The latest Windows version brings back a couple of changes to Windows 8 such as the Start menu and improvements in the way apps are displayed. Multitasking enhancements were also added to appeal more to customers that use touchscreen devices and PCs.

Windows 10 also preserved several Windows 8 Metro touches with new usability enhancements that will likely invite desktop and enterprise users back to Windows.

Microsoft warns Windows 10 still has a few bugs because it's still being developed. Joe Belfiore of Microsoft operating systems promises they'll update the OS quickly and get it ready for release in 2015.
