MicrosoftLogoOn August 2nd, Microsoft Windows 10 users will have a new major update to download and explore.  The update will contain the following enhancements:

— Microsoft Edge: The browser will be updated to use less memory and power. There will also be better features for people with disabilities, such as a high-contrast mode and screen readers. And for the first time ever, users can also use biometrics through Windows Hello to authentic their identities on certain websites.

— Xbox One: Buy a game once and play it on a console or Windows 10 computer with shared game progress. Students can also save $300 if they buy an Xbox One and a Surface together before August 14. Strategically, Microsoft has timed its new smaller Xbox One S to launch in August, starting at $300.

— Cortana: The virtual assistant is getting smarter, according to Microsoft, with features that help the program save, recall and synchronize data across devices, including, for the first time, the Xbox.

— Windows Defender: Users will have the ability to schedule automatic and periodic anti-malware scans of their computers, and receive reports about threats.

Users can use Windows 10’s built-in software update to download the new features starting on said date.
