Microsoft makes available to us different versions of Windows 10, versions that try to meet all the needs of users, from home users to professionals who need to get the most out of their computers. To these versions was added one more called Windows 10s, a version intended for a very specific group of computers.
If we are thinking of buying a Windows license for home use but we do not know which may be the best option available, then we will show you the main ones differences between Windows 10s and Windows 10, differences that will allow us to decide quickly.
Speed
Windows 10s is a much lighter version with fewer options than Windows 10 Home, allowing you to turn on the computer in a very short time, about 15 seconds if we use a mechanical hard disk, for the long minute it takes for the Home version.
Battery consumption
Windows 10s, being a smaller version and with fewer functions, offers us lower battery consumption compared to Windows 10 Home, so it is the ideal option for those users who want to extend the battery of their portable devices to the maximum, even if they have to give up some options.
App compatibility
Windows 10s only allows us to install applications that are available in the Microsoft Store, so we can forget to install applications that are not available within it, an issue that can be a problem for some users, since applications in the Mcirosoft store it is not very high.
This limitation will not allow us to install third-party applications such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera and other third-party applications that today are not available in the Windows application store, software that sometimes we need to be able to connect to our smartphone, which can be a problem in the long run.
Compatible equipment
Windows 10s is intended for computers with low resources, computers that in some countries are usually available in educational centers where this version is completely free. Also can be installed on high-end equipment, especially in those found in business environments, where there is, at first, no need to install any external application.
Security
The main advantage that Windows 10s offers us is that by not having access to third-party applications, there is no risk that a virus, malware or other malicious software could sneak onto our computer. However, Windows 10 Home and other full versions, if they are more susceptible to infection, although thanks to the integrated antivirus called Windows Defender, if we do not visit "conflicting" web pages or dedicate ourselves to downloading any file, the risk of infection is considerably reduced. .
