Windows 10 pro это какая версия

Сравните редакции Windows 10 и подберите себе подходящую версию. Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, S или IoT Core — каждая имеет свои плюсы.

Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, S или IoT Core — выберите вариант, соответствующий вашим задачам.

Как узнать, какая редакция Windows 10 вам нужна

Независимо от того, хотите вы обновиться до Windows 10, приобрести новый компьютер или просто переустановить систему, вам понадобится выбрать редакцию. У этой ОС есть четыре главные редакции и ещё пара побочных. Разбираемся, чем они отличаются и кому подходят.

Выбор разрядности системы

Прежде чем выбирать редакцию Windows, нужно определить разрядность системы. Microsoft предоставляет 32-разрядную версию Windows 10 для старых процессоров и 64-разрядную — для новых.

Грубо говоря, если ваш компьютер был создан после 2007 года, он скорее всего оснащён 64-разрядным процессором. Полное руководство по определению разрядности процессора вы можете посмотреть здесь.

Выбор подходящей редакции

Windows 10 Home

Начальная редакция Windows 10, предустановленная на большинстве компьютеров и ноутбуков, которые можно найти в продаже. Эта версия не имеет продвинутых инструментов для обеспечения безопасности бизнес-данных, как в старших редакциях, но они не особенно-то и нужны домашним пользователям.

В Home Edition есть все универсальные приложения от Microsoft, такие как «Календарь», «Почта», «Карты», «Фильмы» и «Фотографии».

Основной недостаток Windows 10 Home Edition — наличие рекламных приложений, которые время от времени автоматически устанавливаются в ваше меню «Пуск». Впрочем, при желании их можно удалить.

Лицензия на Домашнюю версию Windows 10 стоит 9 499 рублей.

Кому выбрать: Windows 10 Home Edition подойдёт большинству обычных пользователей. Да, в ней нет встроенных инструментов для шифрования, но при желании вы можете установить самостоятельно сторонние программы.

Windows 10 Pro

Windows 10 Pro — более продвинутая редакция ОС от Microsoft. Она содержит все те же инструменты и приложения, что и Home Edition, плюс несколько дополнительных функций:

  • Инструмент Microsoft Hyper-V. Используется для запуска операционных систем семейств Windows и Linux в виртуальных машинах. Полезен для разработчиков и системных администраторов, которые занимаются тестированием ПО. Обычные пользователи предпочтут применять для экспериментов более понятный VirtualBox.
  • Центр обновления Windows Update for Business. Предоставляет некоторые дополнительные обновления вдобавок к тем, что доступны в редакции Home. Кроме того, позволяет откладывать установку обновлений.
  • Средства безопасности Device Guard и Secure Boot. Device Guard предназначен для защиты от атак нулевого дня и полиморфных вирусов. Secure Boot защищает от буткитов, которые могут запуститься вместе с системой во время включения компьютера.
  • BitLocker. Инструмент для шифрования данных. При желании можно зашифровать хоть всю систему целиком. Полезно для тех, кто хранит на компьютере важные рабочие файлы и опасается, что они окажутся не в тех руках.
  • Управление групповыми политиками. Используется для работы с настройками множества компьютеров через локальную сеть. Необходимо системным администраторам.

Лицензия на Профессиональную версию Windows 10 стоит 14 199 рублей.

Кому выбрать: Windows 10 Pro ориентирована на малые предприятия. Но и обычные пользователи могут приобрести эту редакцию, если нуждаются в продвинутых инструментах безопасности и шифрования.

Windows 10 Enterprise

Windows 10 Enterprise рассчитана на корпоративное применение. Она включает в себя тот же набор инструментов, что и Windows Pro. Но, помимо этого, редакция Enterprise предоставляет доступ к обновлениям Long-Term Service Branch (LTSB). Это означает, что на ваш компьютер будут устанавливаться только проверенные и самые стабильные обновления, к тому же вы сможете откладывать их получение.

В Windows 10 Enterprise отсутствуют универсальные приложения вроде «Почты», «Календаря», «Карт» и других. Кроме того, на устройства с такой операционной системой не устанавливаются рекламные приложения.

Цена на Windows 10 Enterprise зависит от количества копий, которые вы желаете приобрести. Сначала вам придётся установить на свои компьютеры Windows 10 Pro, а уж потом обновить её до Windows 10 Enterprise. Найти сертифицированных поставщиков и уточнить цены можно на сайте Microsoft или по телефону в Центре лицензирования Microsoft.

Кому выбрать: Windows 10 Enterprise разработана специально для средних и крупных предприятий и организаций. Для обычных пользователей её возможностей будет многовато.

Windows 10 Education

Это редакция Windows 10 для образовательных учреждений. В общем и целом она похожа на Windows 10 Enterprise, но в ней отсутствует возможность присоединиться к каналу обновлений LTSB. Упор в этой редакции Windows делается на предоставление инструментов для студентов и преподавателей.

Здесь есть приложение для настройки учебных компьютеров и инструмент для проведения тестов и экзаменов. Кроме того, пользователи Windows 10 Education получают доступ к образовательному разделу магазина Microsoft Store.

Версия доступна только через академическое лицензирование. Вам придётся сначала установить Windows 10 Home или Pro, а затем обновиться до Education.

Кому выбрать: владельцам академических учреждений. Ориентация на образовательные приложения обычным пользователям точно ни к чему.

Windows 10 S

Строго говоря, Windows 10 S — это не редакция, а особый режим для Windows 10 Home или Pro, который вы можете включить, если у вас вдруг возникнет такое желание. Он доступен также в редакциях Enterprise и Education.

В Windows 10 S ограничен набор доступных приложений. Вы можете использовать только те варианты, которые устанавливаются из Microsoft Store. Просматривать страницы в интернете здесь можно только через браузер Edge. Благодаря таким ограничениям Windows 10 S значительно легче и быстрее полноценных версий ОС, но вам придётся работать только с теми инструментами, что предлагает в своём магазине Microsoft.

Этот режим чаще всего применяется на планшетах и ноутбуках-трансформерах.

Кому выбрать: Windows 10 S используют те, на чьих устройствах она уже установлена. Конечно, вы можете установить её где захотите, но приготовьтесь столкнуться с рядом ограничений.

