Microsoft is gearing up to release its 'unified interface' Windows 10 platform during the month of May, but according to Joe Belfiore, Windows phones and tablets will not be receiving the update in that particular month. According to The Verge, the executive states:
"Our phone builds have not been as far along as our PC builds. We're adapting the phone experiences later than we're adding the PC experiences. There are devices and features that will come not on launch date, but following it. From the device view, our main focus is to kick off the Windows 10 launch wave with a great launch on the PC. You should expect that the other devices — phone, HoloLens, Xbox, Surface Hub — will be staggered, probably not on the same date as the PC."
Microsoft has not given an exact release date as to when the operating system will be available as an update for Windows Phone owners, but it looks like smartphone and tablet owners might not be able to experience the new platform for at least a few months. Additionally, not all features will be available to users when the upcoming operating system is officially launched, so there is a high chance that Microsoft starts to add those features through software updates.
Microsoft's Redstone update will also be a part of Windows 10 and will be the closing chapter for delivering all the features and fixes that would not be present in the operating system initially. Redstone will be divided in to two parts. The first update will be released in July 2016, followed by the second one, in October, 2016.
One of the biggest perks of installing Windows 10 for gamers will be inclusion of Microsoft's next generation API, DirectX 12. DirectX 12 promises to boost gaming performance in upcoming titles, while adding realistic visual elements.
