Windows
Microsoft Windows is the desktop operating system that has captured the bulk of the market for decades thanks to its common availability across a beacon of computers brought out by various manufacturers. With a strong foundation headed by Bill Gates and features such as the famous Start Menu, Windows is in a good position to capitalize on progressive web apps and whatever other technological advancements the future demands from a desktop OS.
The Windows series of OSs are developed by Microsoft and are the most popular desktop OSs in the world. While Windows versions differ, each one has come with a graphical user interface and a desktop so users can view files and folders. Part of what makes these Windows OSs so popular is the wide variety of each version. For example, with Windows 10, you can buy Home, Pro, Education, and Enterprise versions. The idea is to offer something for people’s computers at home and the working professionals while coming in at different costs: naturally, the edition with the most features would be more expensive.
Windows OSs are very popular to use for businesses and companies because of their “Group Policies” that allow administrators to manage lots of different users, the user’s permissions and the overall computer’s configuration.
Here you can find thousands of tutorials for Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Shell, and Windows Phone.
Alternative desktop operating systems: ChromeOS, Mac OS X, Linux.
