For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.

A: That depends on her skill level and dedication to art. The intuos pro is basically the best you can get for under $600, but if she's not that experienced and won't use it much, I'd recommend something like a Wacom Bamboo. PS- I'm 16, and I started doing digital art when I was 10. I had a Bamboo when I was her age, and just got an Intuos now. Anyways, I'm really happy with it now :-)

A: It will work with any USBC to USB adapter, most likely. The cable it comes with is a pretty standard USB to USB-C cable.If you want to use it with Bluetooth, be sure to update the drivers; that took care of the rather significant lagginess I was experiencing at first. Now I use it mostly wireless.
