Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 10

Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft overhauled the user interface of its ubiquitous operating system which was seen as a way to move towards the more tablet- dominated times.

With its next version of OS lined up for a July 29 release, another overhaul is on its way. From a new default browser to an improved interface; Windows 10 packs in it a lot of new features, one of these being new keyboard shortcuts.
