Windows 8 （和 8.1）是自Vista甚至是Millennium Edition以来最不受欢迎的Windows版本之一。微软(Microsoft)努力创建一个既适用于新兴触摸屏设备又适用于传统鼠标和键盘的操作系统。
他们最终得到的是一个在这两种情况下都不是最佳的操作系统。尽管如此，尽管如此多的用户决定改用Windows 7 ，但总体而言， (Windows 7)Windows 8仍然是一个相当可靠的操作系统。然而，有了Windows 10，我们终于得到了一个似乎一切都做得很好的操作系统。
如果您仍在使用Windows 8 ，以下是(Windows 8)微软(Microsoft)在Windows 10上做的十件事。
1.再见地铁，你好开始菜单
Windows 8 Metro界面还不错。它有自己强烈的设计感，确实比 Windows 7 看起来更现代、更时尚。Metro紧随(Metro)当时“扁平化”设计的强大趋势。这(Which)也使界面设计师也远离了拟物化(skeuomorphism)。也就是说，在数字界面中模仿现实世界的对象、纹理和功能。
Metro最大的问题不是它看起来的样子。这是糟糕的整合。Windows 8 就像操作系统中的Jekyll和Hyde 。它具有以触摸为中心的Metro端和下面更传统的Windows界面。更糟糕的是，Windows Store应用程序会占据整个屏幕，看起来与普通的Windows应用程序完全不同。
最令人震惊的罪行无疑是取消了随Windows 95引入的开始菜单(Start Menu)。Windows 10 通过开始菜单(Start Menu)和跨所有应用类型的正确集成界面修复了所有这些问题。它感觉和看起来像是一个有凝聚力的系统。
2. 一个可用的网络浏览器
这可能看起来很苛刻，但Internet Explorer最好用于下载Chrome、Firefox或任何浏览器替代品。IE 速度慢，通常不安全，而且由于用户根本不知道自己可以做得更好，因此占据了太大的市场份额。
Windows 10 为我们带来了Microsoft Edge。基于Chromium，这是一款快速、现代且安全的浏览器。虽然它仍然不能提供您可以通过Chrome或FireFox获得的一切，但坚持使用它也没有错。随着时间的推移，我们确信Edge会进一步改进，但只要在 Windows 中内置一个称职的、现代的浏览器就是(Windows)Windows 10的重大胜利。
3. 令人难以置信的视频游戏集成(Video Game Integration)
微软(Microsoft)正在认真对待Windows中的视频游戏。Windows 10 包括一个专注模式，可防止您在游戏时被打断，一个游戏栏可提供高级游戏功能并大大提高了性能。您现在还可以访问Game Pass服务以及从Xbox平台获取的许多其他方面。
Windows 10现在无疑是所有 PC 游戏玩家都应该使用的操作系统。坚持Windows 7或 8 最终是一条牺牲太多的道路。Windows 10上的游戏很好，尽管在发布后的早期情况并非如此。
4. Snap 的完美
Apple 的macOS经常因其界面的简洁和优雅而受到称赞，与Windows 8相比，它就像蒙娜丽莎(Mona Lisa)旁边的幼儿园老师的蜡笔画。虽然Windows 10在许多方面仍与 macOS 处于同一水平，但它明显处于领先地位的一个地方是Windows管理。
我们已经体验过Windows 7和 8 的快速体验，但Windows 10是绝对的体验。以各种配置排列窗口在字面上和比喻上都是轻而易举的。Windows 8 提供了基本的捕捉功能，但Windows 10对其进行了改进，并为您提供了更多的多样性，让您可以完全按照自己喜欢的方式获得工作空间。
5. 虚拟桌面(Desktop)，迟到(Late)但欢迎(Welcome)
Ubuntu Linux和 macOS 多年来一直提供本机虚拟桌面。让您在具有自己应用程序和用途的不同工作区之间快速切换。例如，您可能在一个桌面上进行视频编辑，但在另一个桌面上打开了服务器管理工具。另一方面，Windows 8 几乎无法在一个桌面上获得处理。
Windows 10 打破了这种局面，提供了一个任务视图，您可以在其中轻松创建多个桌面(easily create multiple desktops)并通过单击按钮在它们之间切换。一旦你体验了一个好的虚拟桌面系统，回到像Windows 8这样的系统感觉就像是对生产力的野蛮攻击。
6. 一个值得的任务管理器
Windows 10中的任务管理器(Task Manager)确实比我们多年来在旧版操作系统上使用的许多专用第三方系统监控工具更上一层楼。Windows 10中的任务管理器(Task Manager)提供的有用信息量令人难以置信。
您可以查看哪些应用程序在启动时产生的影响最大，查看几乎每个组件的性能和使用情况，并快速找到任何应用程序或进程以查看您的 PC 引擎盖下发生了什么。
对于大多数人来说，旧版本的任务管理器(Task Manager)是您杀死行为不端的应用程序所需的工具，但现在如果您想了解有关系统的任何信息，它是您的首选
7. 优秀的云集成
Windows 10 是为互联世界而构建的，这种集成实际上是无缝的。从简单的系统重置和重新安装，到能够登录到您的Microsoft帐户并为您准备好所有数据和偏好，Windows 10 是微软(OS Microsoft)承诺通过Windows XP向我们承诺的以互联网为中心的操作系统的实际实现。
8. DirectX 12！
DirectX 12是 PC 游戏玩家应该使用Windows 10的另一个原因。它提供了真正的下一代功能，并且由于新的Xbox控制台，游戏将理所当然地支持这些功能。
更好(Better)的性能、令人惊叹的视觉效果和一长串只有在Windows 10和DX12中才能找到的变革性新技术使(DX12)Windows 8成为了笑话，它现在是过时的DirectX 11功能集。
