The first release of Windows 10, officially known as the Windows Technical Preview, is designed primarily to make life easier for mouse-and-keyboard aficionados who were turned off by the touch-oriented Windows 8 interface. Here's what you'll find inside.
On systems that have a keyboard and mouse attached, the new Windows 10 Start menu replaces the tile-based Start screen that debuted in Windows 8. A scrolling All Apps list, shown here on the left, lets you find, open, and arrange shortcuts on the miniature Start layout to the right. Here, I'm dragging a shortcut from the All Apps list to the Start layout, which automatically expands in size to accommodate the new item.
