Windows 10 is Microsoft's new operating system designed to blur the line between desktops and tablets and mobile devices.


This version contains the following innovations:
new browser Microsoft Edge
built-in .NET 4.6 and DirectX 12.0
Start menu with the ability to return to Windows 8 mode

New version of the popular operating system from Microsoft was called Windows 10, although the previous major release was under named Windows 8. The move straight to Windows 10 reflects the company's desire to distance itself from the not very popular previous version. This is why the ninth version was reportedly skipped: the transition from the eighth directly to the tenth is intended to symbolize a huge step forward towards an orientation towards the Internet and mobile users. Microsoft called Windows 10 "the most powerful platform in history." The presenter, Microsoft Vice President of Operating Systems Terry Meyerson, said that Windows 10 will be installed on a wider range of devices various types compared with previous versions. These devices, according to the presentation, now include not only desktop PCs, laptops and tablets, but also smartphones and TVs.

operating room Windows system is the most popular in the world. It works on 90% of devices that belong to housewives, office workers, large companies, schools, IT professionals and developers. Each category of user uses the computer in its own way. For some, a web browser is enough and Office package, someone needs more fine tuning systems, and some simply need powerful defense mechanisms. In this regard, several editions of Windows have emerged, differing in different functionality, license price and purpose. In this article, we will look at how they differ, and also explain what certain terms mean that you may come across on the Internet.

What editions of Windows 10 are there?

There are only 6 main editions of desktop Windows 10:

  • Home Single Language (Home SL)- Homemade for one language.
  • Home- Homemade.
  • Pro- Professional.
  • Enterprise- Corporate.
  • Education- For educational institutions.
  • S- publication for students and educational institutions.
  • Lean- not yet officially released, but only an edition under development for tablets with 16 GB internal memory. Information on it will appear later.

Of course, there are other highly specialized editions. For example, the operating conditions for IT companies in China are slightly different than in other countries, so Microsoft created special version Windows 10 - Windows 10 China. However, an ordinary user from a CIS country is unlikely to encounter this, so disassemble similar systems we will not.

Note that Windows 10 editions often include Windows 10 Mobile, which is available in two versions:

  • Windows 10 Mobile.
  • Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise.

In fact, Windows 10 for smartphones is a separate operating system, so we won’t talk about it here either.

What is the difference between different editions of Windows 10

There are quite a lot of differences between the editions, but not everyone can understand them. We will look at the available editions based on a couple of criteria that can influence your choice of one or another Windows 10.

Where to buy a license for Windows 10, and how much does it cost?

In this section we will consider the possibility of purchasing a license for a particular edition of the system from the point of view of an ordinary user.

  • Home SL: this edition is the cheapest, but buy a license for it ordinary user it is forbidden. Microsoft licenses Windows 10 Home SL only to manufacturing companies that can pre-install it on tablets or laptops.
  • Home: the most common in the world Windows version 10. A license for it can be purchased by any user in Microsoft Store or Microsoft partner stores. The price in the USA is $120, but in other regions it may differ due to differences in exchange rates. The Russian Microsoft Store offers to buy Windows 10 Home for 8,699 rubles.
  • Pro: a more expensive edition created for IT professionals, developers and small organizations. Also available to every user. The original price is $200, but Russian Microsoft Store sells Windows 10 Pro for 15,299 rubles. We also note that a paid upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro is possible - to do this, just type the request Windows 10 Pro V Windows Store.
  • Enterprise: edition created specifically for corporate clients. A license for it can only be purchased by legal entities.
  • Education: publication for educational institutions. The subtleties of its licensing are quite complex, but the main thing is that it is also inaccessible to the average user.
  • S: This edition is also aimed at educational institutions and is not available to ordinary users. However, it can be preinstalled on laptops and tablets (in particular, Surface Laptop). In this case, the user will be able to upgrade to the Pro edition for $49.99.

In which editions can you disable Windows 10 updates?

Windows 10 users quite often complain about automatic update systems. Windows 10 itself downloads and installs security updates, bug fixes and new driver versions. Many people want it because possible problems V latest builds systems and drivers. Let's figure out how you can influence this process in different editions of Windows 10.