Windows 10 S на сайте Microsoft →

Windows 10 IoT Core

Windows 10 IoT Core (IoT означает Internet of Things, «Интернет вещей») предназначена для установки на разнообразные устройства и гаджеты. Хотите запрограммировать какого-нибудь робота, собранного вами, переоборудовать своё старое радио, обеспечив ему доступ в интернет, установить Windows на свой медиацентр или собственноручно создать устройство на базе Arduino? Воспользуйтесь Windows 10 IoT Core. Версия подходит и для различных однопалатных компьютеров, таких как Arrow DragonBoard 410c и Raspberry Pi 3.

Кому выбрать: Windows 10 IoT Core предназначена для опытных пользователей, которые увлекаются электроникой. Кроме того, она пригодится, если вы создаёте какой-нибудь высокотехнологичный стартап.

Источник

Windows 10 is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. It was first released in July 2015.

Channels

Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in three different channels (previously «rings»).[1] Insiders in the Dev Channel (previously Fast Ring) receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel (previously Slow Ring), but might experience more bugs and other issues.[2][3] Insiders in the Release Preview Channel (previously Release Preview Ring) do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.[4]

PC version history

Mainstream builds of Windows 10 are labeled «YYMM», with YY representing the two-digit year and MM representing the month of planned release (for example, version 1507 refers to builds which initially released in July 2015). Starting with version 20H2, Windows 10 release nomenclature changed from the year and month pattern to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).[5]

Version 1507 (original release)

Version 1511 (November Update)

The second stable build of Windows 10 is version 1511 (build number 10586), known as the November Update. It was codenamed «Threshold 2» (TH2) during development. This version was distributed via Windows Update on November 12, 2015. It contains various improvements to the operating system, its user interface, bundled services, as well as the introduction of Skype-based universal messaging apps, and the Windows Store for Business and Windows Update for Business features.[6][7][8][9]

On November 21, 2015, the November Update was temporarily pulled from public distribution.[10][11] The upgrade was re-instated on November 24, 2015, with Microsoft stating that the removal was due to a bug that caused privacy and data collection settings to be reset to defaults when installing the upgrade.[12]

Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)

The third stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1607, known as the Anniversary Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 1» (RS1) during development. This version was released on August 2, 2016, a little over one year after the first stable release of Windows 10.[13][14][15][16] The Anniversary Update was originally thought to have been set aside for two feature updates. While both were originally to be released in 2016, the second was moved into 2017 so that it would be released in concert with that year’s wave of Microsoft first-party devices.[17][18][14]

The Anniversary Update introduces new features such as the Windows Ink platform, which eases the ability to add stylus input support to Universal Windows Platform apps and provides a new «Ink Workspace» area with links to pen-oriented apps and features,[19][14] enhancements to Cortana’s proactive functionality,[20] a dark user interface theme mode, a new version of Skype designed to work with the Universal Windows Platform, improvements to Universal Windows Platform intended for video games,[13] and offline scanning using Windows Defender.[21] The Anniversary Update also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux, a new component that provides an environment for running Linux-compatible binary software in an Ubuntu-based user mode environment.[22]

On new installations of Windows 10 on systems with Secure Boot enabled, all kernel-mode drivers issued after July 29, 2015 must be digitally signed with an Extended Validation Certificate issued by Microsoft.[23]

This version is the basis for «LTSB 2016», the first upgrade to the LTSB since Windows 10’s release. The first LTSB release, based on RTM (version 1507), has been retroactively named «LTSB 2015».

Version 1703 (Creators Update)

The fourth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1703, known as the Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 2» (RS2) during development. This version was announced on October 26, 2016,[24][25] and was released for general availability on April 11, 2017,[26][27] and for manual installation via Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool tools on April 5, 2017.[28] This update primarily focuses on content creation, productivity, and gaming features—with a particular focus on virtual and augmented reality (including HoloLens and virtual reality headsets) and on aiding the generation of three-dimensional content.

It supports a new virtual reality workspace designed for use with headsets; Microsoft announced that several OEMs planned to release VR headsets designed for use with the Creators Update.[27][26][29]

Controls for the Game Bar and Game DVR feature have moved to the Settings app, while a new «Game Mode» option allows resources to be prioritized towards games.[30] Integration with Microsoft acquisition Mixer (formerly Beam)[31] was added for live streaming.[30] The themes manager moved to Settings app, and custom accent colors are now possible.[30] The new app Paint 3D allows users to produce artwork using 3D models; the app is designed to make 3D creation more accessible to mainstream users.[32]

Windows 10’s privacy settings have more detailed explanations of data that the operating system may collect. Additionally, the «enhanced» level of telemetry collection was removed.[30] Windows Update notifications may now be «snoozed» for a period of time, the «active hours» during which Windows will not try to install updates may now extend up to 18 hours in length, and updates may be paused for up to seven days.[30] Windows Defender has been replaced by the universal app Windows Defender Security Center.[30] Devices may optionally be configured to prevent use of software from outside of Microsoft Store, or warn before installation of apps from outside of Microsoft Store.[33] «Dynamic Lock» allows a device to automatically lock if it is outside of the proximity of a designated Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone.[34] A «Night Light» feature was added, which allows the user to change the color temperature of the display to the red part of the spectrum at specific times of day (similarly to the third-party software f.lux).[35]

Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)

The fifth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1709, known as the Fall Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 3» (RS3) during development. This version was released on October 17, 2017.[36][37][38] Version 1709 introduces a new feature known as «My People», where shortcuts to «important» contacts can be displayed on the taskbar. Notifications involving these contacts appear above their respective pictures, and users can communicate with the contact via either Skype, e-mail, or text messaging (integrating with Android and Windows 10 Mobile devices). Support for additional services, including Xbox, Skype for Business, and third-party integration, are to be added in the future. Files can also be dragged directly to the contact’s picture to share them.[39] My People was originally announced for Creators Update, but was ultimately held over to the next release,[40][41] and made its first public appearance in Build 16184 in late April 2017.[37] A new «Files-on-Demand» feature for OneDrive serves as a partial replacement for the previous «placeholders» function.[42]

It also introduces a new security feature known as «controlled folder access», which can restrict the applications allowed to access specific folders. This feature is designed mainly to defend against file-encrypting ransomware.[43]

Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)

The sixth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1803, known as the April 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 4» (RS4) during development. This version was released as a manual download on April 30, 2018, with a broad rollout on May 8, 2018.[44][45] This update was originally meant to be released on April 10, but was delayed because of a bug which could increase chances of a «Blue Screen of Death» (Stop error).[46]

