=== Continuum ===
Continuum is the blanket title for a group of features on Windows 10 that are designed to enable smoother transitions between a default interface mode designed for use with a [[keyboard]] and [[mouse]], and a interface designed for [[touchscreen]] environments, especially on hybrid devices such as [[laplet]]s. Enabling "Tablet mode" switches the primary interface to a full screen version of the Start menu, and opens all applications in a maximized view by default. The taskbar is also modified, adding a Back button next to the Start button, and by default, hiding buttons for opened and pinned applications. Task View is used as the primary means of switching programs. Windows can prompt to switch between these two modes, or automatically do so, if certain events occur, such as plugging in a keyboard or mouse to a tablet, switching a laplet to its laptop state, or vice versa.<ref name="verge-continuum">{{cite web |title=Watch how Windows 10 works with touch interfaces |url=http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/30/6873963/windows-10-continuum-touch-interface |website=[[The Verge]] |accessdate=September 30, 2014 |publisher=[[Vox Media]]}}</ref><ref name=thurrotcom-tablet1>{{cite web|title=Windows 10 Technical Preview 2: Configure Tablet Mode|url=https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/3116/windows-10-technical-preview-2-configure-tablet-mode|website=Thurrott.com|accessdate=July 16, 2015}}</ref><ref name=thurrotcom-tablet2>{{cite web|title=Windows 10 Technical Preview 2: Continuum and Tablet Mode|url=https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/2240/windows-10-technical-preview-2-continuum-and-tablet-mode|website=Thurrott.com|accessdate=July 16, 2015}}</ref><ref name=winbeta-w10touch>{{cite web|last1=Bowden|first1=Zack|title=Windows 10: The tablet experience is better than ever (with video)|url=http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-10-tablet-experience-better-ever-video|website=WinBeta|accessdate=July 16, 2015}}</ref>
