-The awesomely named GodMode brings up a special menu that puts lots of settings together in one place. To enable it, create a new folder anywhere on your root drive and rename it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. +The awesomely named GodMode brings up a special menu that puts lots of settings together in one place.

 +Clean Installs
 +
 +
 +Head to Settings | Updates & Security | Recovery and you'll see a new option under More recovery options: 
 +
 +"Learn how to start fresh with a clean installation of Windows." 
 +
 +This link takes you to an online Microsoft help page that lets you download a tool to aid in clean installs.

 +Print to PDF
 +
 +
 +You can finally print a document (or rather, save it) as PDF without using a third-party utility using Microsoft's Print to PDF. 
 +
 +
 +This makes it much easier to save and distribute documents that aren't easily modified. Another long overdue feature makes it in under the radar.

 +Keyboard shortcuts
 +Here are some keyboard shortcuts you may want to be aware of -- ones that will really help your daily workflow:

 +  * Windows Key-Ctrl-C (Cortana listening)
 +  * Windows Key-S (Daily Glance for weather, news, sports)

 +Use Maps offline
 +The new Maps app lets you work offline (Remember those old Microsoft Maps programs?); click Settings > 
 +
 +Download or Update Maps, and then select the continent and country you want.

 +Find the original Control Panel (and other goodies)
 +
 +
 +The new Settings panel is easy to navigate and makes more sense than the crufty old Control Panel, 
 +
 +but you'll still need the latter to access some deeper options in the system. It's easy to call up, even though it's hidden; 
 +
 +just right click on the Start button on the bottom left of the screen and choose it from the pop-up menu, or type Control Panel 
 +
 +in the Search bar at the bottom left in the taskbar. When you right-click the Start button, you'll see all kinds of useful things there,
 +
 +such as Computer Management and Disk Management; 
 +
 +for what it's worth, those options bring you right back to the familiar Windows 7-style apps in each case.

 +Windows 10's new Game Mode lets you boost performance by reallocating system resources toward whatever you're playing. In fact, there's a whole new Gaming panel in Settings that gives you quick control of the Game DVR and the Game Bar (triggered with Windows key-G). You can also broadcast games to your audience with sub-second latency using Beam.