The most significant feature of this build is Timeline, which is displayed within Task View. It allows users to view a list of recently-used documents and websites from supported applications («activities»). When users consent to Microsoft data collection via Microsoft Graph, activities can also be synchronized from supported Android and iOS devices.[47][48][49][42]

Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)

The seventh stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1809, known as the October 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 5» (RS5) during development. This version was released on October 2, 2018.[50] Highlighted features on this build include updates to the clipboard function (including support for clipboard history and syncing with other devices), SwiftKey virtual keyboard, Snip & Sketch, and File Explorer supporting the dark color scheme mode.[51]

On October 6, 2018, the build was pulled by Microsoft following isolated reports of the update process deleting files from user directories.[52] It was re-released to Windows Insider channel on October 9, with Microsoft citing a bug in OneDrive’s Known Folder Redirection function as the culprit.[53][54]

On November 13, 2018, Microsoft resumed the rollout of 1809 for a small percentage of users.[55][56]

The long term servicing release, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, is based on this version and is equivalent in terms of features.[57]

Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)

The eighth stable build of Windows 10, version 1903, codenamed «19H1«, was released for general availability on May 21, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 8, 2019.[58] Because of new practices introduced after the problems affecting the 1809 update, Microsoft used an intentionally slower Windows Update rollout process.[59][60][61]

New features in the update include a redesigned search tool—separated from Cortana and oriented towards textual queries, a new «Light» theme (set as default on Windows 10 Home) using a white-colored taskbar with dark icons, the addition of symbols and kaomoji to the emoji input menu, the ability to «pause» system updates, automated «Recommended troubleshooting», integration with Google Chrome on Timeline via an extension, support for SMS-based authentication on accounts linked to Microsoft accounts, and the ability to run Windows desktop applications within the Windows Mixed Reality environment (previously restricted to universal apps and SteamVR only). A new feature on Pro, Education, and Enterprise known as Windows Sandbox allows users to run applications within a secured Hyper-V environment.[62][63]

A revamped version of Game Bar was released alongside 1903, which redesigns it into a larger overlay with a performance display, Xbox friends list and social functionality, and audio and streaming settings.[64]

Version 1909 (November 2019 Update)

The ninth stable build of Windows 10, version 1909, codenamed «19H2«, was released to the public on November 12, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since August 26, 2019.[65] Unlike previous updates, this one was released as a minor service update without major new features.[66]

Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

The tenth stable build of Windows 10, version 2004, codenamed «20H1«, was released to the public on May 27, 2020 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 16, 2020.[67] New features included faster and easier access to Bluetooth settings and pairing, improved Kaomojis, renamable virtual desktops, DirectX12 Ultimate, a chat-based UI for Cortana, greater integration with Android phones on the Your Phone app, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2), and WSL 2 version includes a custom Linux kernel, unlike older WSL, the ability to use Windows Hello without the need for a password, improved Windows Search with integration with File Explorer, a cloud download option to reset Windows, accessibility improvements, and the ability to view disk drive type and discrete graphics card temperatures in Task Manager.[68][69]

Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update)

The eleventh stable build of Windows 10, version 20H2, was released to the public on October 20, 2020 after being on the Beta Channel since June 16, 2020.[70] New features include new theme-aware tiles in the Start Menu, new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge (such as a price comparison tool, Alt+Tab ↹ integration for tab switching, and easy access to pinned tabs), a new out-of-box experience with more personalization for the taskbar, notifications improvements, improvements to tablet mode, improvements to Modern Device Management, and the move of the System tab in Control Panel to the About page in Settings. This is the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Edge browser by default.[71][72][73]

Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update)

The Windows 10 May 2021 Update[74] (codenamed «21H1»[75]) is the twelfth stable build for Windows 10. It carries the build number 10.0.19043. The first preview was released to Insiders who opted in to Beta Channel on February 17, 2021.[76] The update began rolling out on May 18, 2021.[77] Notable changes in the May 2021 Update include:[78]

  • Added multi-camera support for Windows Hello
  • New «News and Interests» feature on the taskbar
  • Performance improvements to Windows Defender Application Guard and WMI Group Policy Service

The update reached end of service after the release of build 19043.2364 on December 13, 2022.[79][80]

Источник

Windows 10 is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. It was first released in July 2015.

Channels

Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in three different channels (previously «rings»).[1] Insiders in the Dev Channel (previously Fast Ring) receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel (previously Slow Ring), but might experience more bugs and other issues.[2][3] Insiders in the Release Preview Channel (previously Release Preview Ring) do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.[4]

PC version history

Mainstream builds of Windows 10 are labeled «YYMM», with YY representing the two-digit year and MM representing the month of planned release (for example, version 1507 refers to builds which initially released in July 2015). Starting with version 20H2, Windows 10 release nomenclature changed from the year and month pattern to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).[5]

Version 1507 (original release)

Version 1511 (November Update)

The second stable build of Windows 10 is version 1511 (build number 10586), known as the November Update. It was codenamed «Threshold 2» (TH2) during development. This version was distributed via Windows Update on November 12, 2015. It contains various improvements to the operating system, its user interface, bundled services, as well as the introduction of Skype-based universal messaging apps, and the Windows Store for Business and Windows Update for Business features.[6][7][8][9]

On November 21, 2015, the November Update was temporarily pulled from public distribution.[10][11] The upgrade was re-instated on November 24, 2015, with Microsoft stating that the removal was due to a bug that caused privacy and data collection settings to be reset to defaults when installing the upgrade.[12]

Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)

The third stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1607, known as the Anniversary Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 1» (RS1) during development. This version was released on August 2, 2016, a little over one year after the first stable release of Windows 10.[13][14][15][16] The Anniversary Update was originally thought to have been set aside for two feature updates. While both were originally to be released in 2016, the second was moved into 2017 so that it would be released in concert with that year’s wave of Microsoft first-party devices.[17][18][14]

The Anniversary Update introduces new features such as the Windows Ink platform, which eases the ability to add stylus input support to Universal Windows Platform apps and provides a new «Ink Workspace» area with links to pen-oriented apps and features,[19][14] enhancements to Cortana’s proactive functionality,[20] a dark user interface theme mode, a new version of Skype designed to work with the Universal Windows Platform, improvements to Universal Windows Platform intended for video games,[13] and offline scanning using Windows Defender.[21] The Anniversary Update also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux, a new component that provides an environment for running Linux-compatible binary software in an Ubuntu-based user mode environment.[22]

On new installations of Windows 10 on systems with Secure Boot enabled, all kernel-mode drivers issued after July 29, 2015 must be digitally signed with an Extended Validation Certificate issued by Microsoft.[23]

This version is the basis for «LTSB 2016», the first upgrade to the LTSB since Windows 10’s release. The first LTSB release, based on RTM (version 1507), has been retroactively named «LTSB 2015».

