Windows 10 has innovations like Cortana, Microsoft Edge and the Xbox app. Microsoft claims the new OS is faster, more secure and compatible.

Microsoft is also partnering 10 global and 100 local non-profits to make a cash investment of $10 million in support of their missions and to promote awareness of their causes.

"In addition to the global non-profits, starting in September, we will crowdsource nominations for 10 non-profits in each of the following 10 countries: Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, the UK, and the US. The 100 local winners will each receive a cash investment to support their work to upgrade the world," Microsoft said.
