Yesterday, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore confirmed (http://www.windows10newsinfo.com/smf/index.php/topic,34617.0.html) they will discontinue Windows 10 S as a separate SKU and make S mode as a feature in all editions of Windows 10. Following this announcement, Microsoft received several questions regarding this S mode, so they published a blog post (http://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/03/07/windows-10-s-mode-coming-soon-editions-windows-10/#VFaXYPZaL4kXxTIR.97) to make it clear. Here’s the summary of their blog post:

How can one gets S mode on their PC?

Quote
Starting with the next update to Windows 10, coming soon, customers can choose to buy a new Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro PC with S mode enabled, and commercial customers will be able to deploy Windows 10 Enterprise with S mode enabled.
How can one upgrade from S mode to full-blown PC?

Quote
If a customer does want to switch out of S mode, they will be able to do so at no charge, regardless of edition.
Why are they making this change?

Quote
We have heard feedback that the naming was a bit confusing for both customers and partners.
Microsoft is expecting to see new Windows 10 devices ship with S mode from their OEM partners in the coming months.
