Microsoft's big sales pitch with Windows 10 is that it's one platform, with one consistent experience and one app store to get your software from.
But when it comes to buying the actual product, there will be seven different versions, Microsoft says in a blog post.
Here they are:
- Windows 10 Home, which is the most basic PC version. Windows 10 Pro, which has touch features and is meant to work on two-in-one devices like laptop/tablet combinations, as well as some additional features to control how software updates get installed important in the workplace.
- Windows 10 Enterprise,, which will have extra management features. We have some ideas of pricing here, as Microsoft is touting a $7/month Windows 10 Enterprise subscription for businesses that also includes a bunch of juicy, lucrative cloud services.
- Windows 10 Mobile for smartphones.
- Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, which is like the one above, but with more business management features.
- Windows 10 Education, which is optimized for schools.
- Windows 10 IoT Core, which is for robots, smart sensors, and well, if you need it, you'll know it.

There wont be a Windows 11.
Windows as a Service was announced last week. Upgrades to features, UI, and other components will happen ad hoc. So, Microsoft Windows 10 has become Microsoft Windows X. . . even more like Apple OS 10, or Apple OS X. . . LOL!
Microsoft is then essentially dropping the road map. . .

You should be able to get a free upgrade from 7, 8, or 8.1 any time within the first year after 10 is released.

Will it be worth it is the question.
I have a touch screen computer just purchased with 8.1 that I guess has to be updated with 10 pro, can’t wait to see if that is available or an issue.
So far the 8.1 browser is a loser and I had to download Google Chrome and Firefox.
The rest is little issue.

I have found adding USB printers to Ubuntu and Linux Mint to be automatic and therefore could not be easier, if someone in the Linux community has added the definitions for the model you have.Have an HP Envy 7640. I run hplip on Ubuntu 15.04. It's an open source HP Linux Imaging and Printing client--Print, Scan and Fax Drivers for Linux.

Will it be worth it is the question.I think the question is actually "Will it be worth it to me."
And ultimately you'll be the only one that can answer that question, but I think you'll find no shortage of people all too eager to answer it for you.

Right, the issue of compatibility with the internet of the future is the issue.
I might not use explorer but there is Windows Media player and such and the new the operating system the more likely your computer can stay connected it’s full life.

It comes with a new browser (Edge) that’s going to be the platform for future development, so if that’s your primary concern you might want to do some research on that.
