Какие сборки windows 10 существуют

Каждая из версий Windows существует в нескольких редакциях (выпусках). У старых версий, выпускаемых в 90-е годы, их было значительно меньше.  Эволюция операционной системы, адаптация компании Microsoft к современному рынку сбыта, а также прочие обстоятельства обусловили появление новых разновидностей Windows. Последняя версия 10 – лидер по их числу. Её дистрибутивов – как функциональных редакций, так и сборок, фиксирующих то или иное состояние системы – существует огромное множество. Ниже попробуем разобраться в них.

Прежде чем приступить к обзору дистрибутивов конкретно «Десятки», предлагаю для начала посмотреть на изначальную структуру разновидностей Windows. Так поймём всю грандиозность размаха основного продукта Microsoft.

Главенствующий критерий деления Windows – это семейства. Основные семейства такие:

  • Windows NT – это линейка десктопных (для ПК, ноутбуков и планшетов) и линейка серверных систем, начиная с Windows NT 3.1 и заканчивая Windows 10 и серверной Windows Server 2022. Десктопные NT – это те, что используются повсеместно;
  • Windows Embedded – тип системы для терминалов, банкоматов, прочих автоматов и различной аппаратуры;
  • Windows 10 IoT – пришедшая на замену Embedded операционная система для производственных устройств, но уже с большим перечнем их поддержки. Среди таких устройств – системы автоматизации «Умный дом»;
  • Windows Mobile, она же в более раннем релизе Windows Phone – платформа для мобильных устройств.

***

В каждом семействе могут существовать свои линейки (как в случае с NT), свои версии, свои редакции, свои подредакции и т.п. У «Десятки» же делений ещё больше. Если будем скачивать её установочный ISO-образ не с помощью официальной утилиты от Microsoft MediaCreationTool, а, например, посредством программы Windows ISO Downloader, в перечне выбора увидим массу возможных дистрибутивов.

В случае с «Десяткой» имеем не только стабильную ветвь операционной системы, но и ветвь в рамках проекта Windows Insider – программы тестирования новшеств операционной системы. Плюс к этому, поскольку Microsoft заявила, что как минимум в скором будущем не будет новых версий системы, и компания собирается работать над совершенствованием «Десятки» параллельно с её использованием массами, по итогу этой работы на сегодняшний день имеем массу сборок и версий самой версии 10. К этим всем разновидностям мы ещё вернёмся, а пока же рассмотрим, какие существуют редакции системы.

Редакции – четвёртое колено деления Windows NT. В семействе существует две линейки, в линейках есть свои версии, а у каждой из версий – свои редакции. Редакции предусматриваются прежде всего для удобства самой компании Microsoft, так ей выгоднее торговать лицензионными копиями операционной системы. Основа торговли – редакция Pro, от неё уже пляшется в ту или иную сторону. Урезая какой-то функционал, компания снижает лицензионную плату за использование операционной системы, делая её таким образом доступной по цене большему числу лиц. А, предлагая дополнительные возможности в редакциях для определённых сегментов рынка, компания умудряется торговать одним и тем же, но по принципу «Для бедных цена — рубль, для богатых — два». 

В плане урезания возможностей, кстати, компании нужно отдать должное. В отличие от производителей процессоров, которые толкают на рынок модели для «днищенских» ноутбуков, заведомо понимая, что такие процессоры непригодны для использования в современных условиях, Microsoft меру знает и палку не перегибает. Базовая редакция Home любой из версий Виндовс способна в полной мере удовлетворить потребности обывателя.

Итак, какие существуют редакции Виндовс 10?

Home

Home (Домашняя) – базовый набор возможностей «Десятки» с урезанными функциями редакции Pro как то: групповая политика, BitLocker, Hyper-V, средства удалённого подключения, подключение к Azure AD и т.п.  Home также ограничена в возможности отложить системные обновления на определённый срок, как это можно делать в редакциях выше. Это бюджетный вариант законного использования системы, но не самый дешёвый.

