Continuum is a feature Microsoft is working on for Windows 10, which allows a user to enter a new touchscreen mode for the operating system. For a lack of a better analogy, think of responsive design where a website resizes and fits to the size of the screen. With Continuum, those of you running Windows 10 on a touch screen device can utilize a full-screen touch-friendly environment.

Thankfully, Microsoft has added an option to manually enable or disable tablet mode (aka Continuum, which is a codename for the feature). In fact, you can play around with tablet mode on your PC by manually enabling the setting. Here’s how:

You will notice that apps are now full screen by default. On top of that, the Start menu is now a Start screen. Of course, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do with this feature, but you can play around with it and see how it feels. You can check out a demonstration of Continuum in the embedded video below (no audio). In our opinion, this is a fantastic feature that allows Windows 10 to adapt to the consumer’s device (regardless of size), rather than the consumer having to adapt to the operating system.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
