewarded with a ticket to the Mobile World Congress 2015 where an exclusive Insider dinner will take place. Users can check the announcement section of their Insider app on the Windows 10 desktop to see if they have won the ticket.
The week closed with an interesting leak surrounding the Windows 10 update. Screenshots of the Windows 10 build 10014 and 10022 have surfaced into the internet.
Although the screenshot did not reveal anything of great significant many analyst said that the 10014 build was facing a lot of technical problems. One of the defects that were pointed out was in account creation, wherein the system only creates Standard accounts even after installing the OS clean, according to Win Beta.
While many are skeptical whether Windows 10 can capitalize especially after the great flop of its predecessor, the Windows 8, a lot of tech analysts are still positive that Microsoft will redeem its former glory with this new update. Microsoft even decided to skip Windows 9 in hopes of breaking the jinx.
In order to develop the Windows 10, Microsoft went straight back into the drawing board in order to create a new OS that will recreate the interface of Windows 7 without compromising on modern features, according to KWKT.
