Microsoft has always been about safety and performance when it comes to its Windows 10 operating system. This is why, back in May of 2017, they announced Windows 10 S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Updated in 2018, and renamed as Windows 10 in S mode, this version allows your security to be heightened while still receiving a similar experience to that of Windows. However, there are limitations within this mode. For example, S mode only allows the Microsoft Edge browser to be used. The reasoning behind this stems from the maximum security you’ll receive, as opposed to Firefox, Chrome, or other browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With Windows 10 in S mode, your favorite applications, such as Office, Evernote and Spotify, are available from the Microsoft Store where they\u2019re Microsoft-verified for security. You can also feel secure when you\u2019re online. Microsoft Edge, your default browser, gives you more protection against phishing and socially-engineered malware than Chrome or Firefox.” <\/p>Microsoft<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Windows 10 in S mode also increases performance, as it allows for a better and faster response time and an overall wonderful experience. Processors that S mode will work on include Qualcomm Snapdragon, AMD, and Intel. You can check to see if your PC has any of them by going to the Start Menu-Settings-System-About<\/strong>. Then, under the Device Specifications<\/strong>, you’ll see “Processor,” which will tell you which one you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To learn more about Windows 10 in S Mode, be sure to head on over to the Microsoft website<\/a><\/strong> and glance through their FAQ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