Version 1703 (Creators Update)

The fourth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1703, known as the Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 2» (RS2) during development. This version was announced on October 26, 2016,[24][25] and was released for general availability on April 11, 2017,[26][27] and for manual installation via Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool tools on April 5, 2017.[28] This update primarily focuses on content creation, productivity, and gaming features—with a particular focus on virtual and augmented reality (including HoloLens and virtual reality headsets) and on aiding the generation of three-dimensional content.

It supports a new virtual reality workspace designed for use with headsets; Microsoft announced that several OEMs planned to release VR headsets designed for use with the Creators Update.[27][26][29]

Controls for the Game Bar and Game DVR feature have moved to the Settings app, while a new «Game Mode» option allows resources to be prioritized towards games.[30] Integration with Microsoft acquisition Mixer (formerly Beam)[31] was added for live streaming.[30] The themes manager moved to Settings app, and custom accent colors are now possible.[30] The new app Paint 3D allows users to produce artwork using 3D models; the app is designed to make 3D creation more accessible to mainstream users.[32]

Windows 10’s privacy settings have more detailed explanations of data that the operating system may collect. Additionally, the «enhanced» level of telemetry collection was removed.[30] Windows Update notifications may now be «snoozed» for a period of time, the «active hours» during which Windows will not try to install updates may now extend up to 18 hours in length, and updates may be paused for up to seven days.[30] Windows Defender has been replaced by the universal app Windows Defender Security Center.[30] Devices may optionally be configured to prevent use of software from outside of Microsoft Store, or warn before installation of apps from outside of Microsoft Store.[33] «Dynamic Lock» allows a device to automatically lock if it is outside of the proximity of a designated Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone.[34] A «Night Light» feature was added, which allows the user to change the color temperature of the display to the red part of the spectrum at specific times of day (similarly to the third-party software f.lux).[35]

Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)

The fifth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1709, known as the Fall Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 3» (RS3) during development. This version was released on October 17, 2017.[36][37][38] Version 1709 introduces a new feature known as «My People», where shortcuts to «important» contacts can be displayed on the taskbar. Notifications involving these contacts appear above their respective pictures, and users can communicate with the contact via either Skype, e-mail, or text messaging (integrating with Android and Windows 10 Mobile devices). Support for additional services, including Xbox, Skype for Business, and third-party integration, are to be added in the future. Files can also be dragged directly to the contact’s picture to share them.[39] My People was originally announced for Creators Update, but was ultimately held over to the next release,[40][41] and made its first public appearance in Build 16184 in late April 2017.[37] A new «Files-on-Demand» feature for OneDrive serves as a partial replacement for the previous «placeholders» function.[42]

It also introduces a new security feature known as «controlled folder access», which can restrict the applications allowed to access specific folders. This feature is designed mainly to defend against file-encrypting ransomware.[43]

Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)

The sixth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1803, known as the April 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 4» (RS4) during development. This version was released as a manual download on April 30, 2018, with a broad rollout on May 8, 2018.[44][45] This update was originally meant to be released on April 10, but was delayed because of a bug which could increase chances of a «Blue Screen of Death» (Stop error).[46]

The most significant feature of this build is Timeline, which is displayed within Task View. It allows users to view a list of recently-used documents and websites from supported applications («activities»). When users consent to Microsoft data collection via Microsoft Graph, activities can also be synchronized from supported Android and iOS devices.[47][48][49][42]

Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)

The seventh stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1809, known as the October 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 5» (RS5) during development. This version was released on October 2, 2018.[50] Highlighted features on this build include updates to the clipboard function (including support for clipboard history and syncing with other devices), SwiftKey virtual keyboard, Snip & Sketch, and File Explorer supporting the dark color scheme mode.[51]

On October 6, 2018, the build was pulled by Microsoft following isolated reports of the update process deleting files from user directories.[52] It was re-released to Windows Insider channel on October 9, with Microsoft citing a bug in OneDrive’s Known Folder Redirection function as the culprit.[53][54]

On November 13, 2018, Microsoft resumed the rollout of 1809 for a small percentage of users.[55][56]

The long term servicing release, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, is based on this version and is equivalent in terms of features.[57]

Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)

The eighth stable build of Windows 10, version 1903, codenamed «19H1«, was released for general availability on May 21, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 8, 2019.[58] Because of new practices introduced after the problems affecting the 1809 update, Microsoft used an intentionally slower Windows Update rollout process.[59][60][61]

New features in the update include a redesigned search tool—separated from Cortana and oriented towards textual queries, a new «Light» theme (set as default on Windows 10 Home) using a white-colored taskbar with dark icons, the addition of symbols and kaomoji to the emoji input menu, the ability to «pause» system updates, automated «Recommended troubleshooting», integration with Google Chrome on Timeline via an extension, support for SMS-based authentication on accounts linked to Microsoft accounts, and the ability to run Windows desktop applications within the Windows Mixed Reality environment (previously restricted to universal apps and SteamVR only). A new feature on Pro, Education, and Enterprise known as Windows Sandbox allows users to run applications within a secured Hyper-V environment.[62][63]

A revamped version of Game Bar was released alongside 1903, which redesigns it into a larger overlay with a performance display, Xbox friends list and social functionality, and audio and streaming settings.[64]

Version 1909 (November 2019 Update)

The ninth stable build of Windows 10, version 1909, codenamed «19H2«, was released to the public on November 12, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since August 26, 2019.[65] Unlike previous updates, this one was released as a minor service update without major new features.[66]

Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

The tenth stable build of Windows 10, version 2004, codenamed «20H1«, was released to the public on May 27, 2020 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 16, 2020.[67] New features included faster and easier access to Bluetooth settings and pairing, improved Kaomojis, renamable virtual desktops, DirectX12 Ultimate, a chat-based UI for Cortana, greater integration with Android phones on the Your Phone app, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2), and WSL 2 version includes a custom Linux kernel, unlike older WSL, the ability to use Windows Hello without the need for a password, improved Windows Search with integration with File Explorer, a cloud download option to reset Windows, accessibility improvements, and the ability to view disk drive type and discrete graphics card temperatures in Task Manager.[68][69]

Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update)

The eleventh stable build of Windows 10, version 20H2, was released to the public on October 20, 2020 after being on the Beta Channel since June 16, 2020.[70] New features include new theme-aware tiles in the Start Menu, new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge (such as a price comparison tool, Alt+Tab ↹ integration for tab switching, and easy access to pinned tabs), a new out-of-box experience with more personalization for the taskbar, notifications improvements, improvements to tablet mode, improvements to Modern Device Management, and the move of the System tab in Control Panel to the About page in Settings. This is the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Edge browser by default.[71][72][73]

Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update)

The Windows 10 May 2021 Update[74] (codenamed «21H1»[75]) is the twelfth stable build for Windows 10. It carries the build number 10.0.19043.