Home Single Language

Производная от Home подредакция Home Single Language (Домашняя для одного языка) ограничена использованием Windows только в рамках одного системного языка. У неё самый дешёвый лицензионный ключ.

Pro

Pro (Профессиональная) – редакция с оптимальной подборкой функционала для продвинутых пользователей.

Pro for Workstations

Pro for Workstations (Профессиональная для рабочих станций) – продвинутая подредакция для мощных компьютеров, в частности, для серверного оборудования. Появилась вместе с осенним крупным апдейтом Fall Creators Update. Её ключевой особенностью является улучшенная надёжность хранения данных, в частности, работа с файловой системой ReFS.

Enterprise

Enterprise (Корпоративная) – редакция для организаций, предусматривающая поверх возможностей Pro усиленные технологии безопасности и функционал, предназначенный для системщиков-профессионалов. У «Корпоративной» есть урезанная функционально и с долгосрочной задержкой поставки обновлений подредакция LTSB для предприятий и сервисов, коим нужна стабильная среда для функционирования техники. Microsoft не продаёт Enterprise обычным пользователям, только юридическим лицам по подписке. Компания заявляет, что покупка этой редакции частными лицами невозможна в принципе, однако в Интернете купить лицензию для Enterprise можно сплошь и рядом. И, естественно, далеко не все точки продаж цифровых ключей будут требовать от нас подтверждения о причастности к сфере хозяйствования.

Enterprise multi-session

Enterprise multi-session, ранее известная как Enterprise for Virtual Desktops — подредакция Enterprise, заточенная под работу операционной системы по типу узла сеанса удалённого рабочего стола.

IoT Enterprise
IoT Enterprise — подредакция Enterprise, заточенная под работу на устройствах фиксированного назначения (терминалы, вывески, почтоматы, телекоммуникационные системы, торговое, медицинкое, бортовое, транспортное и пр. оборудование)

Education

Education (Образовательная) – это, по сути, та же редакция Enterprise, только с возможностью удаления голосового ассистента Кортаны и невозможностью перехода на LTSB. Главное отличие Education – её ориентация на рынок образовательных учреждений и в связи с этим распространение по цене, в разы меньшей, нежели Enterprise. Приобрести редакцию могут ВУЗы, ПТУ, библиотеки, музеи, благотворительные организации, преподавательский состав учебных заведений и сами студенты, если они не заочники. Условием приобретения редакции является право компании Microsoft требовать документального подтверждения соответствующего статуса покупателя.

S

S – редакция, урезанная в части недоступности десктопного функционала. Её специфика детально описывается в этой статье. Редакция более не существует.

.


N и KN

Windows N – это не отдельная редакция, даже не подредакция, это разновидность Home и Pro без Windows Media Player и ещё некоторых компонентов. Урезанную сборку Microsoft вынуждена была создать в 2004 году в соответствии с требованием Европейской Комиссии, ставшей на защиту интересов сторонних европейских разработчиков, что выпускали свои мультимедийные продукты.

Windows KN также появилась в принудительном порядке. Через пару лет после европейского прецедента решение против Microsoft вынесла Южнокорейская Торговая комиссия, удовлетворив иск разработчика Daum Communications и обязав софтверного гиганта выпускать на южнокорейский рынок сборку операционной системы без штатного проигрывателя и Instant Messenger (мессенджера на борту Windows XP).

В версии Windows 10 сборки N и KN не предусматривают предустановленных приложений Windows Media Player, Groove Music, «Кино и ТВ», «Запись голоса» и «Скайп». Также не работают функции синхронизации системы, веб-камера, Cortana, открытие PDF-файлов в Microsoft Edge и прочие вещи. Windows 10 N и KN предназначены, соответственно, для Европы и Южной Кореи – территориальных юрисдикций органов, вынесших решения против Microsoft. И поскольку существование этих сборок носит принудительный характер, естественно, компания о них без надобности не распространяет информацию.

