New Delhi: Microsoft is all set to hold a major conference showcasing the future of Windows 10 in New York on Wednesday.

Media circles are abuzz with speculations on the upcoming announcement, but whether it is going to be a Surface PC or a smartphone –is nobody's guess!

Microsoft has tweeted about the time and livestreaming of the event. It wrote:

The conference could also see Microsoft unveil an improved version of its Surface Book laptop or perhaps the first ever model in a new "Surface Phone" range, although such devices aren't expected on the market before 2017.

However, the future of Windows 10 will be the focus of the event. After a major "Anniversary" update this summer, intended to improve the operating system's stability and security, a host of new features are expected for Cortana, Skype, Edge and even Paint.
