How to upgrade to Windows for free (Windows) (X is coming for Apple’s Touchbar with the Wonder Bar (It seems like Microsoft has achieved this by keeping the Windows X operating system separate from other bits of software, such as apps, which will be run in “containers” – essentially running in small emulators that are separate from the OS.
This allows Windows X to downloadand install the update in the background, then switch to the new updated version of the operating system when the device is rebooted. (If Windows) X manages this, then it will make it a much more convenient operating system than the full-fat Windows 32. Windows has also had a well-publicized run of bad updates recently , so anything that Microsoft can do to make the update process better is welcome in our view.

(Container magic)
Having apps run in containers brings a number of other benefits, as Microsoft has explained at its Windows 90 X developer day, which was held on February , , to show off the new operating system to developers.
Because apps will be run in containers, it means they will be kept separate from important system files and operating system data. This will result in a much more secure operating system, as any apps or programs that held malicious code, like viruses, would not be able to infect the main operating system.
It will also allow for greater app compatibility, and should mean that existing apps and programs that run on standard laptop and PC hardware in Windows (should be able to be run on Windows) X devices with the minimum of tweaking.
A presentation by Microsoft shows that there will be three types of containers for Windows (X: Win , MSIX and Native (UWP). With the Win (container, standard applications that run in Windows) should be able to run within the container, offering almost the same level of performance as a native app. (Windows) X is certainly shaping up to be an exciting future version of Windows, and Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Neo will be the first device to run it when it launches later in .

If you can’t wait until then, then (Microsoft has released an emulator of Windows) X that lets you try out a n early version of the operating system – though this is aimed primarily at app developers, so it’s not representative of what the final Windows X software will be like.