  • Home SL: no way. There's absolutely nothing you can do with updates. The system will automatically download updates and install them within 7 days.
  • Home: Similar to Home SL, there are no ways to control the update center.
  • Pro: in this edition you can disable driver updates, postpone any updates for 35 days, limit automatic download updates, and also switch to the corporate update branch - Current Branch For Business (instead of the standard Current Branch). New to the business branch Windows builds 10 are released only after careful testing by Microsoft and ordinary users, so the likelihood of errors in them is minimal.
  • Enterprise: In addition to the Pro Edition features, you get the option to switch to the LTSB (Long Term Servicing Branch). Updates come here from long delays, and large updates - with huge ones. All for the sake of stability.
  • Education: everything is the same here Pro edition.
  • S: Update settings in Windows 10 S are also completely similar to the Pro edition.

What features differ between Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise and other editions?

Let's look at others functional differences editions of Windows 10.

  • Home SL: This edition is the most limited. You only get the basic features of Windows 10. A rather unpleasant aspect is the lack official opportunity changing the system language. However, it is still possible.
  • Home: The functionality of this edition is absolutely similar to Home SL, with the exception of changing the main system language: in Home it is possible without problems.
  • Pro: Compared to Windows 10 Home, you get quite a lot additional functions. Note the availability of the editor group policies, which allows for flexible setup systems, built-in mechanism Bitlocker encryption, the ability to activate and . There are also some corporate features available that are not useful to the average user.
  • Enterprise: the most functional edition. In addition to Windows capabilities 10 Pro has powerful protection mechanisms (though you need to learn how to use them), Direct functions Access, Windows-To-Go (the ability to create a USB flash drive with Windows 10 that can be used on different computers), BranchCache and more.
  • Education: Functionality is similar to the Enterprise edition.
  • S: main feature this edition is blocking the installation classical programs. You will only be able to download apps from the Windows Store. In addition, the ability to change standard browser(Microsoft Edge) and search engine(Yandex in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Bing in the USA and European countries). All other functionality is similar to the Pro edition, with the exception of a few proprietary features created specifically for educational institutions.

How to Download Windows 10 Home SL, Home, Pro and Enterprise ISO Images

We have already told how from the official Microsoft website. Let's figure out which sites listed in the corresponding article can be used to download specific editions.

Official site

On this site, any user can download ISO Windows 10 Home SL, Home and Pro without any problems. To download the desired edition, select the following image:

  • Home SL: Windows 10 for one language.
  • Home / Pro: Windows 10. You can select a specific edition when installing the system from this image.

TechBench website by WZT

On a resource created by amateurs, you can easily download images of Windows 10 Home SL, Home/Pro, as well as Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education. You don't need instructions for this: everything is pretty obvious.

Third Party Resources

If you are using other image sources, look at the ISO name or description. Usually its author indicates the built-in publications.

What do the letters N, KN and LTSB mean in the name of the image?

Even on the official Microsoft website you can see images of Windows 10 N or Windows 10 KN. Windows 10 LTSB can also be found on various resources. Let's explain what these letters mean.

What is Windows 10 N

Postfix N denotes a different set of programs built into the system, in particular, the absence Windows components Media Player. This subtype of editions was created after Microsoft's litigation in the European Union.

Microsoft provides images of Windows 10 Home N and Pro N to ordinary users. For people from most CIS countries, it is enough to know that Windows 10 N is not available in Russian or Ukrainian, so its use in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine or Kazakhstan does not make sense. If on some third party resources If you still see the N-image in Russian, then know that this language is integrated into the image by its author, which is why you may have problems later.

What is Windows 10 KN

KN editions are similar to N editions with the only difference: while N editions are created for EU countries, KN ​​editions are only available for Korea and only in Korean.

What is Windows 10 LTSB

We have already mentioned the term LTSB above as one of the Update options in Windows 10 Enterprise. Windows 10 LTSB images are created only for corporate users. Their main features are the following:

  • Lack of any built-in metro programs, including including Windows Store and Microsoft Edge.
  • The default update center is set to the LTSB branch.

If you don't want to deal with the lack of metro programs, then you definitely shouldn't use these images. If you need as much as possible clean Windows 10 then best option you won't find it. Just keep in mind that licenses for this version of Windows are only sold legal entities, and you will have to do something with the activation.

What does OEM, Box, Retail, FPP and VL mean?

While downloading images on the Internet or simply discussing them with someone, you may come across terms like OEM, Box or Retail. They are usually used in the context of Windows 10 editions, and many consider them to be separate editions. In fact, all these names have nothing to do with the editions of Windows 10 and, accordingly, the functionality of the system, but indicate Windows license delivery channel. Let's look at this point in more detail.

What is an OEM license

OEM license- Windows license, which is tied to motherboard devices. An ordinary user cannot purchase such a license; it is available only to PC manufacturers at a fairly low prices(usually $10-20 depending on the edition of Windows).