Если мы откроем свойства «Десятки», в графе характеристик увидим отметку о её версии и сборке.

Номер сборки отражает информацию об определённом наборе функционала Windows 10 и меняется часто, по мере внедрения обновлений в стабильную ветвь после их «обкатки» в рамках программы Windows Insider. Номера версий «Десятки» меняются реже, их смена приурочена к серии функциональных обновлений, выпускаемых каждые полгода. Порядковые номера версий не носят последовательный характер, в них заключена информация о месяце или полугодии и годе выпуска. Кроме номеров, у версий есть названия – технические (для разработчиков Microsoft и инсайдеров) и носящие название самих полугодичных функциональных обновлений (простые понятия для обычных пользователей). Версий Windows 10 много:

  • 1507, Threshold 1 – первое обновление «Десятки», вышедшее в июле 2015 г.;
  • 1511, Threshold 2, по-простому November Update – второе обновление, вышедшее в ноябре 2015 г.;
  • 1607, Redstone 1, по-простому Anniversary Update – третье обновление, вышедшее в июле 2016 г.
  • 1703, Redstone 2, по-простому Creators Update – четвёртое обновление, вышедшее в марте 2017 г.;
  • 1709, Redstone 3, по-простому Fall Creators Update – пятое обновление, вышедшее в октябре 2017 г.;
  • 1803, Redstone 4, по-простому April 2018 Update – шестое обновление, вышедшее в апреле 2018 г.; 
  • 1809, Redstone 5, по-простому October 2018 Update – седьмое обновление, вышедшее в октябре 2018 г.;
  • 1903, 19H1, по-простому May 2019 Update – восьмое обновление, вышедшее в мае 2019 г.;
  • 1909, Vanadium или 19H2, по-простому November 2019 Update – девятое обновление, вышедшее в ноябре 2019 г.;
  • 2004, 20H1, по-простому May 2020 Update – десятое обновление, вышедшее в мае 2020 г.;
  • 2009, 20H2, Windows 10 «Manganese» — одиннадцатое незначительное обновление, вышедшее в октябре 2020 г.

Вот сколько много щупалец у гигантского спрута под названием Windows 10.

Windows 10 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. It was released in July 2015.

Channels

Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in three different channels (previously «rings»).[1] Insiders in the Dev Channel (previously Fast ring) receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel (previously Slow ring), but might experience more bugs and other issues.[2][3] Insiders in the Release Preview Channel (previously Release Preview ring) do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.[4]

PC version history

Mainstream builds of Windows 10 are labeled «YYMM», with YY representing the two-digit year and MM representing the month of planned release (for example, version 1507 refers to builds which initially released in July 2015). Starting with version 20H2, Windows 10 release nomenclature changed from the year and month pattern to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).[5]

Version 1507 (original release)

Version 1511 (November Update)

The second stable build of Windows 10 is version 1511 (build number 10586), known as the November Update. It was codenamed «Threshold 2» (TH2) during development. This version was distributed via Windows Update on November 12, 2015. It contains various improvements to the operating system, its user interface, bundled services, as well as the introduction of Skype-based universal messaging apps, and the Windows Store for Business and Windows Update for Business features.[6][7][8][9]

On November 21, 2015, the November Update was temporarily pulled from public distribution.[10][11] The upgrade was re-instated on November 24, 2015, with Microsoft stating that the removal was due to a bug that caused privacy and data collection settings to be reset to defaults when installing the upgrade.[12]

Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)

The third stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1607, known as the Anniversary Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 1» (RS1) during development. This version was released on August 2, 2016, a little over one year after the first stable release of Windows 10.[13][14][15][16] The Anniversary Update was originally thought to have been set aside for two feature updates. While both were originally to be released in 2016, the second was moved into 2017 so that it would be released in concert with that year’s wave of Microsoft first-party devices.[17][18][14]

