Microsoft is preparing to release the final version of Windows 10 and all the Windows 8 users can’t wait to upgrade to the new operating system. Last fall, the company presented the new Windows 10 in San Francisco and since then, Microsoft released many Insider Preview Builds and the users had the opportunity to take a peek at the features of the new OS.
The missing Start button from Windows 8 made a lot of users very frustrated and they even made petitions to bring it back along with the Start menu. Microsoft complied with the waves of requests and brought it back, but moreover, the users can now customize the Start Menu for a better experience.
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 Home is a replacement for the basic versions of Windows 8.1 and it will be free this summer. And the happiest users will be those who have a tablet that runs on Windows 8.1 and it’s powered by an Intel processor, but Windows 10 Home will be available also for devices running on Windows 7 Starter, 7 Home Basic and 7 Home Premium.
Windows 10 Mobile
While Windows 10 Home will be an upgrade for Windows 7 and 8.1, Windows 10 Mobile will reach the smartphones and tablets that currently run on Windows RT and Windows Phone 8.1. This mobile version won’t be bought from online stores, but it will come embedded inside the devices that you will buy from now on. However, the Microsoft tablets running on Windows RT and Windows Phone 8.1 won’t be upgraded to Windows 10 yet.
Windows 10 Pro
This is another version of Windows 10, but it comes with advanced features that aim a premium category of consumers: those that are running small businesses. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn’t given many details about this version, but it will surely interest a lot of app developers.
Windows 10 on Xbox One
The Xbox One console is running on Windows 8, but it has other custom upgrades. Microsoft will roll-out the new Windows 10 to every Xbox One console, but for now, we don’t have any substantial information about the changes for this version, and it’s uncertain yet if the users will be able to download applications from the Windows Store.
Windows 10 Education
Another version of Windows 10 was developed for educational purposes and it won’t be found in stores, but it will be installed on computers from schools and school districts.
Windows 10 Enterprise and Mobile Enterprise
The companies will buy the Windows 10 Enterprise version in bulk directly from Microsoft, but a price for it hasn’t been set yet. Of course, it will have a sophisticated application management, encryption and other features, but we don’t know yet when it will be released.
