Due to lack of outside market apps Windows 10 S is much faster than Windows 10 Pro. Windows 10 S will take around 15 seconds to be ready for a student to log in and use for the first time, a faster process than what’s currently available on Windows 10 Pro, says Microsoft. Other smart features include the ability to set up machines using a USB drive with pre-configured options. Windows 10 S will simply detect the key and customize all settings ready for a school.
During a demonstration onstage, Myerson showed off the ability to support peripherals and devices just like regular Windows 10.
Microsoft is also bringing full versions of Office to the Windows Store. If you buy a device running Windows 10 S then you’ll be getting an option to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro to enable all normal functionality.
