DON'T MISS: Meet the tiny robot that walks on water, cleans pollution, and never needs to be charged
The Find my device functionality that’s now built into Windows 10 will let you track down a lost or stolen laptop, The Verge reports. Just remember to enable the feature by going to Settings, then Update & Security and then Find my device.
Cortana will let you reply to text messages and missed calls with texts, but there’s a trick involved. You also have to own a Windows Phone smartphone to enable the functionality, as Cortana will use your phone to send the messages.
One other handy feature that’s now built into Windows 10 is the ability to cast media to a device. The option works inside Microsoft Edge and other apps, letting users beam photos, videos and music to a compatible device. It’s similar to using a Chromecast dongle from Google, but you also need to have other devices at home that support DLNA and Miracast streaming.
This Windows 10 update brings over a much-needed feature for Microsoft’s new browser, assuming you use more than one Windows 10 device on a regular basis. Microsoft Edge just got sync support for passwords, favorites and your reading list.
