Certification Program

As of now, you can get the Windows 10 preview after registering to the Windows Insider Program (click here). If you are a developer you can develop universal apps for Windows after downloading the “Windows developer tools”. If you are running a developer preview of Windows 10, then you should join the “Windows Hardware Certification Program” and register your machine to help windows learn more about the system for optimized drivers exclusively for your device or maybe there will be a single driver compatible with all the devices. Who knows..?? Windows is full of surprises these days.

There are some exciting features like biometric authentication (Face Recognition and Finger Print Reader), personal assistant “Cortana” and the new web browser “Edge” (to know about Edge Browser “click here “), revamped Windows Store and the return of the start menu.
