START SCREEN

Just a glance on the start screen gives you the feel about the changes done to the start screen.

Lets see the changes made by the Redmont giant in detail:

• The size : The start screen in windows 10 is a fusion of the start screen found on windows 7&8. In windows 7 we had all the shortcuts,the jump lists and other stuff! That same stuff can be found on the windows 10 start screen.Coming to the windows 8 part of the start screen we still have those live tiles that show vital info. at a glance.All in all the start screen addresses to all those who complained about the full screen start screen of Windows 8 which was focused on the touch devices.Though Microsoft has still given an option to have the full start screen.

•  Live Tiles : The live tiles in windows 10 are pretty much same as that in windows 8.1 but still there are a few changes worth noting:   

Firstly,immediately on opening the start screen you can see   

the changed of live tiles.Who doesn't likes a great UI?

 

Secondly,you get that option of resizing the tiles as in windows 8.1 in upto four options provided i.e small,medium,large and wide.

• Most Used : The addition of this feature quickly shows you a list of most used apps and also show a small arrow to the right that shows you the webpages or files or the things which you have recently done using that app.

Below the Most used apps list you get some blank space that gets filled as soon as you install a new app.

 

Going further down there are four standard options File explorer,settings,Power and All apps buttons.

 

The list of all apps is now vertically scrollable similar to the windows phone version as opposed to the horizontal scrolling in the windows 8.1.
