Windows 10 is packed with useful tools. Some can help you get work done at home or in the office, while others make the daily use of your computer a bit easier.

Did you know about Microsoft OneNote, for example? It is a great way to collect notes from the internet, things that you type in, and even sketches you make with your stylus or fingertip.

Upload your footage to YouTube, and prepare to become a gaming community legend!
