More surface laptop users will upgrade from windows 10 S to pro?

[Ali Jradeh]

it is free and win 10 pro is much more suitable for so majority of users.

Does anyone know if you can go back to 10S after the upgrade? Seems like if I don't get the stated battery life with 10 Pro, I might be inclined to jump back to 10S.

Did you read news? Microsoft said that you can't roll back to windows 10 S if you get install to windows 10 pro

it's not going to be a choice for a lot of people. If you're buying it for personal use, the Pro is probably the better way to go.

But if your school or business is enforcing 10 S, then you have to go with it. But it wouldn't be such a bad thing to go the 10 S route. Eventually pretty much everything will work with 10 S. The only holdout I see is Adobe because they don't want to have to share any revenue. But for other companies, it's worth it for the common exposure the Windows Store can offer them. Before, they didn't want to go through the development costs of developing a UWP version of their software but the new tools allow them to transition much easier.

I didn't see that, but thanks for following up.

If its free then you don't really have a reason not to.
Also just may be there should be a way to get Windows10 Pro but lock it to just using store apps and switch when needed. makes it easier to share the laptop with a family member
