MSI's embedded systems support Windows 10

At the consumer release in July 2015, Microsoft announced that, during its first year of availability, Windows 10 would be made available free of charge to existing users of eligible editions of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. In response to the market demand, MSI announced its list of embedded systems that support Windows 10, to fulfill clients’ application demand that run across multiple devices for better interconnection and integration.

Windows 10 introduces what Microsoft described as a 'universal' application architecture with some new features, such as: dynamic transitions between mouse-oriented interface and a touchscreen-optimised interface based on available input devices; integrated support for fingerprint and face recognition login; new security features for enterprise environments; flexible alignment of the Start menu; Microsoft’s clever digital assistant, Cortana; the brand-new Edge browser; the Task View virtual desktops; smarter Action Center with notifications archived; and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
