NEW YORK: Microsoft Corp unveiled its first-ever desktop computer and a free update to its Windows operating system that allows edits using 3D simulations, in hopes of reinvigorating its computing business. 

The Windows 10 Creators Update, coming in early 2017, lets mobile devices scan an object on all sides so it can rotate 360º in a photograph. It also allows for three-dimensional graphics in Microsoft's popular PowerPoint presentation software, and a new Paint 3D application allows edits in 3D simulations.
