At an event January 21, Microsoft announced and demonstrated a healthy list of new features that will be included in Windows 10. One of the highlights is the addition of Cortana. For those unfamiliar, Cortana is a voice-activated personal assistant. Think of it as google voice, but for Windows. You can use it to get weather forecasts, set reminders, tell you jokes, send email, find files, search the Internet and so on.






1) To activate "Hey, Cortana," click in the search box located in the Taskbar.
    2) When the Cortana window comes up, click in the top-left corner and select Settings from the menu.
    3) The fourth option in the list of Settings will enable Cortana to respond when you call it by voice. Slide the switch to the "On" position.


    You can now go about using your computer as you normally would, and whenever you need Cortana to perform a task, start by saying, "Hey, Cortana," followed by your command.
