Microsoft Releases Windows 10 S ISO to Developers, Education Customers

I wanna test this too. I already downloaded the ISO, I just need to find time. Haha...

Quite easy to download necessary drivers, extract all .inf files to a folder, then use DISM to apply drivers to offline image (install.wim). Installing drivers later, after W10 S has been installed, is however a pain in the you know where.

Can you kindly link me to a tut for this? :)

No tut as far as I know. See this TechNet support article: Add and Remove Drivers to an Offline Windows Image

At the moment testing if I can just use DISM to get installed drivers from fully updated W10PRO on this same laptop, then inject them to W10S install.wim file and use it for dual boot install.

In this case there's not even an electronic delivery, all features are there they just need to be unlocked.

Good point!

I tried this:



I don't recommend it on Win10 S. NTOSKRNL.EXE missing or corrupt error from boot.ini, I guess.

After resetting the OS, Taskbar modifications (desktop toolbar, pinned apps), any links to my MSA, e.g Windows Insider, OneDrive, were gone, and had to be recreated.

Not sure why the "Get Office" App is there? It doesn't work at all, I clicked the Install Office 365 and get a "The thing your looking for isn't here". I was wanting to install Outlook, trying to install that all by itself gets the same message. Of the preinstalled Office Apps, only OneNote appears to work? Clicking Excel, PowerPoint, and Word from the Start Screen gets that same "The thing your looking for isn't here" message. The tiles for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word only show up on the Start Screen. They are not listed in All Apps or in Settings > Apps & features. They are just place holders to install those Apps. That fail when you try to do it. So, it would appear, no way to run Office? That isn't going to fly if this is meant for students?

That is weird behavior. On the other hand, Office is not a Store App so you should not try make that work until you have upgraded to Windows Pro. Office is not intended to be run on Windows S. :)

If I understand correctly, the education part is intended as educational apps coming from Windows Store. Office is just a collection of document manipulation editors and does not fall into the educational app category at all but rather into the productivity category. I think the idea here is that a School has it's own Office servers, the students run Edge browser and manipulate their documents using office online editors.
