While we’re still waiting for the official release date of Windows 10 Microsoft has made public the full list of editions, which should become available this summer in 190 countries across the world. The editions are: Home, Pro, Mobile Pro, Enterprise, Education, Mobile Enterprise, and IoT Core.
Home is, unsurprisingly, the consumer desktop version that we will see on most desktops and laptops, and will include various Windows 10 features such as universal apps, Microsoft’s new Edge browser and Windows Hello face-recognition sign-in, as well as iris and fingerprint log-in. PC users will also be able to play Xbox One games via the Xbox Live community on their machines running the operating system. Windows 10 Pro is similar to the Home edition except there will be extra features, including Windows Update for Business, mostly targeted at small business customers. For large companies Microsoft has released the Windows 10 Enterprise edition, that includes support for Windows Update for Business program and heightened security options.
Windows 10 Mobile will have all the same apps as Home and will include a touch-optimized version of Office. Continuum for phone, which enables users to attach their mobile device to a larger screen and use it like a PC, is also available for the mobile edition. A Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise edition will give businesses better security options and control over updates while making it availed to volume licensing customers.
Microsoft is also releasing an Education edition that’ll give academics more control updates and security, much like Enterprise. Students and schools, says Microsoft, will have options to upgrade to the Education edition from Home or Pro.
Lastly, the Windows IoT edition will replace Windows Embedded, connecting smaller devices such as gateways.
Microsoft says that the company is still “on track” for a summer release. Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to users already running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
