Cortana will now help you set up a new Windows 10 PC with your voice
Microsoft is making some significant changes to the way
the setup process works in Windows 10. For years, setting up a Windows
machine has gradually been getting easier thanks to Microsoft’s
simplifications, but with the Windows 10 Creators Update you can now sit
back and use your voice to configure a PC.
New machines that ship with the Windows 10 Creators
Update preinstalled will see Cortana greet them at the beginning of the
setup process. Microsoft’s digital assistant will help Windows 10 users
connect to Wi-Fi networks (with some jokes on the way) and sign into a
Microsoft Account. It’s a surprising experience if you clean install
Windows 10 Creators Update or setup a new PC, and some might not
appreciate Microsoft’s digital assistant blasting out of their speakers.
I clean installed the final version of the Windows 10
Creators Update yesterday, and Cortana successfully configured keyboard
options for me and my Wi-Fi network, all by listening and responding to
me. It’s a neat process, and you can always jump in and use your mouse
and keyboard at any point and mute the digital assistant. Considering
setting up Windows used to be a chore, it’s nice to see Microsoft
continually making this routine a little easier for the less technically
savvy.
