Recent builds of Windows 10 now include an updated (out-of-box-experience) which adds a few extra settings and gives the whole experience a new design. Setting up your PC now matches that of Windows Phone, where you can setup Cortana and more.

We’ve embedded a short video below detailing the new features. You can create a new Microsoft account (without an ID too if you’re wondering), or sign in with your current one. From the OOBE, you can now also enable Cortana, something which wasn’t possible before.

Microsoft is further aligning the desktop / phone experience in their latest builds, which is excellent news. What do you think of this updated OOBE? Let us know in the comments below!

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.
