Windows 10X is arriving next year: What we know so far
2020-12-13 09:01

According to sources, Windows 10X compatibility levels with Win32 apps were not great and Microsoft decided to focus on Windows 10X without native support for Win32.

Microsoft is believed to be working on a premium service called 'Cloud PC' that will allow business users to stream their desktop apps to Windows 10X. It's also worth noting that Windows 10X won't be released for beta testing and it is not something that you can install on your current hardware.

As we reported last year, Windows 10X comes with a new Start Menu experience and attractive set of colored icons "To fuel a new era of productivity." In addition, Windows 10X will ditch the flat and aesthetic live tiles to offer simple experience with fewer customization options.

Last year, Microsoft claimed that Windows 10X would be technically separated from the OS components such as the drivers and apps, which allows Windows 10X to handle updates better than the traditional version of Windows 10.

For those who wish to try out Windows 10X for dual-screen devices, Microsoft has released an emulator that can be installed on Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise edition, and you can learn more about it here.
