Intro: Microsoft’s new Windows 10 operating system has already been downloaded by millions of people, so we are already getting a good idea of its many strengths. Cortana, virtual desktops, the new start menu… the list goes on. But there are some useful new tools that can easily go unnoticed without some digging. And we are here to show you the five best. Disk Manager Settings / System / Storage It is now easier than ever to see how you are using your hard drive space. By going to Settings, System, Storage you can choose the disc you want to analyze and, with a single touch or click, it’s possible to see how much free space each folder and file takes up. You can even uninstall applications and delete files directly from here, providing are an account administrator. Integrated video capture Within almost any window can start capturing on screen footage. It's as easy as pressing the Windows, Alt and R keys – then the recording will start immediately. Sometimes the system will ask you to confirm if the window is a game, as the Xbox application tool is designed specifically for games – this you can start at any time by holding Windows and G to bring up the Xbox widget and picking record. Unfortunately, at the moment, you cannot record from the browser or the desktop with this tool. Battery Monitor Settings / System / Battery Saving / Battery use If you aren’t yet sure that Windows 10 is designed to run on desktop, laptops, and tablets, then this may convince you - the ability to monitor battery usage. Going to Settings / System / Battery Save / Battery Use allows you to view data from the past week, two days, and 24 hours while also showing you how much of this power consumption came from the system, screen, and Wi-Fi. It even shows how much power each application uses, both when running and when open in the background. If something is too resource heavy, you can cancel it straight from his menu too. There is even a battery saving mode that you can manually activate at any time, or set to activate when your power dips below a certain threshold. Command Line Of course, the command line is not new, but Windows 10 has greatly improved it with new functionality. First there are the new editing options that let you copy and paste commands like a text editor. Also, if you do a right click on "Properties" there are multiple configuration options, font style, size, color and even the opacity of the command line, can all be changed here. Remember that the next time you want to delete a file, as now you can really make it feel like you are messing with the Matrix. Wi-Fi Sensor Settings / Network and Internet / manage Wi-Fi configuration / Sensor Wi-Fi Sometimes it can be a pain when you have a friend visiting and you have to find your Wi-Fi password. But the Wi-Fi Sensor intends to make this task simple, allowing all of your contacts to connect to the network through your device. Wi-Fi Sensor will look at your Outlook contacts, Skype, and Facebook, and automatically connect your Windows 10 using friends.
