New Features in Windows 10

Start Menu

Microsoft designed a new start menu in Windows 10 that has an "App" style appearance. While the Start Menu has changed, users can still Pin Apps and Programs much like they could in Windows 7. The view looks very similar to the Windows 8 App view, and can be viewed in full screen mode.

See how the Start Menu has changed.
