Microsoft has finally released to the public the Windows 10 Anniversary Update following tests that started back in December. Now, you can have access to a lot of new UI improvements and features. One of the new features includes Windows Ink, which is a dedicated hub for 2-in-1 devices that will let you doodle or write on screenshots using just your fingers. Extension support comes to Microsoft Edge with apps like LastPass, AdBlock, Evernote, and 1Password getting extensions on the browser in the coming months. Cortana now also works even on the lock screen. And there are new UI changes to things like the Start menu, notification center, and taskbar. The update should show up on Windows Update so if you’ve been waiting for this, keep an eye out for that.
