Table of contents:
Almost two years ago we had the first news of two new devices from Microsoft such as the Surface Hub 2S and the Surface 2X. Back in 2019, Microsoft launched the Surface Hub 2S in the United States while its brother, the Surface Hub 2X seemed to be left in limbo.
The Surface Hub 2S is a device designed for professional environments that favors collaborative work among the different members of an organization. A team that was based on a special edition of Windows 10 Teams, with the ability to use a stylus on the screen, Office 365, Teams and Skype for Business and that now also has a built version on Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise
With Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise
Windows 10 Team presents advantages among which security stands out, by allowing only the installation of applications from the Microsoft Store. A factor that at the same time can become an inconvenience, and that is what Microsoft wants to correct by launching a version based on Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.
Microsoft announced today that the Surface Hub 2S can be purchased with a version of Windows other than Windows 10 Teams so you can choose between Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise. What this means is that users can install external applications to the Microsoft Store of type Win32, the use of third-party accessories or the use of functions such as Windows Hello.
