Windows 10 Hidden Tricks

Windows 10 Hidden Tricks
Sometimes I just wanna know stuff and while browsing some recent articles, I came across this one from PC Mag (https://www.pcmag.com/feature/347136/25-hidden-tricks-inside-windows-10/5 ) about some hidden tricks that came with the latest updates to Windows 10.  Some other tricks I found in the article are Shake (a quick way to clear cluttered windows), God Mode (for experienced users only!), Hidden Games and 3D Viewer. Go ahead and read the article, see how many of the hidden options you knew about and try out Shake.

While on the Windows 10 Subject. Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015, with extended support running till January 14, 2020, 2 months from now. Businesses that fail to migrate in time will be saddled with high fees for further support from Microsoft.

This End of Life means no more bug-fixes, security patches or new functionality, making any user - personal or enterprise - significantly more susceptible to malware attacks. Just as it did with Windows XP, Microsoft will continue to offer support for those Windows 7 users still reluctant to upgrade to its Windows 10 OS, but it'll cost you.


However, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from using Windows 7 even after its End of Life. But you should know that using an outdated operating system makes your computer vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
