Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system is set to receive an upgrade that focuses on the user interface, Microsoft Edge, and blue light reduction. The preview build 15002 has been received by testers and has received positive reviews.

The so-called "Project Neon" received a UI upgrade. The new upgrade looks similar to Windows 7 Aero. It comes with a minimal look and feel from the Windows Phone and Android design, Forbes reported.

The focus was put on animations, consistency, and depth. The Acrylic component of the Windows 10 upgrade makes the background, sidebar, and navigation blur within an app. Aside from that, the smoothness of app transition was improved to give a flawless Windows experience.

Microsoft Edge also received its major boost. Although it is not as famous as Chrome or Firefox, Edge has been upgraded to meet the demands of browser users. There is a tab preview feature, which allows a user to take a peek at other tabs without leaving the page currently open.

Microsoft Edge's tab pages are automatically saved and restored, so users can resume with their previous activity once they get back online. There is a jump list in Microsoft Edge which can launch InPrivate mode or a new window.

There is the Blue Light Reduction feature. Similar to the night mode settings of Apple and Android devices, devices running on Windows 10 will now reduce bright blue light emitted from the screen at night to promote proper sleep. Exposure to blue light has been found to activate hormones in the body which fight sleepiness, The Verge reported.

Flash will also be blocked automatically if it is from an untrusted source. But they can still be played by simply clicking "Run." The DPI settings also received an update to ease the resolution change. Other upgrades have to do with Microsoft Wallet.
