Windows 10 Mini TIPS (349) 4 Points to be aware of from the transition from Windows 7 to 10 | Mynavi News Mynavi News Mynavi

"Windows 10 Mini Tips" uses the latest Windows 10 environment at the time of each creation.

The mainstream support period has already ended on January 13, 2015, and the extension support period is until January 14, 2020, which is less than one year.Active Windows 7 users will soon start thinking about the transition to Windows 10.So, to those who are thinking about replacement, I will re -introduce the four large (some maniacs) of Windows 7 and Windows 10.

"Tile" is added to the start menu

The Windows OS follows the basic UI of the previous version, so there are not many confused scenes.But the answer is not the same.In the figure below, the start menu of Windows 7/10, but Windows 10 has a list of installed applications (apps) and the display area of the square icon "tile".

In the Windows 7 menu [All Programs], the application (shortcut file of the tree) was displayed, but in Windows 10, it was listed.By pining the frequently used apps, you can quickly start the application according to the application by pining it into a tile or taskbar.

Search box that calls apps and settings

It is faster to use a search box for apps that are used frequently.Although it is not much different between Windows 7 and Windows 10, the search for the index information referenced at the time of search has expanded the search range and the setting items are included in the search results.

This can only be counted as one of the advantages that can avoid complicated operations such as "Open Control Panel" or "Run SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe and launch a system property dialog".

SSD can be operated stably

Windows 10 supports new hardware, including SSDs, as an improvement from Windows 7.For example, even if you are using Windows 7, you will often replace the main storage with SSD for the purpose of improving performance.

However, in Windows 7, the TRIM command of SSD (command to optimize SSD: deleting unnecessary data and making new data can be written), so there is a separate tool to operate according to your needs.I need it.In Windows 10, settings that can automatically optimize SSD at regular intervals are provided as standard.

Microsoft account is effectively required

Windows 7 does not have a mechanism to link to the Microsoft account, and is a single operation of the local account.When using Windows Live, the use of a Microsoft account (former Windows Live ID) is used, but it is not a big problem because the Windows Live brand itself has been abolished.

On the other hand, Windows 10 requires a Microsoft account in many situations, such as ONEDRIVE and Office 365, as well as UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps obtained via Microsoft Store.This difference depends on the user, but you can select Windows 10 according to your own style, as you can select local accounts.
