Windows 10. A new OS released today. Microsoft have released some amazing Operating Systems over the years, and I have to say, this is the best. As I've only had around 2 hours of experience with it, I can't say much, but it's good.
I would have to say the new start menu is beautiful, it is fast, and flexible. You can customize it, you can change it's size, and over all, it's not laggy at all like the famous Windows 8.1..
Although, I would have to say for the task bar, it's pretty small. The logos you see are extremely small, and the actual colour of the taskbar is a rather dull black. The new logos put into this new OS are extremely modern looking, and fits with the whole 'futuristic' look to Windows 10.
Cortana. Cortana is a 'Ask it anything, and it will respond' type of program which is by default put into Windows 10, which is very useful for anything between homework, or rocket science. You can even chat to her, which is even better! But, the only problems I have with Cortana is that it's pretty laggy with results, but I guess it has to look all over the internet for them!
Microsoft Edge. The browser that replaced Internet Explorer. Not my type of brower, with the whole futuristic and modern look, but I'd much prefer it to the famous Internet Exploder. (Hah) I myself am not a person for compact and sharp edges with anything, I more like things rounded off and smooth. Although the browser does look nice!
Windows 10 is all about speed, and I have to say they've made a brilliant job of it! Press a button, it pops right up. Also, Microsoft have removed the laggy and painfully annoying 'Swipe menu', where you swipe your mouse to the bottom right of the screen, and a menu comes up. This is a great decision from Microsoft, and I'm glad they removed it.
The login screen is very much like 8.1 but as you may know if you press a button it will come up with a different page where you login, this part is a bit more.. modern, and cosy. (If you know what I mean.) And I rather like it!

So, here I am again! I have some bad things about Windows 10 this time. After using Windows 10 for two months, I have noticed a bunch of bugs. One of them would be where all built-in apps and the taskbar, and cortana wouldn't open. This really bugged me. (Hah! My puns are the best!)
Secondly, and I have just witnessed it today, that if you hover over your taskbar, (with your mouse, not you!) then you get a little square. Usually that will go when you move your mouse away, but no. It stays there, and the name of the application pops up. It stays there until you hover over something else. That's annoying..
Also, I would like to mention the worst bug. Sometimes, if you have computer-heavy apps such as Skype, PhotoShop or Cinema4D open, your computer will freeze, and the only way to stop it, is to restart. Which of course means losing your work!

I've been using Windows 10 for a while now, and I haven't witnessed any bugs at all for the past couple months. Almost everything works great. The only thing that still annoys me is Cortana, she takes a long time to load up, fast internet or not.
I have recently upgraded my Computer so I guess Windows 10 is faster, but I believe it's well optimized.
So there are the bugs I have witnessed, if you have seen any others, please do comment below and I will add them to this list. Thanks!

Here I am adding some comments that people have said.
AdamCB96: "You cannot turn Cortana off. You can disable it but it is never really "off." You will still see it running in task manager. You can End Task it but Cortana automatically turns back on.
Microsoft is obviously spying for marketing and possibly other dirty purposes. This causes a security risk for government officials and citizens alike (their confidential files, bank account passwords, etc.).
Other than that big controversal subject, Windows 10 is pretty great. There is a bug that randomly kills the sound on games. It's annoying to lose sound and then you get blown up by a creeper. :(
Also there is a "feature" that suposedly enhances your microphone. For me it messes up my voice in chat for any program (Steam chat, Skype, etc.). I made a video about that if anyone has the same issue.
I apologize ahead of time for my amatuer videos. These are not FirstOrders' videosw, these are AdamCB96's videos.

Well, this just about concludes my review. I would extremely recommend Windows 10 to anyone. It is by far the best OS I've seen them make. Bye!
