Microsoft fans are right now bracing for 7 versions of Windows 10 that are going to be made available for common public during this summer. It has been announced by Windows that all these 7 versions are being launched to cater specific needs of large user base which requires world famous OS for needs of their own. Let us tell that what are specialties of each of these 7 versions of Windows 10 and which one should you opt for.
This is the "consumer-focused desktop edition" that will replace Windows 8 Consumer and the one most users will see on their PCs, laptops, tablets and "hybrid" 2-in-1 devices. It will ship with Cortana and Microsoft's Edge browser and have Continuum capabilities. Xbox users will also be able to play Xbox Live games on PCs with Windows 10 Home.
Pro’ is essentially ‘Home’ with a few extra features bolted on that advanced and business users will likely want to take advantage of. Additional data protection, remote features, cloud technologies and perhaps more interestingly Windows Update for Business will be the main additions. The latter will allow access to its advanced update rollout features such as peer to peer delivery, which can boost update speeds so whether you’re a business user or just the resident computer expert at home, you’ll likely want to go ‘Pro’
Among 7 versions of Windows 10 this one is surely going to have much in bag from Microsoft. It is for smaller, mobile, touch-centric devices like smartphones and small tablets. It will have the same universal Windows apps that are included in Windows 10 Home. Features also include a new touch-optimized version of Office and also Continuum. The latter might seem odd as why would a user would want to use their smartphone in ‘PC mode’. This feature is basically based on the fact is that many small devices can connect to larger screens where it makes more sense to opt for a PC interface.
This version is aimed at larger businesses with more comprehensive security options. This version will not be taking part in Microsoft's free Windows 10 update because of the fact that it's only available to volume licensing customers.
Builds on Windows 10 Enterprise, it is aimed at school staff, administrators, teachers, and students. It will be available through academic Volume Licensing, and schools will be able to upgrade Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro devices
It is an upgrade to the operating system known as Windows Phone for Business. This version is basically the mobile version of Windows 10 Enterprise, giving users more control over security features and how updates are installed to the system.
This version appears to be the replacement for Windows Embedded and will power smaller connected devices, like gateways. Larger-scale devices like ATMs and retail point-of-sale devices will run versions of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise as being explained by Microsoft itself.
