According to Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, who spoke with Benzinga, it could take months for Microsoft to bring Windows 10 to all users across the world, as the company will need to fix various compatibility issues on systems upgrading to the new operating system.

It’s not clear what kind of improvements the lock screen will receiver.
One of the major differences between Windows 10 and Windows 8/8.1/Windows RT is that Windows 10 includes a Start Menu that covers just a portion of the window rather than your full screen (although you can check a settings box to make it go full-screen if that’s what you want). The featured Start Menu will be based on DirectUI version, that used be shown on the earlier previews of Windows 10. You’ll still be able to run Windows Store apps designed for Windows RT or Windows 8 and 8.1.
Technically, this isn’t the first set of updates to Windows 10 RTM.
Continuing its push to make Windows 10 the operating system that can power all things, Microsoft publicly released Windows 10 for IoT Core on Monday morning, with support for the Raspberry Pi 2 and the Minnowboard Max.

The company has not yet said when it plans on launching this update for Windows 10 devices but it’s believed that the update might come out next month. Knowing this, Mozilla on Tuesday launched Firefox 40, a brand new version of its Web browser with a fresh look and some features that cater to Windows 10 users. It’s hard to imagine that there’s any technical impediment to providing full Windows 10 on these devices, and even if Microsoft felt that was undesirable for some reason, it will later this year be shipping Windows 10 Mobile.
