The new Cortana in Windows 10 Anniversary Update
Certainly, the most consistent update of Windows 10 Anniversary Update, the goes first Cortana. Microsoft continues to expand Cortana capabilities and to make him a competitor in a market that is in full development and where the main competitors areSiri (Apple), Google Now (Google), Alexa.
Cortana will also be available on the Windows 10 lock screen (lock screen), so that the user can ask for useful information without having to authenticate with user and password on Windows 10. Another novelty that will be present on the new Cortana is the ability to send and receive notifications and text messages from the mobile phone. A very good thing, because until now only Apple devices could do this. This ability of Cortana will be both for Windows Phone and for Android. So you won't need to have one Windows Phone to receive notifications and text messages (SMS) from your mobile phone on Windows 10.
Cortana will become a good calendar and task manager. With the new capabilities you will be able to ask Cortanta “what did I work on last night in Excel?“, for example. Or, when we receive an email with a task, it will be added directly to the calendar with a date set by the user. If the respective date overlaps with another task, Cortana will ask the user if he wants to reschedule.
With these updates, Microsoft wants to bring Cortana closer to users. Including with those who have not used this service until now.
Interaction and synchronization between Windows 10 and Android or Windows Phone
This ability has not yet been finalized even in the beta preview (Insider Preview) version of the new Windows 10, but Microsoft has announced that the new Cortana Windows 10 will integrate and synchronize with the Cortanta application present on Android and Windows Phone. Disadvantaged will be the owners of iPhone. Apple did not allow Microsoft to develop and offer the Cortana application for iOS devices as well. Of course, there will be a very large number of dissatisfied people. Users of MAC OS X they are quite small in number (at least in Romania), again iPhone owners who have a PC / laptop with Windows 10 at home or in the office, there are many.
The new Cortanta will be able to send all notifications from your Android mobile phone or Windows Phone to Windows 10, text messages and information about battery status the mobile device. For example, if we have a Samsung smartphone synchronized to Windows 10 through Cortanta, a message will be displayed on Windows warning if the smartphone battery has a low energy level. In time, we are sure that more synchronization capabilities will be added between mobile devices and Windows 10.
And that's not all. In order for Microsoft to show that it can copy Apple's model even more, on Windows 10 it will be possible to read and send text messages (SMS) via smartphone.
Windows 10 Anniversary Update – Resources
Important updates also come to the minimum recommended resources and screen resolutions. The new Windows 10 Mobile it will be possible to install OEM on devices with screens of up to 8.99 inches. Currently, the largest screen on which Windows 10 Mobile runs is 7.99 inches.

So that Windows 10 Desktop can be installed on devices with smaller displays. Windows 10 can also be installed on netbooks with screens smaller than 7 inches.
Regarding the minimum RAM memory for installing Windows 10, there will be significant changes here as well. Currently, a minimum of 2GB of RAM is required, but it is very possible to allow even less for the installation of the Windows 10 system.
