The target is obviously huge installments and computer labs. It's easy and fast to install. Boots up faster and has Access to all the basic functionality you'd need from a PC that you wouldn't have Access to install Your own stuff on either way.
Schools that offer Laptops to high School student, would obviously prefer this. Less hackability, less problems, less prone to viruses and so on.
How do I get Windows 10 S? I want to install it to my mothers' laptop instead of current Windows 10 Pro.
Thanks, that was very useful , actually being upgradable its an advantage!
Just one point regarding " being upgradable "..........
Upgrading a Win 10 S to Win 10 Pro is ONE WAY.
Once it is upgraded to Pro edition, it can NOT be switched back to S edition.

The only thing that is present in Windows 10 S and was present in Windows RT is only the fact that you can only install apps from the Store. Windows RT only supported certain type of apps - those that were made to run on ARM processors (same processor tech used for phones) and it failed. Windows 10 S supports Windows Universal Apps and also Apps from the Store that are just ported desktop PC apps (Win32 - made for x86/x64 CPU architectures), so you can for example run Call of Duty Infinite Warfare or say Adobe Photoshop from Windows Store on Windows 10 S machines, but you can't install Steam on them. If it was ported to Store however, then you would be able to install it.
Another thing that Windows 10 S features is speed, security and the OS itself is more battery efficient because it doesn't run traditional Win32 apps.
Hope I didn't confuse you even more.
P.S.: Yes, it is upgradable to Windows 10 Pro.
It seems like a good fit for people who tend to attract viruses and other malicious code. For people who don't really use anything else than a browser and a few store apps.Why would you even want to do that? I rather prefer windows 10 pro over the s version, i get that its more fast and secure, but theres not a huge difference on that matter i think

I know you can still be secure with Pro, but I guess the idea is to lock down the user and sleep without worry.You right, it make sense :amaze:
