Windows 10 21H2
After the failure of Windows 8, Microsoft has returned with a new operating system that intends to be the best ever released. We're talking about Windows 10 for PC, a platform designed to work on all kinds of devices, from PCs to video consoles, as well as smartphones and tablets. And now you can download Windows 10 very easily.
It seems that the guys from Redmond have learned from their past mistakes by combining the best of Windows 7 and the few things that can be saved from Windows 8 in one system. Thus, with a much more modern interface, it returns the Start menu and retains classic tiles and compatibility with touchscreen devices. He also introduces us to Cortana for desktop computers and introduces Microsoft Edge as a great alternative to a web browser.

Windows 7 vs Windows 10. Which one is better?
We are not going to ignite a discussion about which operating system is better. Each of them has its own positive and negative aspects, but the truth is that Windows 7 is getting old, so it is always recommended to leave the old version behind and upgrade to the new version. Why? Well, mainly for reasons of support and security updates, Windows 7 will stop receiving them in the near future. In addition, this is the only way to make the most of all the new features that we've already told you about, such as Cortana on the desktop or Microsoft Edge.
How do I download the Windows 10 Anniversary Update?
At this point, it's too late to upgrade your operating system to Windows 10 for PC. You had until July 29, 2016 to do this for free. To do this, all you had to do was click on the annoying window that appeared in the system tray from time to time, offering us the opportunity to get Windows 10. Previously, you had to make sure that your Windows 7 or 8.1 was fully updated and ready for the process, which could take from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the computer.
Now that you have missed such an important date, you will have to resort to downloading the ISO file of this operating system, which you can find on the official Microsoft website and on this page. You will have to burn it to a DVD (it weighs about 8 GB) or a USB stick. But remember, it's no longer free, so you'll need a valid and legal product key.