The Anniversary Update introduces new features such as the Windows Ink platform, which eases the ability to add stylus input support to Universal Windows Platform apps and provides a new «Ink Workspace» area with links to pen-oriented apps and features,[19][14] enhancements to Cortana’s proactive functionality,[20] a dark user interface theme mode, a new version of Skype designed to work with the Universal Windows Platform, improvements to Universal Windows Platform intended for video games,[13] and offline scanning using Windows Defender.[21] The Anniversary Update also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux, a new component that provides an environment for running Linux-compatible binary software in an Ubuntu-based user mode environment.[22]

On new installations of Windows 10 on systems with Secure Boot enabled, all kernel-mode drivers issued after July 29, 2015 must be digitally signed with an Extended Validation Certificate issued by Microsoft.[23]

This version is the basis for «LTSB 2016», the first upgrade to the LTSB since Windows 10’s release. The first LTSB release, based on RTM (version 1507), has been retroactively named «LTSB 2015».

Version 1703 (Creators Update)

The fourth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1703, known as the Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 2» (RS2) during development. This version was announced on October 26, 2016,[24][25] and was released for general availability on April 11, 2017,[26][27] and for manual installation via Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool tools on April 5, 2017.[28] This update primarily focuses on content creation, productivity, and gaming features—with a particular focus on virtual and augmented reality (including HoloLens and virtual reality headsets) and on aiding the generation of three-dimensional content.

It supports a new virtual reality workspace designed for use with headsets; Microsoft announced that several OEMs planned to release VR headsets designed for use with the Creators Update.[27][26][29]

Controls for the Game Bar and Game DVR feature have moved to the Settings app, while a new «Game Mode» option allows resources to be prioritized towards games.[30] Integration with Microsoft acquisition Mixer (formerly Beam)[31] was added for live streaming.[30] The themes manager moved to Settings app, and custom accent colors are now possible.[30] The new app Paint 3D allows users to produce artwork using 3D models; the app is designed to make 3D creation more accessible to mainstream users.[32]

Windows 10’s privacy settings have more detailed explanations of data that the operating system may collect. Additionally, the «enhanced» level of telemetry collection was removed.[30] Windows Update notifications may now be «snoozed» for a period of time, the «active hours» during which Windows will not try to install updates may now extend up to 18 hours in length, and updates may be paused for up to seven days.[30] Windows Defender has been replaced by the universal app Windows Defender Security Center.[30] Devices may optionally be configured to prevent use of software from outside of Microsoft Store, or warn before installation of apps from outside of Microsoft Store.[33] «Dynamic Lock» allows a device to automatically lock if it is outside of the proximity of a designated Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone.[34] A «Night Light» feature was added, which allows the user to change the color temperature of the display to the red part of the spectrum at specific times of day (similarly to the third-party software f.lux).[35]

Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)

The fifth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1709, known as the Fall Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 3» (RS3) during development. This version was released on October 17, 2017.[36][37][38] Version 1709 introduces a new feature known as «My People», where shortcuts to «important» contacts can be displayed on the taskbar. Notifications involving these contacts appear above their respective pictures, and users can communicate with the contact via either Skype, e-mail, or text messaging (integrating with Android and Windows 10 Mobile devices). Support for additional services, including Xbox, Skype for Business, and third-party integration, are to be added in the future. Files can also be dragged directly to the contact’s picture to share them.[39] My People was originally announced for Creators Update, but was ultimately held over to the next release,[40][41] and made its first public appearance in Build 16184 in late April 2017.[37] A new «Files-on-Demand» feature for OneDrive serves as a partial replacement for the previous «placeholders» function.[42]

It also introduces a new security feature known as «controlled folder access», which can restrict the applications allowed to access specific folders. This feature is designed mainly to defend against file-encrypting ransomware.[43] This is also the first release that introduces DCH drivers.[citation needed]

Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)

The sixth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1803, known as the April 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 4» (RS4) during development. This version was released as a manual download on April 30, 2018, with a broad rollout on May 8, 2018.[44][45] This update was originally meant to be released on April 10, but was delayed because of a bug which could increase chances of a «Blue Screen of Death» (Stop error).[46]

