This is the second biggest update to Windows 10 OS since it was first released past year. Now, anyone wanting to move to the software from either Windows 7 or 8 must pay for Windows 10 though some users have found workarounds. Starting today, Microsoft will accept submissions for apps built for PCs, phones and HoloLens that target the Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK. The company has also released new ways for Windows 10 games and Xbox One communities to work together.

You may already be aware of some of the best qualities the new operating system has to offer, but there are even more ways Windows 10 has become user-friendly.
If you don’t, you can still get Windows 10; however, it is no longer free to download.
This week’s update also tweaks several aspects of the Xbox One dashboard, overhauling the console’s Game Collection screen and improving content-sharing functionality, among other changes.
Have you had a chance to use Windows 10’s anniversary update?
The Anniversary Update will appear as, Feature update to Windows 10, version 1607. That’s the case with Windows 10’s Policy Editor, which is going to receive some restrictions in the next major update for Windows 10. Clicking on it will initiate the download and install process.
For those who would rather manually update, you can see if it’s ready to download by going to Start – Settings – Update and security – Check for updates. This new feature replaces the old Xbox voice command with “Hey, Cortana”. Windows Ink also makes Pen-capable apps easier to find with its “Get Pen Apps” feature. The UWP is the next generation of its Windows Runtime platform, and the Windows App store remains.

In addition to this, the update would bring in a new Skype app for Windows 10 Mobile, which is actually the same universal app that comes with Windows 10 Desktop Edition.
