The speed transfer of files by relying USB 3.0 on mobile devices will not be so large, but it will be much faster than the current speed. What takes 15 minutes by adopting USB 2.0, it admires microorganism and 10 seconds depending on USB 3.0, USB 3.0 standards have been officially published since August 13 2008, that is, more than 3 years ago, but for all this period, computers have not been available in particular that support these advanced standards. The reason is not in the devices in terms of equipment, but the reason is that this advanced variety of technology is not spreading is the incompatibility of operating systems with USB 3.0 standards, and Microsoft has programmed the USB system into Windows 8 from scratch until it was entered by the introduction of this new technology.

This feature is to adjust and restore the settings and programs of the operating system on the default settings that brought it when you operated it for the first time when you buy it, noting that this feature is ejaculating all the programs and user settings on the operating system and restoring Windows 8 to set the factory, i.e. Windows 8 only without anything else .

Hyper-V:
It is a technique used to create fake devices that work on the operating system that you are installed as if you have two devices and what increases its effective is that it connects to the equipment directly without resorting to the operating system as a mediator.
The two basic benefits for using this technology is that it saves time and money as it uses the equipment in your device instead of buying a new device and installing the operating system on it.
Hyper-V in Windows 8:
In order for this technology efficiently you must have a 64-bit processor and has a Slata feature and is present in the current generation of Intel and AMD processors, and you will also need a 64-bit version of Windows 8, and at least 4GB RAM. And for a better experience when using fake devices, there are two ways to control the system, which are: VM Console (it is a window to see the imaginary system gives you the ability to see the boot process and its dimensions reach 1600x1200) and Remote Desktop Connection. And you have the ability to take pictures of the imaginary device while it works, which enables you to fix the damage in an easier way. As for storing information, you can use regular or fake solid tablets and you can send information between the imaginary device disk and the storage methods in your device. But this technology has limits, as some programs and games may not work efficiently when using fake devices.
