There are a lot of Cons and Pros for the Windows 10 S.
The Better Ones
Battery - A Capable One
Microsoft ensures us that Windows 10 S will give us a better battery
life than Windows 10. The Surface Laptop, which was released along with
Windows 10 S, promises a battery life of 14.5 hours on a single charge,
while still having a 13.5" 1080p touchscreen display.
Performance - The Biggest Boost
Microsoft has informed that Windows 10 S can boot up in just 15 seconds
as it contains lesser hardware configurations than Windows 10. You can
also install Windows 10 S via a USB cable, which is a huge time saver.
Compatibility - Just as Windows 10
You can install Windows 10 S in your Wndows 10 PC - Simple as that.
Core is Windows 10 Pro
Windows 10 S can say that its predecessor is Windows 10 Pro, not Windows
10 Home. There are some Pro features in Windows 10 S just as there are
in Windows 10 Pro.
Lower Price
Microsoft wants to catch the eye of schools by providing Windows 10 S as
a free update for Windows 10 Pro users. And if they are dissatisfied,
they are given a free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. After that, it costs
$50.

The Worse Ones
Bye Bye Desktop Programs
Windows 10 S will not run any software that you download other than from
the Windows Store. That means no other browsers, games, etc. and you
will be stuck with the store, which is more of a dustbin.
Only Bing - No Google
Microsoft has also announced that users will not be able to use any
other search engine than Bing within Windows 10 S (aside from browsing
to Google.com).
Byeline
Windows 10 S is mainly aimed at schools and colleges, targeting students
and teachers. It offers high performance and security and it is also
available at a low cost. But the worst problem is that it cannot run any
Desktop programs. Let us see whether it will be a success or just a
flop like the Windows RT.