Отличия Windows 10 Home от Pro и что лучше выбрать

Из всех доступных для юзеров операционных систем Windows 10 наиболее востребованными являются две редакции – для домашнего пользования и для бизнеса. Второй вариант корпорация Microsoft разработала для более продвинутых пользователей. Обе ОС имеют незначительные расхождения в системных требованиях и цене. Рассмотрим, чем отличаются версии Windows 10 Home от Pro.

Что такое Windows 10 Pro

В комплект Windows 10 Pro встроены все опции и нововведения, которые имеются в домашней редакции. Но функционал операционной системы заметно расширен. Разновидность Pro больше подойдет бизнесменам, которые работают с большим количеством программных пакетов, нуждающихся в обработке масштабного потока информации. В профессиональной редакции безопасность хранения данных усилена, нововведение относится даже к тем, которые хранятся в облаке.

Еще одна категория пользователей, которым необходима редакция Windows 10 Pro– программисты. В разновидности Professional  встроено большое число модулей, без которых не обойтись в поддержке режимов эмуляции в VisualStudio.

Пользователи Windows 10 Pro сами настраивают тип апгрейда, устанавливают распорядок обновлений либо отказываются от них.

Что входит в Windows 10 Home

Операционная система Windows 10 Home претерпела ряд обновлений, поэтому «ограниченной» ее уже не назовешь.

Функциональные особенности, которыми пополнилась домашняя редакция:

  • обилие виртуальных рабочих столов, между которыми можно быстро переключаться на одном устройстве;
  • браузер Microsoft Edge – разработчики прислушались к пожеланиям пользователей, исправив фактически все огрехи Internet Explorer. Отличается удобством настроек конфиденциальности, красивым интерфейсом. Браузер преобразился, стал конкурентом других систем серфинга;
  • Hiberboot и Insta Go – за 20 секунд возвращает компьютер из спящего режима. Загрузка при включении кнопкой происходит также быстро. Это стало возможным благодаря тому, что часть файлов из оперативной памяти никогда не выгружается;
  • Windows Hello – современная оригинальная технология авторизации пользователя в системе. Получение доступа возможно только после совпадения антропологических параметров лица, радужной оболочки глаза или отпечатка пальца. Но все это можно подключить лишь при условии наличия на компе соответствующих устройств.

Все перечисленные опции будут без перебоев работать на домашней редакции, если она лицензионная. Использование пиратской программы небезопасно для девайса.

Чем отличается Windows 10 Pro от Home

Учитывая то, что непрофессиональному пользователю в процессе работы могут не понадобиться методы шифрования данных, управление групповыми политиками, расширенный список сетевых стандартов и еще ряд похожих функций, необходимости в приобретении профессиональной редакции операционной системы Виндовс 10 нет. Зато юзерам, которые без бизнес — компонентов не смогут достойно организовать работу предприятия, необходимо разобраться, в чем состоит отличие Windows 10 Pro от Home-редакции.

Сравнение стоимости

Учитывая различия в операционных мощностях программ, за лицензионный ключ Pro придется заплатить дороже. При этом некоторые пользователи, по причине бесплатного обновления, никогда не сталкивались с оплатой за Windows 10. У большинства юзеров цена ОС заложена в стоимость покупки, так как приобретена в комплекте с компьютером.

За дополнительную плату профессиональный редактор обновляется до уровня Enterprise. Это позволяет существенно сэкономить на обновлениях, если компания планирует расширение штата сотрудников и открытие новых отделов.

Ограничения памяти

Большая часть юзеров привыкла довольствоваться объемом оперативной памяти от 8 до 16 Гб. Профессиональным геймерам, которые должны быть уверены, что в кульминационный момент их комп не зависнет, необходимо минимум 32 Гб. Поэтому тот факт, что домашняя версия имеет лимит ОЗУ в 128 Гб, воспринимается пользователями на «ура». Даже офису «средней руки» необходимо некоторое время, что бы заполнить такой объем.

Разница Windows 10 Pro от Home в том, что профессиональная версия поддерживает от 512 Гб до 2 Тб. Такой объем ОЗУ могут расходовать разве что высокопроизводительные рабочие станции, занимающиеся выполнением сложных моделей симуляций, визуализацией с помощью компьютерных программ или устройства с большим количеством ядер, работающие с несколькими виртуальными машинами.

Средства безопасности

Профессиональная редакция поставляется с пакетом шифрования «Микрософт», который известен, как BitLocker. Компьютер сам производит шифровку дисков. Человек, не знающий ключа, не прочтет засекреченную информацию.

Для запуска в работу проприетарной технологии шифрования на устройство должен быть установлен крипто процессор (на профессиональных компьютерах он точно есть).

В Windows 10 Home подобной опции нет. Тем не менее, существует масса вариантов решения этой проблемы с помощью сторонних ресурсов. Установив их на компьютер, пользователь получит надежный ключ шифрования. Тем паче, что юзерам домашней редакции кодировка потребуется не для всего диска, а для отдельных файлов.

Функциональность удаленного рабочего стола

В продажу Windows 10 Home поступает без набора инструментов для управления удаленным рабочим столом, но функция подключается через техническую службу поддержки Microsoft. При этом взять под контроль другой компьютер с помощью домашней редакции невозможно.

Это причиняет ряд неудобств юзерам, так как опцией удаленного рабочего стола пользуются даже неспециалисты. Не время расстраиваться, добавить функциональности операционной системе можно посредством сторонних ресурсов. Например, выбрать пакет программного обеспечения Team Viewer, чрезвычайно удобный в эксплуатации.

Работа с виртуальными средами

Практически все современные процессоры оснащены специальными опциями, направленными на улучшение скорости и эффективности виртуализации. К этому набору вычислительных ресурсов хоть раз в жизни прибегают все пользователи. Профессиональная версия оборудована встроенной технологией для работы с виртуальными средами. Следовательно, обладатели Windows 10 Pro, зная об оптимизации ОС, могут получать удовольствие от работы.

