Windows 10 S is Windows 10 Home single language. What it means is that it has the same features as Windows 10 Home but you cannot add any display language to it. If it is English US, you cannot for example add the Greek (or whatever) language pack and switch the interface to Greek (or whatever) and of course it has a different license key to Windows 10 Home. You cannot use a Windows 10 Home key to install it. Of course you can add different keyboard layouts (eg Greek modern) to type in other languages. If you don't mind about the language limitation, it's OK
Do you have any off-store apps to sideload? If you don't have, then this is not a problem. Otherwise you have to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro to enable all features.
The simple way to find out is to click the 'go to the store' link. The store should then tell you if it will be free, as it did for the OP in this thread who switched successfully for free.

From what I know Windows 10 S can be upgraded for free via the Windows store & apparently it unlocks Pro.

You sound surprised. Yes, that's what Windows 10 S (or the current Windows 10 in S mode) does - 'S' stands for Secure.
