Global tech giant Microsoft Corp. will launch a new generation of Windows this summer, a senior company executive said Wednesday.

During the Windows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) summit in Shenzhen, China, Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Windows, Microsoft, said Windows 10 will launch in 190 countries and 111 languages around the world this summer. 

Myerson also announced a diverse collection of strategic partnerships and initiatives with leading global companies across China, including Lenovo, Tencent and Qihu 360.

Windows 10 delivers new capabilities that will enable hardware and device manufacturers to create technology, devices and experiences for customers around the world, including "Windows Hello," the company said.

Unveiled on stage for the first time via a Lenovo ThinkPad YOGA 15, Windows Hello provides instant access to a person's device through biometric authentication using their face, iris or fingerprint to unlock their device and their services, it said.

The WinHEC summit took place March 18-19.