Домашняя редакция таким расширением не оснащена, но задача разрешима. Чтобы пользователи Home могли пользоваться виртуальными машинами, необходимо прибегнуть к помощи сторонних сервисов. К примеру, простой в эксплуатации программный продукт виртуализации для операционных систем – Virtual Box.

Другие функции для бизнеса

Главное различие между Windows 10 Home от Pro – наличие в профессиональной редакции корпоративных функций. Их специфика направлена на облегчение работы ИТ — отделов и включает ряд инструментов для администрирования и управления. Это позволяет:

  • контролировать компьютерные системы,
  • при необходимости лимитировать список приложений, запускаемых сотрудниками,
  • быстро, в масштабах компании, осуществлять обновления.

В домашнем компьютере редактор групповой политики и упомянутые опции отсутствуют.

В операционной системе Windows 10 имеются разные редакции (версии) системы для использования на компьютерах, различающиеся по своим функциональным возможностям. В статье мы подробно остановимся на различиях редакций ОС Windows 10.

На большинстве компьютеров, покупаемых в розницу (ноутбуки, нетбуки, моноблоки, гибридные планшеты, системные блоки настольных компьютеров), уже установлена производителем устройства определенная редакция Windows 10. В этом случае, у покупателя нет выбора, приходиться довольствоваться тем, что есть.

  2. Редакции Windows 10 Pro
  3. Редакции Windows 10 Enterprise

  7. Выводы статьи

Пользователи, покупающие устройство без операционной системы (ноутбук, готовый системный блок, собранный системный блок и т. д.), самостоятельно устанавливают на компьютер какую-либо версию операционной системы Windows. Большинство пользователей выбирают современную операционную систему Windows 10 для установки на компьютер. Перед установкой системы, встает вопрос: какую редакцию Windows 10 выбрать, чем отличаются редакции Windows между собой.

В данной статье мы рассмотрим редакции Windows 10 для ПК и ноутбуков, не затрагивая мобильные и серверные версии Windows. Пользователи, не знающие подробностей о версии Windows 10, установленной на компьютере, могут легко узнать редакцию системы, прочитав эту статью.

Microsoft с момента выхода Windows 10 в июле 2015 года, время от времени, добавляет новые редакции операционной системы. Помимо разделения на версии, каждая редакция имеет номер сборки, номера сборок меняются после установки обновлений системы.

Основные версии Windows 10 разделены на три категории, отличающиеся друг от друга функциональными возможностями:

  • Windows 10 Home (Windows 10 Домашняя).
  • Windows 10 Pro (Windows 10 Профессиональная).
  • Windows 10 Enterprise (Windows 10 Корпоративная).

От основных категорий Windows 10 отделяются производные категории (подвиды основных версий), в которых основная версия имеет несколько вариантов производных редакций системы. Выбор редакции Windows 10, зависит от потребностей конкретного пользователя. Сравнение редакций Windows 10 между собой в виде таблицы, вы увидите в конце статьи.

выбор операционной системы

Существует программа Windows 10 Insider Preview для предварительной оценки новых выпусков Windows 10. Пользователи, выполняющие функции тестирования, бесплатно получают предварительные версии Windows для использования на своих компьютерах. Взамен получает телеметрию об использовании системы, это позволяет проверить работу системы с новыми функциями, выявить неисправности и устранить неполадки в следующих сборках Виндовс 10.

Для продажи в розницу поступают только 3 версии Windows 10 для установки на новые компьютеры:

  • Windows 10 Домашняя (Windows 10 Home).
  • Windows 10 Профессиональная (Windows 10 Pro).
  • Windows 10 S.

Версия Windows 10 Enterprise устанавливается на компьютеры только в качестве обновления с редакции Windows 10 Pro. Остальные версии Microsoft поставляет производителям оборудования (ПК, ноутбуков) для установки на устройства, перед продажей потребителям.

Оригинальную операционную систему Windows 10 можно скачать с официального сайта Майкрософт, способами, описанными в этой статье.

Редакции Windows 10 Home

Для домашних пользователей выпущена редакция Windows 10, в которой присутствуют все базовые основные возможности операционной системы. Дома не нужны функции системы, применяемые на предприятиях, поэтому нет смысла переплачивать за лишнюю функциональность. Данная редакция хорошо подойдет для домашнего использования. В редакции Windows 10 Home применяется автоматическое обновление.

Версии Windows 10 для домашних пользователей подразделяются на следующие редакции:

  • Windows 10 Домашняя (Windows 10 Home).
  • Windows 10 Домашняя для одного языка (Windows 10 Home Single Language; Windows 10 Home SL; Windows 10 Single Language; Windows 10 SL) — версия аналогичная домашней редакции, отличающаяся лишь тем, что здесь нельзя поменять язык операционной системы. Очень часто данная редакция устанавливается на ноутбуках и нетбуках. Для производителей это более дешевый вариант лицензирования Майкрософт, чем Windows 10 Home.
  • Windows 10 Домашняя с Bing — в этой версии нельзя поменять поисковую систему Bing в браузерах Microsoft Edge и Internet Explorer (ничто не мешает использовать другой браузер). Данная редакция устанавливается на некоторых ноутбуках.

Редакции Windows 10 Pro

Для предприятий малого бизнеса и домашних пользователей, которым необходимы расширенные возможности системы, предлагается профессиональная версия Windows 10, которая, в свою очередь, подразделяется на несколько редакций. В этой версии доступен гипервизор (виртуальная машина) Hyper-V, BitLocker и другие функции системы.

Профессиональные версии Windows 10 имеют следующие редакции:

  • Windows 10 Профессиональная (Windows 10 Pro).
  • Windows 10 Pro для образовательных учреждений (Windows 10 Pro Education).
  • Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Windows 10 Pro для рабочих станций) — версия Windows 10 Pro с расширенной поддержкой оборудования для предприятий с высокой вычислительной нагрузкой.
  • Windows 10 S — версия со специальной конфигурацией Windows 10 Pro, в которой возможна работа приложений, установленных из Магазина приложений (Microsoft Store). Все другие программы не будут работать в этой версии операционной системы.

Редакции Windows 10 Enterprise

Для предприятий среднего и крупного бизнеса создана корпоративная версия системы. Редакция Windows Enterprise имеет все возможности профессиональной версии, а также дополнительные функции, которые актуальны для применения на предприятиях.