The most significant feature of this build is Timeline, which is displayed within Task View. It allows users to view a list of recently-used documents and websites from supported applications («activities»). When users consent to Microsoft data collection via Microsoft Graph, activities can also be synchronized from supported Android and iOS devices.[47][48][49][42]

Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)

The seventh stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1809, known as the October 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 5» (RS5) during development. This version was released on October 2, 2018.[50] Highlighted features on this build include updates to the clipboard function (including support for clipboard history and syncing with other devices), SwiftKey virtual keyboard, Snip & Sketch, and File Explorer supporting the dark color scheme mode.[51]

On October 6, 2018, the build was pulled by Microsoft following isolated reports of the update process deleting files from user directories.[52] It was re-released to Windows Insider channel on October 9, with Microsoft citing a bug in OneDrive’s Known Folder Redirection function as the culprit.[53][54]

On November 13, 2018, Microsoft resumed the rollout of 1809 for a small percentage of users.[55][56]

The long term servicing release, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, is based on this version and is equivalent in terms of features.[57]

Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)

The eighth stable build of Windows 10, version 1903, codenamed «19H1«, was released for general availability on May 21, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 8, 2019.[58] Because of new practices introduced after the problems affecting the 1809 update, Microsoft used an intentionally slower Windows Update rollout process.[59][60][61]

New features in the update include a redesigned search tool—separated from Cortana and oriented towards textual queries, a new «Light» theme (set as default on Windows 10 Home) using a white-colored taskbar with dark icons, the addition of symbols and kaomoji to the emoji input menu, the ability to «pause» system updates, automated «Recommended troubleshooting», integration with Google Chrome on Timeline via an extension, support for SMS-based authentication on accounts linked to Microsoft accounts, and the ability to run Windows desktop applications within the Windows Mixed Reality environment (previously restricted to universal apps and SteamVR only). A new feature on Pro, Education, and Enterprise known as Windows Sandbox allows users to run applications within a secured Hyper-V environment.[62][63]

A revamped version of Game Bar was released alongside 1903, which redesigns it into a larger overlay with a performance display, Xbox friends list and social functionality, and audio and streaming settings.[64]

Version 1909 (November 2019 Update)

The ninth stable build of Windows 10, version 1909, codenamed «19H2«, was released to the public on November 12, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since August 26, 2019.[65] Unlike previous updates, this one was released as a minor service update without major new features.[66]

Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

The tenth stable build of Windows 10, version 2004, codenamed «20H1«, was released to the public on May 27, 2020 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 16, 2020.[67] New features included faster and easier access to Bluetooth settings and pairing, improved Kaomojis, renamable virtual desktops, DirectX12 Ultimate, a chat-based UI for Cortana, greater integration with Android phones on the Your Phone app, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2), and WSL 2 version includes a custom Linux kernel, unlike older WSL, the ability to use Windows Hello without the need for a password, improved Windows Search with integration with File Explorer, a cloud download option to reset Windows, accessibility improvements, and the ability to view disk drive type and discrete graphics card temperatures in Task Manager.[68][69]

Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update)

The eleventh stable build of Windows 10, version 20H2, was released to the public on October 20, 2020 after being on the Beta Channel since June 16, 2020.[70] New features include new theme-aware tiles in the Start Menu, new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge (such as a price comparison tool, Alt+Tab ↹ integration for tab switching, and easy access to pinned tabs), a new out-of-box experience with more personalization for the taskbar, notifications improvements, improvements to tablet mode, improvements to Modern Device Management, and the move of the System tab in Control Panel to the About page in Settings. This is the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Edge browser by default.[71][72][73]

Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update)

The twelfth stable build of Windows 10, version 21H1, was released to the public on May 18, 2021 after being on the Beta Channel since February 17, 2021.[74] This update included a multi-camera support for Windows Hello, a «News and Interests» feature on the taskbar and performance improvements to Windows Defender Application Guard and WMI Group Policy Service.[75]

