TOP FEATURES OF WINDOWS 8
HERE ARE BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS TO SOME TOP FEATURES WINDOWS 8:
ENHANCED BOOT TIME:
ENHANCED BOOT TIME:
THE load and boot up speed has improved significantly over Windows� predecessors. This is partly due to the better resource allocations to applications and the system. When compared to Windows 7 desktop CPU, Windows 8 has an even speedier boot time.
It is slightly more faster than windows 7 operating system....
IMPROVED SEARCH:
IN this version of windows microsoft removed its search box usually present at the bottom of the start menu..But that doesn�t mean that there�s no search box in windows 8.The only thing you have to do is is to type anything, and a search box will appear from the right and give you the results. The search capability is even stronger this time, displaying all the matching apps and files instantaneously.
WINDOWS TO GO:
THIS is one feature that offers the most convenience to users."WINDOWS TO GO"
Windows To Go allows users to make a copy of their OS complete with their settings, wallpapers, files and even apps, into a "USB thumb drive". Plugged it into another computer with Windows 8 already installed, and you can boot up the PC and make it look exactly alike the OS you normally use, with all settings intact.The potential for such a feature is high and possibilities, many. For one, a virus-infected and crashed system could be revived by simply plugging in the USB thumbdrive with your last saved settings, inclusive of all your files, apps, etc. Users don�t have to worry about losing the ability to work on their projects just because their PC is down; they can always rely on plugging in that thumbdrive into another Windows 8-installed PC. Another is that users may simply bring back work from the office with that thumbdrive rather than a much bulkier laptop.
