The new Windows is Windows 10. Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems. Unveiled on September 30, 2014, it is scheduled to be released in 2015, and is currently in public beta testing. For its first year of availability, Windows 10 will be offered at no charge for consumer users of Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. Windows 10 unlocks new experiences for customers to work, play and connect. Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide. Some of these devices have 4 inch screens – some have 80 inch screens – and some don’t have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily use touch/pen, others mouse/keyboard, others controller/gesture – and some devices can switch between input types.
We’re not talking about one UI to rule them all – we’re talking about one product family, with a tailored experience for each device.

New features you can test drive once you become an Insider:
Start menu: The familiar Start menu is back, but it brings with it a new customizable space for your favorite apps and Live Tiles.
Everything runs in a window: Apps from the Windows
Store now open in the same format that desktop apps do and can be
resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing for
maximize, minimize, and close with a click.
Snap enhancements: You can now have four apps
snapped on the same screen with a new quadrant layout. Windows will also
show other apps and programs running for additional snapping and even
make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open
apps.
New task view button: There’s a new task-view button
on the taskbar for quick switching between open files and quick access
to any desktops you create.
Multiple desktops: Create desktops for different
purposes and projects and switch between these desktops easily and pick
up where you left off on each desktop.
Find files faster: File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.
