Microsoft has finally provided more details on all of the
versions of Windows 10, which is slated for a summer release. The company
posted all of the information in a blog post, specifying that there will be
seven editions of the operating system – Home, Mobile, Pro, Enterprise,
Education, Windows 10 IoT Core, and Mobile Enterprise.
Home will be the mainstream consumer version of Windows 10,
and it will come with Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Windows Hello (face recognition
technology) and fingerprint login. It will also be compatible with tablets, PCs
and 2-in-1 computers.

The Mobile edition is designed for touch-centric devices,
such as small tablets and smartphones. The key difference between Mobile and
Mobile Enterprise is that the latter is designed for those seeking a business experience.
Mobile Enterprise will deliver Windows 10 with extensive security and mobile
device management capabilities. Both editions will be designed to allow you to
use your personal devices seamlessly at work.
Pro will include features that meet the needs of small
businesses. This version is targeted toward the effective management of devices
and apps. Additionally, it will help you protect any of your sensitive business
data.
Enterprise, on the other hand, is designed for more
large-scale business operations. It has special capabilities that allow it to
combat modern security threats that are aimed at specific devices and
applications. Additionally, it has a wide range of operating system deployment
options, as well as enhanced app management.

Education is being geared toward schools – staff and
students will be able to use this edition of Windows 10 through volume

devices. This will allow the operating system to function on devices such as
Raspberry Pi 2, as well as functioning in single-use operations like ATMs or
point of sale terminals
