Windows 10 S
While no one is going to use this for 3D or gaming, I figured I'd post this as an FYI. So that anyone considering a laptop for the wife or kids will know. Plus it's another example of Microsofts desire to lock down the PC community. Windows 10 S is Microsoft's answer to Chrome OS 10 S users currently, will be restricted to Edge as their browser and Bing as their search engine. other browsers and search engines will be blocked. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020089/windows-10-s-faq Are there any defaults that I cannot change on my Windows 10 S PC? Yes, Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Microsoft 10 S. You are able to download another browser that might be available from the Windows Store, but Microsoft Edge will remain the default if, for example, you open an .htm file. Additionally, the default search provider in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer cannot be changed. If you’re using Windows 10 S, and you decide that the whole “Windows Store” thing is too limiting, you can pay a relatively small fee to upgrade to a full version of Windows 10 Pro – at which point, it becomes just your normal, everyday Windows computer. At that point, though, you theoretically lose out on the better battery life and guaranteed higher performance.