9. 增压 Windows 搜索
Windows 8 开始通过快速的系统范围搜索功能侵犯 macOS Spotlight 搜索(Spotlight Search)功能，但 Windows 10 将其拨到 er 10。感谢Cortana、快速存储支持和智能搜索索引，您可以选择开始按钮(Start Button)并键入几乎任何内容。您会立即在计算机上或网络上找到它。现在就像呼吸一样容易。
10. 严重的安全性
与Windows 8(Windows 8)相比，Windows 10 确实提升了安全质量。加密更强大，更容易实现。Windows Hello汇集了各种登录方法，例如指纹和面部识别。更不用说许多应用程序现在可以搭载Windows Hello在您的系统上进行自己的身份验证。
Windows 10在这方面受益于像服务一样运行并持续更新。尽管这是一把双刃剑，这要归功于Windows 10更新的历史，这些更新已经使一些Windows 10机器变砖。
十佳！
Windows 10远非完美，但我们可以自信地说，当您比较Windows 8 和Windows 10时，它现在是Windows的最终版本。它快速、安全且使用起来通常很愉快。每次重大更新也可能会变得更好。
Windows 8 Vs Windows 10: 10 Things Microsoft Got Right
Windows 8 (and 8.1) is one of the most disliked versions of Windows since Vista, or perhaps even Millennium Edition. Microsoft struggled to create an operating system that would work for both emerging touch screen devices and the traditional mouse and keyboard.
What they ended up with was an operating system that was less than optimal for either cases.Still, Windows 8 was a pretty solid operating system overall, despite so many users deciding to stick with Windows 7 instead. With Windows 10 however, we finally got an operating system that seems to do everything well.
If you’re still on Windows 8, here are ten of the things that Microsoft got right with Windows 10 in comparison.
1. Goodbye Metro, Hello Start Menu
The Windows 8 Metro interface isn’t all bad. It’s got its own strong design sensibility and really does look more modern and hip than Windows 7. Metro was following the strong trend at the time towards “flat” design. Which also saw interface designers move away from skeuomorphism as well. That is, mimicking real world objects, textures and functionality in a digital interface.
The big problem with Metro wasn’t the way that it looked. It was the poor integration. Windows 8 was like the Jekyll and Hyde of operating systems. It had the touch-centric Metro side and the more traditional Windows interface underneath. Even worse, Windows Store applications would take up the full screen and look nothing like normal Windows apps.
The most egregious crime is most certainly doing away with the Start Menu introduced with Windows 95. Windows 10 fixes all of these problems, with a Start Menu and properly integrated interface across all app types. It feels and looks like one cohesive system.
2. A Usable Web Browser
It might seem harsh, but Internet Explorer is best used to download Chrome, Firefox or really any browser alternative. IE is slow, often insecure and had far too large a market share thanks to users who simply didn’t know they could do better.