The catch with an OEM license is that according to license agreement it cannot be transferred to other devices.

What is a Retail, Box or FPP license?

Retail license- a Windows license that is not tied to anything and can be transferred to other devices. Regular users purchasing Windows 10 Home or Pro receives this type of license.

Since such licenses are most often sold in boxes (with a disk or flash drive), the name is also common Box (box license) or FPP (Full Packaged Product). Note that in the context of Windows 10 licensing, the concepts Retail, Box And FPP mean the same thing.

What is a VL license

If we consider licenses for Windows 10, then VL denotes a volume license that is not available to ordinary users: it is intended only for large enterprise customers. Its peculiarity is the ability to activate several hundred systems at once with the same license key.

What is a Not For Resale license?

If you have come across a similar term somewhere (although it is quite difficult to come across it by chance), then know that Not For Sale means literally Not for resale.

Is the functionality of Windows 10 OEM and Retail different?

No, it's no different. Functionality and Windows setup 10 OEM or Windows 10 Retail does not depend in any way on the license delivery channel for it.

What are RTM, Final, RC and Insider

In addition to abbreviations indicating Windows 10 license distribution channels, you may come across the terms RTM, Final, RC and others. As with OEM/Retail, they are in no way associated with Windows 10 editions, but indicate the system version. Let us give an explanation of the main notation.

What is RTM, Final or Gold

RTM (Release To Manufacturing, release) - Final version system, which is released as official. Words Final or Gold in this context they mean the same thing.

What is RC or Insider

R.C.(Release Candidate) - a beta version of the system, which may contain shortcomings and bugs. This abbreviation was applied to Windows 7 and Windows 8. Starting with Windows 10, the designation is used Insider or Insider Preview. Insider builds are quite often unstable, so you should not install them unless absolutely necessary.

What is TH1, TH2, RS1, RS2 or RS3

Such terms refer to the codename of the version of Windows 10. We will provide information about all currently known versions of Windows 10, including codenames, version numbers and build numbers.

  • TH1 (Threshold 1)- version 1507 - assembly 10240 . Released in July 2015 under the name of the original version of Windows 10 ( IR). Status - RTM.

Now you know exactly how Windows 10 Home and Pro differ, and you also know how to distinguish the edition of Windows 10 from the license delivery channel or system version.

All versions of Windows were divided into several editions. The Windows 10 operating system was no exception and was divided into the following editions: home, professional, corporate and educational. But there is also a special version home edition.

Why do you need the Single Language edition?

The basic configuration of Windows is called “Home”. It has all the functions that an ordinary user has to deal with, and everything unnecessary (needed only by programmers or large companies) is absent. Due to this, its performance and safety increase, and the price decreases.

But in addition to the main version, the home edition has an additional one - Windows 10 Home for one language. Its only difference from the main edition is the inability to select the interface language after installation. In other characteristics, it is in no way inferior to the regular home version.

Having installed it, you can still switch the input language from English to Russian and back, but the interface language, that is, the language in which all system settings and messages from it are written, cannot be changed. Let's say when creating installation file(how to do it is described in the paragraph “Creating an installation file”) you select English language. As a result, you will have to work with the system only in English.

Why is such a version needed?

Initially this version The system was intended for underdeveloped countries in order to facilitate the installation process in them. It’s hard to come up with another use for it, so its only purpose is to protect inexperienced users from problems related to language settings. After all, a person may accidentally select the wrong language in the settings, and then will not be able to install the one that suits him, since the entire interface will be translated into a language that is incomprehensible to him.

Creating an installation file

If you decide to install a single language version on your or someone else's computer, you will need a flash drive with at least 4 GB of memory and formatted in FAT32 format. The installation process for this edition is no different from the regular installation procedure. home windows. The only thing that changes is that when creating the installation media, you must select a special version rather than the default one.

Select FAT32 format

All the methods described below will lead to the same result: you will receive a flash drive from which you can install Windows 10 Single Language on any computer, so you can use any method that is most suitable for you.

Via Media Creation Tools

Media program Creation Tools developed by Microsoft and distributed free of charge. It is intended specifically for recording a system image onto installation media.

  1. Go to official page dedicated to Windows 10 - https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10. Click on the “Download tool now” button to download the program. Once the file is downloaded, open it. The application does not require installation.
    Click the “Download tool now” button
  2. Specify that you want to create installation media and not upgrade this computer.
    Select the option “Create installation media”
  3. When you are asked to select characteristics created image, indicate the appropriate language and edition. Please note that the selected language will be the only one in your future system, and the Edition field should be set to "Windows 10 Home Single Language".
    We indicate the edition and release of the system

By selecting correct parameters, go to next step and complete the procedure for creating installation media, receiving prompts from the program. After completing all the steps described above, all you have to do is transfer the flash drive to the computer that needs to install the system and install the ISO image.

