Smart Ink, uses artificial intelligence automatically, making the design of squares even better. With Windows Find my Pen, users will be able to find their pen if they have lost it.

Photos and Videos

In Fall Creators Update, Windows Photos has been redesigned, so users can tell stories with photos, videos, 3D and ink.

OneDrive On Demand Files

Users can store their creations in OneDrive OnDemand files by accessing their cloud files as they do in any other file on their computer without having to store them locally.

The Fall Creators Update will have a new, enhanced Game Mode that will allow gamers to use the full power of editing any device as if it were an Xbox console with the help of the new button on the Gamebar.
