In the blog post today for Windows 10 Insider Preview build 16273, Microsoft acknowledged that Windows 10 S is Insider-Ready. While it’s a bit exciting for those who are just installing Windows 10 S, this is not exactly a new feature. Ever since Windows 10 S was made available for download on August 1st, the Insider Program feature was always been accessible in the same menu in Windows 10 S as it is in other versions of Windows 10.

Anyway, Microsoft is now highlighting how Windows Insiders to install Windows 10 S on their PCs. In today’s Insider blog post, the company offered up the following advice to prospective Windows 10 S users:

Windows 10 S brings the experiences Windows users know and love, streamlined for security and performance…. Windows Insiders can try Windows 10 S on their PCs and join the Windows Insider Program via Settings > Update & security > Windows Insider Program to receive Insider Preview builds for Windows 10 S just as they would on other editions of Windows 10.

To try Windows 10 S on your PC, you must first be running Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise. If you meet these requirements, you can download the Windows 10 S installer to proceed. We previously compiled a guide on how you can install Windows 10 S, so feel free to check it out.

Keep in mind that Windows 10 S will only work with Windows Store apps, and it only is supported on certain devices.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
