Windows 10 S is not a product you purchase directly. It arrives pre-built with original equipment manufacturer versions. Designed for students and institutions with limited IT capabilities, it emphasizes security by restricting access only through the official store. This setup helps avoid exposure to viruses, malware, ransomware, infected USB drives, and similar threats. Chrome, Firefox, and many popular applications are already available there—Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Spotify, WhatsApp, Netflix, Kodi, Plex, Pandora, Skype, Viber, VLC, Hulu, Fitbit, Slack, and more. So far it works well, but the first year may be challenging for students, as there’s little incentive from Google and Firefox adoption is slow. Opera, now using Chrome, could help boost interest. Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro via the Store is free until December 31st, after which it costs $50—proof that you don’t have to pay the full retail price. The Starter edition was never intended for schools; it was a free OS with a recognizable Windows 7 branding, meant to serve as an advertisement for others.
Your perspective flipped the idea. Windows 8 RT wasn't meant to supersede Win7 but to challenge Chrome OS. Win10S: Windows 10 School Edition; created as a compact, secure version of Windows 10 for budget devices used in schools. Built for direct rivalry with Chrome Books. It can be upgraded to complete Windows 10. Win8RT: Windows 8 and the only variant capable of running on ARM platforms, though it struggled overall. Microsoft learned from this and shifted focus to Win10S, a more adaptable operating system.
