The new Windows 10 S enables teachers to handle laptops with ease. It is beneficial for schools as it has classroom chat groups, moderation tools, and assignment submissions.

The new operating system will be offered for free to all users of Windows Pro. However, those who want to have an upgrade can also opt for the Windows 10 Pro which will add a $49 cost.
