When Microsoft launched Windows 10 S – its stripped-down version of Windows – earlier this year, it assured people that anyone buying a device with the OS could upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free until the end of 2017. Now, Microsoft has extended the offer by another three months.
The Chrome OS-style Windows 10 S launched in May 2017, primarily as an alternative to Google and Apple in the education market. As it only runs Windows Store apps, Microsoft said Windows 10 S offers better security and performance compared to the full-fat version of Windows, making it suitable for students and even businesses whose workers don’t require full desktop functions.
