In a neat new side-feature, you can also group interesting websites together to assist you with projects. “Edge Collections” allows you to save whole web pages if you wish, or even just images or blocks of text from the site you’re looking at if that’s all you want. There’s space to add your own notes, and entire “Collections” can be exported in a Word or Excel-ready format for your own use. We can’t imagine how copyright holders feel about this, but the feature is there anyway.

The Start Menu Has Had A Big Upgrade
Microsoft has had issues when making changes to the Start menu in the past. Every time they attempt to modernize it, they face a strong backlash from people who liked the way it looked and worked in the days of Windows 95 or Windows 98 and never want to move on from that format. Attempting to replace the whole menu with a more touchscreen-friendly interface has backfired on them before, so the new Start menu is a fine compromise between the old and the new.
The first thing you’ll notice about the new Start menu is the striking layout. There’s no getting away from the fact that it looks more than a little like a modern online slots website. We half expect to find a link for the Enchanted Prince slot somewhere within the layout. There aren’t, of course, but there are enough changes here to make Windows 10 feel like the enchanted prince of operating systems. It could even be the case that Microsoft has taken a pinch of inspiration from the design of online slots websites in putting this together; they’re very good at putting customers in touch with content quickly, and that’s precisely what the Start menu is there to do.
