Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system developed and released by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.

It was officially unveiled in September 2014 following a brief demo at Build 2014.

The first version of the operating system entered a public beta testing process in October, leading up to its consumer release on July 29, 2015.

Windows 7 (codenamed Vienna, formerly Blackcomb) is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft.

It is a part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.

Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and became generally available on October 22, 2009, less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista.

Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time.

Windows XP (stylized as Windowsxp and codenamed Whistler) is a personal computer operating system that was produced by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.

It was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and broadly released for retail sale on October 25, 2001.

Development of Windows XP began in the late 1990s as "Neptune", an operating system built on the Windows NT kernel which was intended specifically for mainstream consumer use—an updated version of Windows 2000 was also originally planned for the business market.

However, in January 2000, both projects were shelved in favor of a single OS codenamed "Whistler", which would serve as a single OS platform for both consumer and business markets.

Windows XP was a major advance from the MS-DOS based versions of Windows in security, stability and efficiency due to its use of Windows NT underpinnings.

It introduced a significantly redesigned graphical user interface and was the first version of Windows to use product activation in an effort to reduce its copyright infringement.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.

Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor, Windows 7, in 2009.

It was announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012.

The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.

Games for Windows is a discontinued brand owned by Microsoft and introduced in 2006 to coincide with the release of the Windows Vista operating system.

The brand itself represents a standardized technical certification program and online service for Windows games, bringing a measure of regulation to the PC game market in much the same way that console manufacturers regulate their platforms.

The branding program was open to both first-party and third-party publishers.
