Frequently asked questions
- What changed in Microsoft Windows 10?
- Compared with Windows 8.1, Microsoft Windows 10 added 493 new emoji and redrew 928 existing designs.
- How is a redesign told apart from a re-release?
- By the artwork itself. Every image is stored with a checksum of its bytes, so a design counts as redrawn only when those bytes differ from Windows 8.1. A version number cannot tell you this — most releases ship the same drawings unchanged.
