What is the new Google Essentials app that will come pre-installed on Windows computers?
Google is keen on expanding its apps and services to other operating systems. Over the past few years, we have seen various signs of this kind of movement, such as the launch of the Google Play Store on Windows, but now the situation has taken a bigger step in this direction with the introduction of Google Essentials for Windows computers.
Google Essentials is offered as a suite of applications and services from Google for computers running Microsoft's operating system. The benefit of Google Essentials is that it provides access to this entire range of services immediately because it will be pre-installed on computers.
This app for PC was announced on the official Google blog . Although it’s a short statement, it does briefly explain what Google Essentials means for PCs. Of course, it’s still just an app that will be installed on newly released PCs.
Google has listed the computers that will integrate this new app, and these are the computers that come from HP. The laptop families are: Envy, Pavilion, OMEN, Spectre, and Victus. Additionally, the app will soon be coming to all HP OmniBook computers.
Another point is that all devices with Google Essentials will have direct access to Play Games so you can enjoy Android games on your PC.
As for services, it is known that you will also be able to access Google Photos, Google Messages, Google Docs, Google Drive, and Google Calendar. Naturally, Google points out that with this new desktop app, it will be easier to discover new Google content, apps, and services.
We'll have to wait and see how Google Essentials works and its scope. For now, it's an interesting proposition for all users looking for direct access to Google apps on their computers.
