Legal users of Windows 10, can get the free 'Creators' update on April 11. The biggest change is in the Paint tool which lets lay users create 3D art and printable objects
Microsoft has announced a major update to Windows 10—the Windows 10 Creators Update—rolling out around the world on April 11.
The update provides some new tools. These include:
3D for Everyone: With the new Paint 3D app in the Creators Update, it’s simple to create 3D objects from scratch, easily changing colors, stamping textures from drop down menus. You can capture, create and share three dimensional images. Or you can take an existing 2D picture and quickly turn it into a 3D work of art.
A new web resource, Remix3D.com offers ready-made 3D art in a growing online library for your use. You can also share your own creation with this creative community.
Even more usefully, you can design 3D objects and even print them if you have access to a 3D printer
Game Broadcasting is now easy Interactive with the new Beam too. You can now play, interact, share and enjoy across Windows 10 and Xbox One. With Beam, Windows 10 PC and Xbox One users can live-stream their game play and interact with community in real-time – with no extra hardware or software.
The Windows 10 browser, Microsoft Edge, successor to the long running Internet Explorr, is now faster and safer with some new browsing features advanced tab management to help you find, organize and open tabs you’ve set aside without leaving the page you’re on. You can now discover and get e-books in Windows Store and read them in Microsoft Edge across all of Windows 10 devices. And, it is the first browser that let's you play Netflix movies and TV shows in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
Additional Security and Privacy Protections: Window 10 now offers a new service to help you monitor your security: the Windows Defender Security Centre. It offers a single dashboard display so you can control your security options from one place – everything from anti-virus, network and firewall protection; to assessing your device performance and health; to security controls for your apps and browser; to family safety options. The Device Health Advisor gives you information on the vital signs of your device, and new settings give you more control over app installation.
More information on the Windows 10 Creators Update is available in a blog from Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft’s Windows and Devices Group.
