![]() Windows 10 S looks and behaves much like Windows 10, but starts quicker You have to use Microsoft Edge in the OS, not only because you can't install Firefox or Chrome, but because Microsoft's browser is the fixed default and there's (currently) no way to change it. You can download software from outside the Windows Store as normal but if you try to install it, you'll be greeted with a message stating 'For security and performance Windows 10 S only runs verified apps from the Store'. Click Next and select 'ISO file.' Download this to your hard drive. ![]() If that's not suitable (perhaps you're running Windows 10 Home but want an ISO for Windows 10 Pro) then untick 'Use the recommended options for this PC' and select the version you do want. If you're running Windows 10 already, the program will automatically select the same version for you. The Media Creation Tool lets you download a Windows 10 ISO file to use in VirtualBoxĪgree to the terms and then select the option to 'Create installation media.' Select the version of the OS you require. You'll also need to be running the Creators Update (1703), or later, which is currently only available as a Windows Insider Preview build. Firstly it's not recommended to install Windows 10 S over Windows 10 Home as you won't be able to activate it. ![]() There are some other restrictions to be aware of. This is the main reason why the process of installing and running Windows 10 S in a virtual environment takes so long you first need to install Windows 10, and then "upgrade" it to Windows 10 S, which isn't a quick process. You don't need to own or run Microsoft's operating system to do this, as it's easy enough to get a free (and perfectly legal) copy to use. Unless you have the developer ISO (from the MSDN network) currently the only way to test Windows 10 S is to install it over a copy of Windows 10. The process is a little more convoluted than normal and takes a while longer as a result, but it's easy enough to do. If you want to try out Windows 10 S, but you don't want to spend money on a new laptop to do so, the easiest solution is to install it in a virtualised environment. Microsoft recently made Windows 10 S available for developers on the MSDN network to download in ISO format, and then released an installer (aimed at the education market) which lets anyone take the new OS for a spin.
