The left-hand column displays small icons to identify the currently signed-in user and access File Explorer, system settings, and power controls. A description of each small icon can be seen by hovering the mouse over the icon. If desired, this column can be expanded by clicking the menu icon at the top of the column. The middle column lists a series of links, with the user's most used applications at the top, and a sorted list of installed applications below that. The right-hand column includes application live tiles that display up-to-date information from applications and allow the user to fully launch those applications. The application live tile feature was made popular by Windows 8; however, Windows 8 did not offer the blended experience of a Start menu together with application live tiles. Windows 10 offers the best of both worlds in its Start menu. Jump lists are reintroduced with Windows 10 to identify what content was recently opened by an application, or what content is automatically linked to the menu item. The left-hand column of the Start menu displays an arrow next to the Start menu item if the item has a jump list associated with it. Clicking the arrow will open the jump list for that item. If a user clicks an item on the jump list, the content or listed application is opened. If nothing is selected and the user clicks elsewhere, the jump list disappears

A single device can have several addresses, with each address allowing access to a particular device feature or component. Interrupt request (IRQ) lines—A mechanism for devices to request time from the CPU. Memory address ranges—Address ranges in system memory that are dedicated to the device.
What are the four main resources a hardware component might use? Describe each.
Microsoft Edge is designed to perform much faster than Internet Explorer and many competing third-party browsers. Microsoft Edge presents a new way to surf and interact with the web. When a user signs in to a device running Windows 10 using a Microsoft account, data such as favorite sites and stored web content can be synchronized between all of the user's Windows 10 devices. The stored web content is known as a reading list, and can be viewed without a live Internet connection at the user's convenience. Web content can be cluttered with links, ads, and other formatting that make it hard to read some web text. Microsoft Edge allows the user to enable a reading view that can remove that visual clutter, improving the user's ability to focus on key content. To enrich the browsing experience, Microsoft Edge also allows the user to add notes, highlights, and free-form writing on a webpage. The annotated webpage can be saved for future reference or shared with others. Browsing the web has become a richer experience with Microsoft Edge, and finding information

Workgroup Model When a computer is first connected to a network, it typically is configured as a member of a workgroup. A workgroup is a loosely knit collection of peer computers on a network where no computer has control or superior role to any other computer. The peers share resources with each other over the network. This can be useful for a small number of computers in a typical home or small business network. Domain Model The domain model is a client/server strategy that allows central administrative management of its members. A domain is a collection of computers and users that are identified by a common security database. The database is stored on one or more dedicated servers called domain controllers (DCs). Computers that are part of the domain can reference the domain database and read the user and computer accounts contained within.
What are the major differences between workgroup and domain models?

With power management the latest hardware power standards can consume less power than ever before. This power economy can translate into laptops that can run longer on battery power and buildings full of computers that will reduce companies' energy bills significantly. Power management features include the Fast Startup feature of Windows 10 captures the state of the computer's operating system and drivers, saving them to a file on the local hard drive before the computer enters a low-power hibernation mode. When the computer is woken up, the hibernation image is loaded faster than starting the operating system from scratch. If a device running Windows 10 supports hibernation, this feature can be enabled primarily as a software feature. Power management features include the Modern Standby feature allows a device to sleep but continue to perform basic tasks like downloading Windows updates, checking for new email for the user, or notifying users when someone is trying to reach them through an online chat request. This feature is specific to computer hardware that supports Modern Standby and would be used as a shopping criterion during the device acquisition stage.

If the first octet is zero, the remaining octets identify local machines on the same network as the computer sending data. The special IPv4 address 0.0.0.0 is used in routing logic to represent "all other computers." • A first octet value of 127 identifies a destination that is local to the computer sending data. The address in this range that is commonly seen is 127.0.0.1, or the loopback address. Data sent to the loopback address returns to the computer that sent it and does not appear on the actual network. • A first octet identifying a Class D address represents a multicast address. Computers that belong to the same multicast group have the same multicast address assigned to them. Data sent to that multicast address attempts to deliver copies of the data to all multicast members with the same address. Class D addresses are not used to identify a single host computer with a unique IPv4 address. • A first octet identifying a Class E address is reserved for future use and special purposes. Class E addresses are not used to identify a single host computer with a unique IPv address. The special IPv4 address 255.255.255.255 is used as a broadcast address that rep- resents the destination "all computers in this network."
What are the special cases and consideration in the IPv4 class-based system?