Version 21H2 (November 2021 Update)

The Windows 10 November 2021 Update[76] (codenamed «21H2»[77]) is the twelfth major update to Windows 10 as the cumulative update to the May 2021 Update. It carries the build number 10.0.19044. The first preview was released on July 15, 2021 to Insiders who opted in to Release Preview Channel that failed to meet minimum system requirements for Windows 11.[78][79] The update began rolling out on November 16, 2021. Notable changes in the November 2021 Update include:[77][80]

  • GPU compute support in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW) deployments
  • New simplified passwordless deployment models for Windows Hello for Business
  • Support for WPA3 Hash-to-Element (H2E) standards

Вчера, 29 июля, новая операционная система Microsoft Windows 10 официально вышла в свет. Для настольных компьютеров предлагается четыре версии Windows 10:

• Home (Домашняя) — для домашнего использования;
• Pro (Профессиональная) — для малого бизнеса;
• Enterprise (Корпоративная) — для среднего и крупного бизнеса;
• Education (для образовательных учреждений) — та же версия Enterprise, только предназначенная для использования в учебных заведениях в образовательных целях.

Тем, кто подумывает о переходе на новую ОС и стоит перед выбором, предлагаю список различий между этими версиями.

Базовые компоненты Window 10 Home Window 10 Pro Window 10 Enterprise Window 10 Education

Как видите, базовые функции у всех версий одинаковы, различия только в бизнес-компонентах. Также при сравнении функций надо учитывать, что некоторые из них (напр. Continuum) должны поддерживаться устройством, для других требуется специальное оборудование, например для Windows Hello нужен сканер отпечатков пальцев, ИК-датчик с подсветкой и прочее биометрическое оборудование.

И немного о том, как заполучить новую ОС. Напомню, что у владельцев лицензионной версии Windows 7 или Windows 8.1 есть возможность бесплатного обновления, остальные могут просто приобрести одну из версий. Только Windows 10 Home и Pro доступны для приобретения в розничной продаже. Windows 10 Enterprise доступна по корпоративным лицензиям, а Windows 10 Education — по программам корпоративного лицензирования для учебных заведений.

На данный момент цены на Windows 10 не очень гуманны (на мой взгляд), например домашняя версия Windows 10 стоит 5790 руб, а версия Pro аж 9900 руб. Однако можно немного сэкономить, купив Windows 8.1 с возможностью бесплатного апгрейда до Windows 10.

Ну и конечно можно загрузить 90-дневную ознакомительную версию Windows 10 и попробовать все ее возможности, либо присоединиться к программе Windows Insider и получить Windows 10 бесплатно 🙂

Windows 10 Logo

Windows 10 is an operating system developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an operating system as a service that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace, or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft’s Windows and Devices Group, argued that the goal of this model was to reduce fragmentation across the Windows platform.

It has been retroactively named «version 1507» by Microsoft per its naming conventions for future stable releases of the operating system. The final release was made available to Windows Insiders on July 15, 2015, followed by a public release on July 29, 2015.

В операционной системе Windows 10 имеются разные редакции (версии) системы для использования на компьютерах, различающиеся по своим функциональным возможностям. В статье мы подробно остановимся на различиях редакций ОС Windows 10.

На большинстве компьютеров, покупаемых в розницу (ноутбуки, нетбуки, моноблоки, гибридные планшеты, системные блоки настольных компьютеров), уже установлена производителем устройства определенная редакция Windows 10. В этом случае, у покупателя нет выбора, приходиться довольствоваться тем, что есть.

Содержание:

  1. Редакции Windows 10 Home
  2. Редакции Windows 10 Pro
  3. Редакции Windows 10 Enterprise
  4. Другие версии Windows 10
  5. Различие редакций Windows 10
  6. Сравнение версий Windows 10 в таблице
  7. Выводы статьи

Пользователи, покупающие устройство без операционной системы (ноутбук, готовый системный блок, собранный системный блок и т. д.), самостоятельно устанавливают на компьютер какую-либо версию операционной системы Windows. Большинство пользователей выбирают современную операционную систему Windows 10 для установки на компьютер. Перед установкой системы, встает вопрос: какую редакцию Windows 10 выбрать, чем отличаются редакции Windows между собой.

