Windows 10X

Windows Central indicates that Windows 10X will be released in early 2021. Initially, the operating system was intended for foldable dual-screen devices, but later it was modified to simply a lighter version of Windows 10 for cheaper systems. Collapsible systems are still supported by the way.

Microsoft wants to market Windows 10X as a counterpart to Chrome OS, with all the benefits of Chrome OS such as improved security and battery life, with the added ability to run Windows apps. These are apps from the Microsoft Store, although the company also wants to add support for win32 applications in 2022.

Windows 10X may also run on ARM computers. The system cannot be installed separately, but is only supplied in combination with a computer.
