Windows 10 S is a new Windows experience that is built from the ground up keeping in mind classrooms. All legal Windows 10 Pro machines in schools are eligible to get Windows 10 S for free.
The Windows 10 S software is tied to the Windows Store, which means students can only run apps downloaded from the Store. Microsoft's Tuesday New York event was centred on education, and the company took centre stage to introduce Windows 10 S as a simpler, more secure operating system meant for students.
