Windows 10 can be upgraded for free

The Dhaka Times Desk Software maker Microsoft has released an important update for the Windows 10 operating system. It is named 'First Anniversary Update.'

A major update to the Windows 10 operating system prioritized improving existing features rather than adding new features.

The reason for saying the first anniversary is that Microsoft released the Windows 10 operating system on July 29, 2015. At the time, it was said that Windows 7 and 8.1 users would be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free for the next year. That period ended on July 29 this year. For those who have already started using Windows 10, this new update was released for free on August 2.

How to get new benefits:

Microsoft has designed the Windows Ink software for writing or drawing on a touch screen computer. Some improvements have been made to the 'dark theme' of the start menu, notification panel, security system, task bar and above all black design. Digital assistant Cortana will work even if the computer is locked. From now on, the website viewing software will also support extensions like LastPass, Evernote, Ad-Block in the Microsoft Edge browser.

What to do if you want to update:

Windows 10 users can easily update to the new version. If you want, there is a chance to install completely new. There is no need to do anything individually if the automatic update facility is turned on. However, Microsoft plans to gradually roll out the new version to users. So you may not get the update at first. For those who can't stand it, Microsoft has a special arrangement.
