To begin with, we have to update ourselves.Many of you may not have said update yet.Just go to Start> Configuration> Update and Security and press the option to check for updates.If after this process you are not sure, it is best to go to Advanced Options and check the history of updates.It is normal to arrive along This week, but if you don't want to wait, there are some alternatives.


How to install the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

If we do not want to wait until it reaches us unattended through the different system updates, we can use the Windows 10 media creator.It is a tool that will allow us to download Windows 10 and its latest updates and create a USB that starts automatically to install from scratch or update a system.


When the program is downloaded and executed, the first thing that asks us is what we want to do, offering the possibility of updating to the latest version of Windows 10 or updating that system.We will choose the second option and we can have our update quickly and simple, without losing our files and programs and having everything as we leave it.Anyway, it is important to always make a backup of the programs and files important to us.

The download and update process is relatively fast , but, as always, it is better not to do it when we are in a hurry.The positive part is that we can continue working with the computer while downloading and creating the installation medium.


More security with Windows Hello


One of the great novelties will be the arrival of Windows Hello .Thanks to this system, Microsoft will use the computer camera to identify us through the face .This implies We say goodbye to passwords to log in and some applications.Logically it has a limitation on all those desktop computers that do not have a webcam.

Also you will have to see how accurate the system is , depending on the number of face points you take into consideration, to see if it is enough to put a photo in front of the camera to unlock or if you can make a brother of the user that looks like enough.


To this security improvement is added a new option of Windows Defender, Limited Periodic Scanning , which will scan our system for malware when using a third-party antivirus software.It would be a complementary option that would take action when the computer is not working and has periods of inactivity.If our main security program is Windows Defender, it is already in charge of doing it on a regular basis.


Main news of Windows 10 after the update


Windows 10 Anniversary Update: these are the improvements proposed by Microsoft


But perhaps more important for the average user is a more organized start menu , where now it will not be necessary to search for applications within All Applications , such as It happened before, but they would simply appear in alphabetical order.In addition, the Off or Close session options now appear better organized.


The same goes for the Notifications panel , in which they will appear organized and separated by the application that is informing us of some novelty, without mixing, as it happened before.


Windows 10 Anniversary Update: these are the improvements proposed by Microsoft


Cortana continues to be increasingly present in Windows 10 .The Microsoft assistant arrives with improvements in contextual conversation, so that we can ask the questions naturally, just as we would ask them to a person instead of a machine.Now it cannot be deactivated, but we will still be able to configure it through the notebook icon that shows us when Cortana appears.


Last but not least, Microsoft Edge , the new Windows browser already incorporates extensions and synchronizes favorites and passwords in the cloud, so that it becomes a browser much more subtle than it was until now.


Other important options, but that will be less used by users, are the new Windows Ink , which will only be active if we have any digital pencil that we have synchronized with the PC, appearing the icon of a pencil in the lower right with all its functions.The same thing happens with the convergence with Xbox One that will allow to share games between console and PC or turn your console into a complete computer.


Windows Linux Subsystem, bash reaches Windows 10


Linux users are in luck, because with Windows 10 one of the first things we are going to find is bash , the Linux command console that now also works on Windows .It is a very powerful tool, but focused on the most advanced users, who will be the ones who know how to get the most out of it to explore Windows 10 directories, access remote servers or install common packages thanks to full access to the manager APT.


It is only the first step of this integration of the new Windows Linux Subsystem (WLS), which is even able to run a Linux desktop as a Unity without problems.In addition, Microsoft is working on new functionalities such as the use of apt and apt-get for installations, updates or package tests.All this will be completed in the future with the arrival of basic functionalities for NodeJS/npm, Python or Perl languages ​​and command lines such as Vim, Emacs, Git and SSH.


Windows 10 Anniversary Update: these are the improvements proposed by Microsoft


Bash is disabled by default and, to start it up, it is necessary to go to the option of Configuration> Update and Security> For programmers and here activate the Programmer Mode.Then, we just have to go to the Control Panel> Programs and Features> Activate or Deactivate Windows features where it will allow you to activate Windows Linux Subsystem to have your Bash console.
