SO … I think it’s totally fine/good that it’s not mentioned,” he said of the report’s omission of Windows 10.
“Next year 10S will be a “mode” of existing versions, not a distinct version. “We use Win10S as an option for schools or businesses that want the ‘low-hassle’/ guaranteed performance version,” Belfiore tweeted. And I think Office 2016 is still a good choice for casual users. Honestly, I hate what Microsoft has done to force users to use Windows 10. So if you are using Windows 8.1 or older versions, you will not be able to install it. Belfiore’s Tuesday Tweet has revealed that the reports are true, and when the transition will take place. However, I regret to inform that according to the disclosures, Microsoft Office 2019 only works on Windows 10.
Microsoft had declined to confirm the substance of those reports until now, and hadn’t said when the transition would take place, if ever. A representative of FutureSource, the author of the report, said that the company could not provide data on the number of Windows 10 S devices, given that “few have been available until recently.” Reports surfaced recently that Microsoft would combine Windows 10 S and Windows 10, making the former a “mode” of the Windows 10 OS. However, Windows 10 S hasn’t appeared in anything more than the Surface Laptop and a handful of education devices.