Корпоративная версия Windows 10 имеет следующие редакции:

  • Windows 10 Корпоративная (Windows 10 Enterprise).
  • Windows 10 Корпоративная с долгосрочным обслуживанием (Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB).
  • Windows 10 для образовательных учреждений (Windows 10 Education).

Версия Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB имеет долгосрочный срок поддержки, предназначена для стабильной надежной работы. В системе отсутствуют встроенные приложения, ограничен некоторый функционал, устанавливаются только важные обновления. ОС Windows 10 LTSB можно бесплатно использовать в течение 90 дней (пробный период), система работает на английском языке. О том, как установить русский язык в Windows читайте тут.

Другие версии Windows 10

Также имеются несколько других версий Windows 10, среди них:

  • Windows 10 IoT (Windows 10 для «Интернета вещей») — эта версия имеет несколько редакций для установки на промышленное оборудование (терминалы, банкоматы и т. п.).
  • Windows 10 Team — данная версия устанавливается на планшеты Surface Hub.

Различие редакций Windows 10

Многие пользователи, наверное, замечали отличия редакций Windows 10 с буквами в конце обозначения версий системы.

Буква «N» добавляется к редакциям Windows 10, выпущенных для стран Европейского Союза. Название редакций имеют такой вид: Windows 10 Home N, Windows 10 Pro N, Windows 10 Enterprise N и т. д. Отличие от стандартных версий в том, что в этих версиях, по требованию ЕС, отсутствуют некоторые приложения (музыка Groove, Windows Media Player, Кино и ТВ), которые можно добавить в ОС самостоятельно.

Буквы «KN» добавляется к версиям системы для Южной Кореи. Здесь отсутствуют те же самые приложения. Обозначение версий выглядит следующим образом: Windows 10 Enterprise KN, Windows 10 Pro KN, Windows 10 Home KN и т. д.

Для Китая выпущена специальная версия Windows 10 China Government Edition для использования в государственных учреждениях.

Буквенные сочетания «VL», «OEM», «COEM», «GGK», «GGWA», «FPP» обозначают типы лицензий для Windows.

Сравнение версий Windows 10 в таблице

Для использования на личных компьютерах оптимально подходят две редакции: Windows 10 Домашняя и Windows 10 Профессиональная. С помощью списка, отображающего возможности разных редакций Виндовс 10, намного легче выбрать лучшую версию системы, подходящую под требования конкретного пользователя.

Для наглядного сравнения версий Windows 10 посмотрите таблицу, в которой отображены основные возможности системы в разных редакциях: Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education.

Вчера, 29 июля, новая операционная система Microsoft Windows 10 официально вышла в свет. Для настольных компьютеров предлагается четыре версии Windows 10:

• Home (Домашняя) — для домашнего использования;
• Pro (Профессиональная) — для малого бизнеса;
• Enterprise (Корпоративная) — для среднего и крупного бизнеса;
• Education (для образовательных учреждений) — та же версия Enterprise, только предназначенная для использования в учебных заведениях в образовательных целях.

Тем, кто подумывает о переходе на новую ОС и стоит перед выбором, предлагаю список различий между этими версиями.

Как видите, базовые функции у всех версий одинаковы, различия только в бизнес-компонентах. Также при сравнении функций надо учитывать, что некоторые из них (напр. Continuum) должны поддерживаться устройством, для других требуется специальное оборудование, например для Windows Hello нужен сканер отпечатков пальцев, ИК-датчик с подсветкой и прочее биометрическое оборудование.

И немного о том, как заполучить новую ОС. Напомню, что у владельцев лицензионной версии Windows 7 или Windows 8.1 есть возможность бесплатного обновления, остальные могут просто приобрести одну из версий. Только Windows 10 Home и Pro доступны для приобретения в розничной продаже. Windows 10 Enterprise доступна по корпоративным лицензиям, а Windows 10 Education — по программам корпоративного лицензирования для учебных заведений.

На данный момент цены на Windows 10 не очень гуманны (на мой взгляд), например домашняя версия Windows 10 стоит 5790 руб, а версия Pro аж 9900 руб. Однако можно немного сэкономить, купив Windows 8.1 с возможностью бесплатного апгрейда до Windows 10.

Ну и конечно можно загрузить 90-дневную ознакомительную версию Windows 10 и попробовать все ее возможности, либо присоединиться к программе Windows Insider и получить Windows 10 бесплатно 🙂

Привет, друзья. В этой публикации рассмотрим, какую Windows 10 лучше установить. Актуальная операционная система многим отличается от прежних версий Windows: она обновляется и развивается наряду с массовым использованием, у большинства её выпусков современная политика жизненного цикла продукта с постоянной поддержкой и обслуживанием компанией Microsoft, и в связи с этим у самой Windows 10 есть версии, меняемые дважды в год по мере интеграции функциональных обновлений. Версии базируются на сборках системы, которые существуют в рамках стабильной ветви Windows 10 и программы её предварительного тестирования Windows Insider. Как и у версий-предшественниц, у «Десятки» есть 32- и 64-разрядные выпуски. Есть множество редакций и подредакций. Версии, сборки, разрядности, редакции, подредакции — всё это различные выпуски «Десятки», от выбора которых зависит наша работа с компьютером. Зависит в плане комфорта, стабильности, функционала и возможностей. Зависит в каких-то случаях несущественно, а в каких-то весьма значимо. Так давайте же разберёмся, какие выпуски Windows 10 в каких случаях лучше использовать на домашних компьютерах.

Друзья, прежде всего, чтобы вы понимали всё разнообразие выпусков актуальной операционной системы Microsoft, рекомендую посмотреть статью сайта «Какие существуют разновидности Windows 10». В ней описывается место Windows 10 в семействах Windows, все её редакции и подредакции. Так какую Windows 10 лучше установить в тех или иных случаях?

Windows 10 Pro – редакция «Профессиональная», стандартная редакция операционной системы, предусматривает максимально возможный функционал в рамках домашнего использования компьютера.

Обычный ключ на Pro на сайте Microsoft стоит значительно дороже, чем на редакцию Home: Pro — $289, а Home — $199. Но если брать дешёвый OEM-ключ, который отдельно от OEM-компьютера позволительно использовать на домашних компьютерах, он может стоить либо так же, как OEM-ключ на редакцию Home, либо несущественно дороже, либо даже дешевле. Если у вас мощный или усреднённый по современным меркам, если у вас в качестве жёсткого диска SSD, устанавливайте Windows 10 Pro. 

