Do you have questions about the four versions of Windows 10? Here we clarify some doubts about it
A few days ago with the MicrosoftEDU event held in New York City we attended the presentation of the Surface Laptop but equally and no less importantly we also got to know a new version of the Redmond operating system . This is Windows 10 S, a version designed for educational environments
A release that, although it has been well defined, has caused some users to be unclear about the differences between the different versions of Windows that can be found in the market.And it is that between Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 S there are some differences that we will now see.
Windows 10 Home
It is the most common version and easiest to find on all computers. A version designed for home users that has the most common Windows functions, although it lacks others for which you have to pay more than the 135 euros that this version costs.
Windows 10 Pro
The next step on our list is occupied by Windows 10 Pro, a version that offers solutions regarding maintenance and security that are not present in the Home version. This is how we find how users have access to functions such as Bitlocker or Remote Desktop among others.The price, yes, already goes up to 279 euros.
Windows 10 Enterprise
His name already indicates his destination: professional environments. This is a version that can only be purchased if you have a license for the Windows 10 Pro version and through which you can access other improvements such as Enterprise Data Protection, the possibility of managing mobile devices or specific support.
Windows 10S
The most recent version within the Windows ecosystem, a version that will arrive in June 2017 and will cost 189 euros yes Well for schools with computers running Windows 10 Pro it will be free. If, on the other hand, you want to jump from Window 10 S to Windows 10 Pro, you will have to pay $49, a price that will be free for buyers of a Surface Laptop this year.In case of using another device, the payment of those 49 dollars would have to be made yes or yes from the beginning.
A release that features limiting installation of apps to those available in the Windows Store and may not come from from outside the store. An iPadization" as we have come to call that makes it an ideal system for educational environments where theoretical security and reliability are sought by preventing the user from installing applications that do not come from the Windows Store and above all competing with Chrome OS from Google.
Therefore, and how we see there are important differences between the four versions of Windows that we can find on the market. Differences depending on the market niche to which they are intended and with which Microsoft seeks to maintain its majority presence in computer equipment.
