[Coleman Technologies Blog](https://colemantechnologies.com/blog/categories/blog) [Technology](https://colemantechnologies.com/blog/categories/technology) [Coleman Technologies Admin](https://colemantechnologies.com/blog/blogger/darren-coleman) Monday, 31 August 2020 ## Windows 10 In Windows 10, Microsoft has built a complete and secure operating system. Users can do about anything they’d like inside of Windows 10. The platform was initially built to support three levels of devices, from smartphones to other mobile productivity machines, to your traditional productivity machines, your PCs. After Microsoft pulled the plug on their smartphone division, the subsequent changes they’ve made to the OS have been with the PC user in mind. Microsoft had a solid strategy to get their Windows 10 [software](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/blog/why-is-it-super-important-to-keep-your-software-updated/ "software") on as many devices as possible: they gave it away. For a year they provided any user that had Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 the ability to upgrade for free. Since then, it has been available as other versions of Windows have been, for digital download. ## Windows-as-a-Service Since the software giant has retired support for the hugely-popular Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 was kind of a flop, Windows 10 becomes the [development](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/blog/lessons-to-learn-from-legos-it-development/ "development") priority for Microsoft. They seem to be extremely invested in the OS, hinting that it might very well be the last Windows title ever developed. Microsoft has made many huge changes to Windows 10 over the past five years and looks to continue to develop the software more as a service than a product. Like many other software, Windows--or, Windows-as-a-Service, if you will--will continue to be one of the leading names in computing. It just won’t be replacing Windows 10 the way Windows 10 replaced Windows 8.1. In fact, Microsoft is now offering Azure-hosted Windows 10/Office 365 platforms for one monthly fee. In doing so it is changing the way that people access, and pay for their computing.
