Microsoft-verified security
With Windows 10 in S mode, your favourite applications, such as Office, Evernote and Spotify, are available from the Microsoft Store where they’re Microsoft-verified for security.
Performance that lasts
Start-ups are quick and S mode is built to keep them that way. And with Microsoft Edge as your browser, your online experience is also fast and secure. Plus, you’ll enjoy a smoothly responsive experience, whether you’re streaming HD video, opening apps, or being productive on the go.
Choice and flexibility
Save your files to your favourite cloud, like OneDrive or Dropbox, and access them from any device you choose. Browse the Microsoft Store for thousands of apps, and if you don’t find exactly what you want, you can easily switch out of S mode2 at any time and search the web for more choices.

Enjoy all the great Windows multi-tasking features, like snapping Windows, task view and virtual desktops. You also get the full suite of built-in apps and all the newest Windows innovations, like Paint 3D, Windows Ink, and Windows Hello3 for fast password-free sign-on.
