Windows 10
Windows 10 launched on July 29, 2015, as a successor to Microsoft's previous operating system, Windows 8.1. Now, it's soon to be replaced by Windows 11, following its End of Life status.
Initially, Microsoft offered the OS as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users throughout the first year of its release, and it famously marked a return to a more traditional Start menu, just as Windows 8.1 shifted from its full-screen Windows 8 variant.
It also stood as an introduction to Cortana, Microsoft's digital assistant named after a popular artificial intelligence in the Xbox Halo game series. Now, Copilot offers much of the same and even more, but the foundations were laid with Windows 10 and Windows Phone.