Windows 10 Home – редакция «Домашняя», самая младшая редакция «Десятки», с минимальным комплектом функционала. Из тех, что есть в редакции Pro, в Home нет функций как то: Windows Hello для бизнеса, вход без пароля в Windows и Azure, защита от утечек Information Protection, BitLocker, режим терминала, Windows Autopilot, SMB Direct, Hyper-V, локальная групповая политика, удалённое подключение по протоколу RDP. Ничего из всего этого не является критически важным, годные функции типа BitLocker или удалённого подключения по RDP заменяемы функционалом стороннего софта. А редактор локальной групповой политики при желании можно запустить и в редакции Home.

Эта редакция подойдёт для большинства случаев домашнего использования, и для слабых ПК и ноутбуков – это оптимальная редакция Windows 10. За счёт минимальной комплектации функционалом она может работать немного шустрее, чем Pro. Этой толики не заметить на компьютерах усреднённой и мощной производительности, а вот на слабых устройствах разница в работе редакций может быть ощутимой. В сети можно встретить разоблачения идеи, что Home работает быстрее Pro, мол у обоих редакций одинаковое время загрузки и число активных процессов. Я же рекомендую вам, друзья, ориентироваться на свои ощущения, ориентироваться, как по вашим ощущениям ведёт себя система. На любом железе надо пробовать, идёт ли Home легче Pro. Но, конечно же, если у вас чрезмерно слабое старое устройство, если система работает на диске HDD, то лучше установить Windows 8.1 или Windows 7.

Ну и если, друзья, вам принципиально нужен обычный, а не OEM-ключ, если вы хотите его купить не у сторонних продавцов — на AliExpress, eBay или в профильных интернет-магазинах — за гораздо меньшие деньги, а именно на сайте Microsoft, выбирайте редакцию Home. Повторюсь, на сайте Microsoft ключ к ней стоит $199, а к Pro — $289. Разница как-никак $90.

Редакции Home и Pro Windows 10 оптимальны для игр, в них есть функция Game Bar, интегрированы с Xbox. Эти редакции поставляются в официальном дистрибутиве операционной системы на сайте Microsoft.

Home, Pro и прочие редакции Windows 10 – это продукты Microsoft с современной политикой жизненного цикла продукта. Эта политика предусматривает постоянную поддержку и обслуживание продуктов Microsoft, но на определённых условиях компании. Для Windows 10 таким условием является обновление до новых версий. Непрерывная поддержка касается всей Windows 10 как бренда, однако на каждую версию операционной системы отводится ограниченное время поддержки – 18 месяцев. Исключение составляют версии, выпущенные во втором полугодии, редакций Windows 10 Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, срок их поддержки – 30 месяцев. Однако есть у Windows 10 специфический выпуск LTSC 2019 – выпуск с фиксированной политикой жизненного цикла, которая применялась для Windows 7 и пока ещё применяется для Windows 8.1. Фиксированная политика – это 10 лет поддержки продукта, из которых 5 лет это основная поддержка и ещё 5 лет расширенная. LTSC – это операционная система для тех, кому важна стабильность работы компьютера. 

LTSC является подредакцией Enterprise с 10-летним фиксированным сроком поддержки. Такая операционная система не обновляется функционально, она получает только обновления безопасности. Базируется LTSC на версии Windows 10 1809 от 2018 года, система выпущена в том же 2018 году, срок её поддержки закончится в начале 2029 года. LTSC заточена под функционирование только классической части (программ Win32), в ней нет современных универсальных приложений и магазина Microsoft Store. Если вы не хотите наблюдать за эволюцией Windows 10, не хотите нести потенциальные риски сбоя системы при каждом её функциональном обновлении, если вам нужна стабильность операционной системы для майнинга или подобных задач, выбирайте LTSC. Также вы можете попробовать LTSC, если у вас слабый ПК или ноутбук. Если до 2019 года (до версии 1903) ваше устройство лучше работало с Windows 10, попробуйте поработать с выпуском LTSC. Детальнее о нём можете почитать в статье сайта «Windows 10 LTSC 2019 — новая жизнь Windows 10 LTSB». Где скачать LTSC, смотрим в статье «Где скачать полноценный, не ознакомительный выпуск Windows 10 LTSC 2019».  

Для LTSC, как и для обычных редакций Windows 10, существуют OEM-ключи активации, которые могут использовать домашние пользователи.

А какую Windows 10 лучше установить на критически слабых компьютерах? Как упоминалось, на таких лучше установить Windows 7 или 8.1. Но если у вас слабый ПК или ноутбук не старый, а новый, аппаратная начинка которого несовместима с версиями Windows ниже 10, можете попробовать поработать со старыми версиями «Десятки», выпущенными до 2018 года. Например, с версией 1709 от 2017 года, появившейся вместе с выходом функционального обновления Fall Creators Update. Старые версии до 2018 года работают шустрее современных, в них меньше нужных не всем эволюционных доработок Microsoft, при этом присутствует весь классический функционал Windows, обеспечивающий большую часть пользовательских задач. Но важно, друзья: старые версии Windows 10 не поддерживаются компанией Microsoft, в них могут не работать новые версии программных компонентов, и вряд ли на старых версиях «Десятки» разработчики стороннего ПО отлаживают свои продукты. В старых версиях операционной системы вы не сможете получать обновления, в том числе безопасности, поскольку обновления придётся заблокировать, чтобы старая версия автоматически не обновилась до актуальной версии.

А как скачать старые версии Windows 10? В официальном дистрибутиве Microsoft поставляются только актуальные версии, если вы хотите скачать установочный образ ранних версий, можете сделать это способом, описанным в статье «Как скачать оригинальные образы ISO Windows 10», либо с помощью программы Windows ISO Downloader.

Ну а если вам, друзья, скучно жить, возможно, у вас депрессия, привнесите в свою жизнь нестабильность и непредсказуемость — станьте инсайдером, участником программы предварительной оценки Windows Insider Program. Либо сделайте это, если просто хотите быть продвинутым пользователем компьютера. Переведите свою Windows 10 на инсайдерский канал поставки обновлений и исследуйте новые разработки компании Microsoft. Следите за англоязычным блогом Windows Insider на сайте Microsoft, поищите в Рунете ресурсы, посвящённые инсайдерской тематике Windows 10. Читайте о новшествах и исследуйте их в инсайдерских сборках операционной системы.
