#WHY SWITCH FROM MAC TO PC WINDOWS 10#
It’s hard to imagine that Windows 10 won’t pick up adoption from some users of older versions of the operating system - especially while upgrades are free. Windows 10 looks more modern than Windows 7, and it avoids some of the missteps of Windows 8, while adding features like Cortana. The return of the Start button alone should be a cause for celebration among Windows 8 users.
I want to be clear: Windows devotees will probably come to very different conclusions about Windows 10. And some of the new things in Windows, like Edge, are underwhelming. The special needs of Windows - like worrying about antivirus software. The fact that the app ecosystem is far behind Mac. Sure, you can get by and do your job and have fun with Windows 10, but there are little annoyances along the way that add up. And the Start key is a blessing.īut ultimately, these things are not enough to make me want to ditch my Mac and switch to Windows 10 after running the new Microsoft OS on a sleek two-in-one HP Spectre x360 for the past month. Annotating Web pages with Microsoft’s new Edge browser is a terrific idea. For instance, the Cortana personal digital assistant is a nice addition to the desktop computing experience.
I’ve found that there are indeed things to like about Windows 10.
