what is Windows 10 s?
Only Windows Store applications are permitted in this version.
It functions similarly to standard Windows 10, but you can't execute .exe files. Only applications from the Microsoft Store are allowed. I don’t recommend Windows 10S to most people globally.
It makes sense for netbooks aimed at users who aren't deeply technical, especially in larger organizations needing strong security. For everyday consumers, it's geared toward people less familiar with tech who are moving from older Windows versions like Vista or XP. They need a budget-friendly laptop for basic web browsing and prefer a known interface over Chrome OS. The device includes a complete Windows 10 license; switching to standard Windows is simple—just change the product key in settings and download the full version.
For big organizations it would make more sense to set up user accounts with restricted access, rather than running the full operating system with limited rights. Perhaps one day a particular user will require an executable file, but you can't because the OS is restricted? If this were handled via Active Directory, you could simply elevate the user's permissions. I suppose Windows 10S offers a better option compared to Chromebooks... Which I already consider helpful for a small group of users.
