More than a single operating system, Windows 10 has become a family. In particular, there are versions with long-term support for which Microsoft undertakes to provide security updates for at least 5 years from the date of release. Since the Thin Client devices have a long life, this is the version we use in Praim.<\/p>\n

After about 3 years of waiting, Microsoft has announced the release of a new version <\/strong>with extended support for the Windows 10 operating system and Praim is the first company to announce support for this new version<\/strong> (for more information, contact us<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first news is about the name: the successor of Windows 2016 LTSB (Long Term Servicing Branching) is called Windows 10 2019 LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel)<\/strong>. The terms of support remain unchanged<\/strong>: 5 years from the release, as regards the support for all, and 10 years for the extended support. The license will also change, so it will not be possible to upgrade from the 2016 version without buying a new one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the release of the new Praim thin clients with this version (which will take place in April), let’s see what are the features introduced<\/strong> in Windows 10 2019 LTSC compared to the 2016 LTSB version.<\/p>\n

Windows Hello<\/h3>\n

Windows Hello is Microsoft’s proposal for the personal access to the computer<\/strong> using the face, the fingerprint or a PIN. This mode can be used both at device startup and in the lock screen. Windows Hello does not only work with local users, you can also access the user linked to Microsoft accounts<\/strong>. From this version it will be possible to use for example a security key to access: a physical device that can be used instead of a username and password to log in.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Shared experiences<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With this version it will be easy to share documents, photos, website links<\/strong> and much more with nearby devices, via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. To use the\u00a0Nearby sharing<\/em>\u00a0feature<\/strong>, both PCs must have the Bluetooth and must be running Windows 10 (version 1803 or later). Activating this feature will therefore make it very easy to share a document or image.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Timeline<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Timeline<\/em> is a new feature of the Windows 10 update<\/strong> (April 2018). The functionality icon is located directly on the taskbar and improves the overview of applications currently running. It can also display past activities. By default, the timeline shows a cross-section of the activities you were working on earlier in the day or on a specific date that has already passed. The scroll bar lets you know what time the activities shown refer to. You can therefore directly resume an application that has been opened in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capture and annotate<\/span><\/h3>\n

With this version the application that takes care of capturing screen images<\/strong> has been renewed. It is possible, for example, to capture a portion of the screen in a rectangular, free form, or capture the entire screen. After capturing an area of the screen, the image is added to the clipboard and can then be immediately pasted into another app. The app also allows you to annotate, save or share the captured image.\u00a0Capture and annotate<\/em>\u00a0provides some tools to add information to images<\/strong>, such as pen, pencil and highlighter. The possibility of using a graphics tablet is integrated directly into the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clipboard Cloud<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the new version of Windows it is possible to have the notes shared between different devices through the Cloud<\/strong>. You can also add items that are often used to always keep inside the clipboard. The functionality is activated using the Windows key + V.<\/p>\n

Customizable themes<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can customize the Windows theme<\/strong> by changing the base theme with different colors. From this version there will be a wide range of options for customizing the desktop background and changing the main color for Start, taskbar and other items.<\/p>\n

Some of the new features are exclusive for the Enterprise version:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Remote Desktop with Biometrics<\/h3>\n

The most interesting feature for a pure Thin Client use is to be able to login to a remote desktop using biometric data<\/strong>, for example thanks to face recognition.<\/p>\n

The requirements to exploit this feature are as follows:<\/p>\n
