What are the differences between Windows 7 and Windows 8?
In the event that you have purchased another PC as of late, the odds are that you are currently endeavouring to get to holds with Windows 8. This is the most recent Microsoft working framework which has been introduced on every single new Window PCs since the last piece of 2012.
Windows 8 appears to be very unique from Windows 7. This is on the grounds that it is intended to likewise work with touchscreen PCs and tablets.
The main differences:
- When you sign in to Windows 8, the primary screen you see is the new 'Begin Screen', otherwise called 'Metro'. Despite everything it has the recognizable 'Work area' too yet, we'll go to that in a moment.
- Rather than Icons, the new Start screen has 'Tiles'. You click these to open your 'Applications' (short for Applications). On the off chance that you can't locate a specific tile, complete a correct mouse click in the space at the base of the screen and snap All Apps.
- In Windows 8 we can utilize applications and projects. Applications open full screen in Metro; programs open on the Desktop similarly as they did in Windows 7.
- Extra applications can be downloaded from the Windows Store.
- Windows 8 accompanies an antivirus program called 'Safeguard'.
- Applications don't need to be shut by clicking a X in the corner – rather, simply press the Windows key on your console to come back to the Start Screen. Alternatively, an application can be shut by dragging it down from the highest point of the screen with your mouse, with the left catch held down – or with your finger in the event that you are utilizing a touchscreen.
- Windows 8 doesn't have a Start Menu. Rather, it has a 'Charms Bar' (see right) which is the place you go to close down and utilize different devices, for example, 'Hunt'.
- While in Windows 7 you may have utilized Windows Live Mail for your email, Windows 8 has another 'Mail' application.
Rather than having separate contacts for email, Skype and long-range informal communication e.g. Facebook, you will discover every one of your contacts together in the new 'Individuals' application.
- As said above, Windows 8 does even now have a Desktop like Windows 7. To discover this, tap the Desktop tile. Conventional projects, for example, Microsoft Word open on the work area in a typical way and still must be shut utilizing the X in the upper right-hand corner.
- Windows 8 incorporates two renditions of Internet Explorer 10, one which opens from a tile on the Start screen and furthermore one which looks more like form 9 and opens from a symbol on the Desktop. Projects can even now be stuck to the taskbar by right clicking your mouse on a symbol in the taskbar and picking Pin this program to taskbar.
