Using Windows 10 to go from texting on Skype to texting on the phone is a neat ability, but Microsoft has yet to reveal just when this new Skype messaging experience will become available. SKU’s are actually the diverse version of Windows 10 like Windows Enterprise, Windows Pro and Windows Home.

According to an Intel spokesperson, the chip manufacturer is now assisting Microsoft with solving the battery drain issue.
In terms of Windows 10 updates, Microsoft mentioned that this version will be launched differently from others.
Keep in mind though that this update is only for non-Lumia devices, the application that hasn’t been updated for quite a while. Your computer’s hardware must be compatible.
The Store has been built from the ground up for Windows 10 providing for scalability, and the ability to support a single Store for apps, plus a wider variety of content types: apps, games, music, video, and TV (and more content types in the future).
When the upgrade is ready, you will receive a notification.
Thanks for your coverage on Windows 10. The news comes from Windows Central’s Daniel Rubino who cites “multiple sources” as having confirmed the details.
Will you take the plunge and upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as possible, or hang back and see if any major problems are reported? Given that you can now buy a decently-specified complete PC for £150 from dabs.com, that’s clearly a non-starter.
Phone and Messaging could allow Windows users to make phone calls and send text messages directly from their Windows 10 device to a Windows 10 smartphone, for example.
The free upgrade is available for a year, until 26 July 2016. Whether or not this is worth doing will really come down to how fast your computer is and if it can cope with the new operating system.
You can still download the update if you don’t reserve a copy, but this will simply involve more legwork.

It’s a rough rule, as some new mobile chips run at speeds lower than 2GHz, but can boost to higher speeds when they need to.
