What is Windows 10 S and how is it different from regular Windows 10?

Plus, it has been designed for use on less efficient hardware than the full fledged Windows 10.

Apps

This is one major area of difference.

Windows 10 S is restricted to running apps downloadable from the Windows Store.

the Windows Store has plenty of apps for daily use.

Until that happens, users will not have a choice in browsers.

the search engine though is limited to Bing with no option to change it.

Microsoft will be making regional options available in areas where Bing isnt available.

The Flip Side

The worry with Windows 10 S however, is the lack for desktop app support.

One area of concern will be driver installations.

Devices & Availability

For now, the only unit Windows 10 S is available on is the Surface.

Windows 10 S is being pegged as a rival to Googles Chromebooks.