Windows 10 has brought us Microsoft Edge. Based on Chromium, this is a fast, modern and secure browser. While it still doesn’t offer everything you can get with Chrome or FireFox, there’s also nothing wrong with simply sticking with it. Over time we’re sure Edge will improve even more, but simply having a competent, modern browser built into Windows is a major victory for Windows 10.
3. Incredible Video Game Integration
Microsoft is taking video gaming in Windows seriously. Windows 10 includes a focus mode to prevent interruptions while you game, a game bar for advanced gaming features and much improved performance. You can now also get access to the Game Pass service and many other aspects taken from the Xbox platform.
Windows 10 is now undoubtedly the operating system all PC gamers should use. Sticking to Windows 7 or 8 is finally a path with too many sacrifices. Gaming on Windows 10 is good, though it wasn’t so in the early days after release.
4. The Perfection Of Snap
Apple’s macOS is often praised for the ease and elegance of its interface and compared to Windows 8, it’s like the Mona Lisa next to a crayon drawing of your kindergarten teacher. While Windows 10 is still not quite at the same level as macOS on many fronts, one place where it’s clearly on top is Windows management.
We already had a taste of snap with Windows 7 and 8, but Windows 10 is the definitive experience. Arranging windows in various configurations is both literally and figuratively a snap. Windows 8 offered basic snapping, but Windows 10 refines it and brings more variety to how you can get your workspace exactly how you like it.
5. Virtual Desktop, Late But Welcome
Ubuntu Linux and macOS have offered native virtual desktops for years. Letting you quickly switch between distinct workspaces with their own applications and purposes. For example, you might be doing video editing on one desktop, but have your server management tools open on another. Windows 8, on the other hand, could barely get a handle on just one desktop.
Windows 10 knocks this out of the park, offering a task view where you can easily create multiple desktops and switch between them with the click of a button. Once you’ve experienced a good virtual desktop system, going back to something like Windows 8 feels like a barbaric attack on productivity.
6. A Worthy Task Manager
The Task Manager in Windows 10 is truly a step above even many of the dedicated third-party system monitoring tools we’ve been using for years on older versions of the OS. The amount of useful information the Task Manager in Windows 10 offers is mind-boggling.
You can see which applications are having the largest impact at startup, see the performance and usage of just about every component, and quickly find any app or process to see what’s up under the hood of your PC.
For most people, older versions of Task Manager was a tool you needed to kill an app that was misbehaving, but now it’s the first place to go if you want to know anything about your system
7. Excellent Cloud Integration
Windows 10 was built for a connected world and that integration is practically seamless. From easy system resets and reinstallations to the ability to log into your Microsoft account and have all of your data and preferences ready for you, Windows 10 is an actual realization of the internet-centric OS Microsoft promised us with Windows XP.
8. DirectX 12!
DirectX 12 is another reason PC gamers should be on Windows 10. It offers truly next-generation features and going ahead, thanks to the new Xbox console, games will support these features as a matter of course.
Better performance, mind-blowing visuals and a long list of transformative new technologies that you can only find with Windows 10 and DX12 makes a mockery of Windows 8 and it’s now archaic DirectX 11 feature set.
9. Supercharged Windows Search
Windows 8 started to encroach a little on the macOS Spotlight Search feature with a quick system-wide search function, but Windows 10 dials it up to, er, 10. Thanks to Cortana, fast storage support and smart search indexing you can select the Start Button and type just about anything. You’ll instantly find it either on your computer or out on the web. It’s as easy as breathing now.
10. Serious Security
WIndows 10 has really pushed the quality of security compared to Windows 8. Encryption is stronger and easier to implement. Windows Hello brings together all sorts of login methods, such as fingerprints and facial recognition as well. Not to mention that many apps can now piggy-back on Windows Hello for their own authentication on your system.
Windows 10 benefits here from being run like a service, with continuous updates. Though that’s a double-edged sword thanks to a history of wonky Windows 10 updates that have bricked a few Windows 10 machines.
Ten Of The Best!
Windows 10 is far from perfect, but we can confidently say that when you compare Windows 8 vs Windows 10, it is now the definitive version of Windows to have. It’s fast, secure and generally pleasant to use. It’s also likely to get better with each major update.
