Better learning outcomes
Windows 10 Education provides powerful learning experiences with a wide range of tools for education. The education-ready Windows Store has a broad selection of apps to provide rich resources for researching, teaching, and learning. Windows devices allow for powerful multi-tasking, live collaboration (OneNote, OneDrive, Office 365), and on-screen inking with best in class support.
Affordable devices and solutions
Windows has always been about providing the right device for the right need, while fitting within school budgets. Windows devices work with a broad range of peripherals to support all learning styles and existing computing environments. Schools can save money by taking advantage of Volume Licensing options for education and new student use benefits available with Windows 10 Education.
Safety and security
Institutions require manageable identities and secure devices focused on threat and malware resistance by design. We have designed Windows 10 to meet these needs. Windows 10 Education has strong malware resistance with Device Guard, protects data with BitLocker, and simplifies Office 365, Windows Store, and device log in with one identity through Azure Active Directory.
Simplified deployment and management
Whether it is one classroom or 100; one teacher or 1,000, Windows 10 Education allows schools to deploy and manage their way. Deployment is simplified with in-place upgrades and dynamic provisioning, and deployment costs are reduced with strong app and device compatibility. Schools can choose cloud or on-premise management solutions best for them.
It just works
Windows 10 combines the Windows you already know and adds great improvements you’ll love. Technologies like InstantGo1 let you boot up and resume quickly. And Windows 10 has more built-in security features than ever to help protect against malicious software.
Multi-doing
Multi-task like a master with the ability to snap four things on the screen at once. Screen getting crowded? Create virtual desktops to get more space and work with just the items you want. Plus, all your notifications and key settings are collected on one easy-to-reach screen.
Microsoft Edge
It’s the all-new browser designed to make the web work the way you do. Write or type directly on webpages and share your mark-ups with others. You’ll like the reading view that clears away distractions. There’s also an improved address bar to help you find things faster.
Continuum
The best screen is always the one you’re on, because Windows 10 optimizes your experience for your activity and device. Onscreen features adapt for easy navigation and apps scale smoothly from the smallest to the largest displays.
Uniquely yours
Your Windows 10 device recognizes you and acknowledges your presence in truly personal ways. With Windows Hello, your device greets you by name and lights up in recognition, waving you through log-in and freeing you from having to remember or type in a password.
Gaming & Xbox
Play your Xbox One games on your Windows 10 PC, laptop, or tablet. Use the Game DVR feature to record your greatest hero moves and send to your friends instantly, without leaving your game.