В данной статье мы рассмотрим редакции Windows 10 для ПК и ноутбуков, не затрагивая мобильные и серверные версии Windows. Пользователи, не знающие подробностей о версии Windows 10, установленной на компьютере, могут легко узнать редакцию системы, прочитав эту статью.

Microsoft с момента выхода Windows 10 в июле 2015 года, время от времени, добавляет новые редакции операционной системы. Помимо разделения на версии, каждая редакция имеет номер сборки, номера сборок меняются после установки обновлений системы.

Основные версии Windows 10 разделены на три категории, отличающиеся друг от друга функциональными возможностями:

  • Windows 10 Home (Windows 10 Домашняя).
  • Windows 10 Pro (Windows 10 Профессиональная).
  • Windows 10 Enterprise (Windows 10 Корпоративная).

От основных категорий Windows 10 отделяются производные категории (подвиды основных версий), в которых основная версия имеет несколько вариантов производных редакций системы. Выбор редакции Windows 10, зависит от потребностей конкретного пользователя. Сравнение редакций Windows 10 между собой в виде таблицы, вы увидите в конце статьи.

выбор операционной системы

Существует программа Windows 10 Insider Preview для предварительной оценки новых выпусков Windows 10. Пользователи, выполняющие функции тестирования, бесплатно получают предварительные версии Windows для использования на своих компьютерах. Взамен получает телеметрию об использовании системы, это позволяет проверить работу системы с новыми функциями, выявить неисправности и устранить неполадки в следующих сборках Виндовс 10.

Для продажи в розницу поступают только 3 версии Windows 10 для установки на новые компьютеры:

  • Windows 10 Домашняя (Windows 10 Home).
  • Windows 10 Профессиональная (Windows 10 Pro).
  • Windows 10 S.

Версия Windows 10 Enterprise устанавливается на компьютеры только в качестве обновления с редакции Windows 10 Pro. Остальные версии Microsoft поставляет производителям оборудования (ПК, ноутбуков) для установки на устройства, перед продажей потребителям.

Оригинальную операционную систему Windows 10 можно скачать с официального сайта Майкрософт, способами, описанными в этой статье.

Редакции Windows 10 Home

Для домашних пользователей выпущена редакция Windows 10, в которой присутствуют все базовые основные возможности операционной системы. Дома не нужны функции системы, применяемые на предприятиях, поэтому нет смысла переплачивать за лишнюю функциональность. Данная редакция хорошо подойдет для домашнего использования. В редакции Windows 10 Home применяется автоматическое обновление.

Версии Windows 10 для домашних пользователей подразделяются на следующие редакции:

  • Windows 10 Домашняя (Windows 10 Home).
  • Windows 10 Домашняя для одного языка (Windows 10 Home Single Language; Windows 10 Home SL; Windows 10 Single Language; Windows 10 SL) — версия аналогичная домашней редакции, отличающаяся лишь тем, что здесь нельзя поменять язык операционной системы. Очень часто данная редакция устанавливается на ноутбуках и нетбуках. Для производителей это более дешевый вариант лицензирования Майкрософт, чем Windows 10 Home.
  • Windows 10 Домашняя с Bing — в этой версии нельзя поменять поисковую систему Bing в браузерах Microsoft Edge и Internet Explorer (ничто не мешает использовать другой браузер). Данная редакция устанавливается на некоторых ноутбуках.

Редакции Windows 10 Pro

Для предприятий малого бизнеса и домашних пользователей, которым необходимы расширенные возможности системы, предлагается профессиональная версия Windows 10, которая, в свою очередь, подразделяется на несколько редакций. В этой версии доступен гипервизор (виртуальная машина) Hyper-V, BitLocker и другие функции системы.
