Windows 10 S becomes "S Mode"
Now, Joe Belfiore, Vice President of Microsoft, confirms what will be the future of the locked release of Windows 10. Next year, Windows 10 S becomes a "mode" in existing versions, not a dedicated edition, he writes on Twitter.
He explains that this edition is aimed at students and businesses who want a hassle-free edition of Windows 10 with guaranteed good performance.
According to reports, Microsoft is planning a new "S Mode" for Windows 10 Home, Enterprise, and Pro. Home users can remove this mode for free, while Windows 10 Pro users may need to browse for full access. This can, of course, be changed before 2019.
