Microsoft Migrates Windows 10 Technical Documentation to their new Docs Portal

In their continued efforts to modernize the sheer amount of data Microsoft has for their products and services Microsoft is slowly migrating content from their TechNet Library to a new Docs portal located at https://docs.microsoft.com/.

Since the TechNet Library was built for a very different era of devices, which at that time did not include a lot of tablets or mobile handsets, it was never created to adapt its content to those different screen sizes.

Microsoft's Docs site is the new home for Microsoft's vast amounts of technical content and this week the company confirmed that all Windows 10 related content is now over on Docs.

Since Docs has been built using a responsive design, that means the content adapts to any sized screen plus they have enhanced the navigation, search, and filtering capabilities.

According to Nathan Spencer, you will now find the following Windows 10 related content on Docs:

-- Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile

-- Microsoft Edge (and Internet Explorer 11)

-- Windows Store for Business

-- Windows for Education

-- Surface, Surface Hub, and HoloLens

-- Windows Server 2016

In addition to this Windows 10 content you will also find content on:

-- Windows
-- Microsoft Azure
-- Visual Studio
-- Office
-- .NET
-- ASP.NET
-- Dynamics 365
-- Enterprise Mobility + Security
-- Nuget
-- SQL
-- Xamarin

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