What to do if there is no suitable release

Some users are faced with the fact that in the “Edition” field there is no home edition for one language. There are two ways out of this situation: use the method described below, or use this instruction, which sometimes helps the desired version appear in the list.


Through a third party program

Windows application ISO Downloader- similar to the above program, but released third party developers, and not by Microsoft. Despite this, it helps download official clean images of Windows, including Windows 10. Another difference is that the application will be able to download the image, but will not be able to write it to a flash drive, so you will have to download another small one free utility Rufus who will do it.

  1. Launching Windows program ISO Downloader, indicate what you want to download Windows image 10, release - Windows 10 Home/Pro, language - Russian or the one most suitable for you. So far, it is not stated anywhere that you need an edition for one language; this choice will be made later. Click on the “Confirm” button and wait until the image file is downloaded.
    We indicate the required version and system language
  2. Open Rufus program, provide information about installation media and the path to the image file. Click on the “Start” button and wait until the program writes the image on its own. Specify the path to the media and image, start recording
  3. Start installation from a flash drive. At one of the steps you will be asked to select an edition. Select the Home Single Language version and continue installing it.
    We indicate the option “Home for one language” and continue the installation

Installing additional languages

Despite the fact that there is only one language in the edition for one language, you can install it yourself additional languages. To do this, you need to find a file of a suitable interface language for Windows 10 of your bit level (32 or 64-bit) on third-party sites, download it, and then follow these steps:

  1. In the search engine system line write the lpksetup request and run the found program. Launch the lpksetup application
  2. Choose the option to install new languages ​​rather than remove existing ones.
    Select the path “Install interface languages”
  3. Write down the path to the previously downloaded file and start the installation procedure.
    Specify the path to the file with the interface language
  4. When the process is finished, go to PC settings. Go to the Settings application
  5. Select the "Time and language" block.
    Open the “Time and Language” section
  6. Go to the “Region and language” sub-item and select from the list available languages the language you just installed. Done, after this the system interface will be translated into the selected language.
    Specify the appropriate interface language

System activation

There should be no problems with system activation, since Microsoft has already managed to debug the process. The home version for one language is activated with the same key as regular version Windows Home. To activate, you need a key, which you must buy on the official Microsoft website if you do not have one.


 Registering the key Windows activation 10 Home

You can perform activation during installation by entering the key at one of the stages. After the first connection to the Internet, the system will automatically check it, and if it passes the verification, the system will become activated. If you encounter any problems during the activation process, please contact technical support company (https://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru), operators will help resolve the error.

The single-language home version differs from the regular version only in the limited list of available interface languages. However, you can install additional languages ​​manually. You can install Windows Single Language using a system image created using the program Media Creation Tools or Windows ISO Downloader.

Windows 10 Home for one language is one of best versions An OS that is downloaded by more than half of all users. Single Language is easier and faster to install.

Many users have problems switching to new version operating system from Microsoft. However, they have the option to use the cheapest option. We are talking about downloading Windows 10 Home for one language. This version is the basic one, and it is already a kind of tradition for developers to offer a Single Language license at the lowest price among all the build options of their products.

The same edition is often installed on tablets and laptops, which can be seen in the windows of almost any more or less large store digital technology. A completely legal OEM license is attached to them with the possibility of receiving timely updates to the OS itself. Moreover, under the terms of such a sale, the seller undertakes to provide all possible technical support within the established warranty period. Therefore, for any question, including working with the operating system, the user will be able to contact service center.

In the case of the home version and the presence of one system language It makes no sense to talk about the presence of serious differences from other versions of this OS, since all editions and collections of the “tens” can be obtained by using our portal or on the official website of Microsoft. Therefore, it is worth moving on to working methods for obtaining the version you need.

Using a familiar one Media utilities Creation Tool. This software- the brainchild of the same company. Today it is also available in free access and is the most legal tool for obtaining almost all versions of Ten and installing updates for them. Of course, we need to talk separately about Educational and Corporate license, which are produced for a different type of market. It allows you to create an ISO image of the system and burn it to disk or flash media. It is also possible to create bootable flash drive, which will be UEFI compatible.

If the user cannot download Windows 10 Home for one language using the previous utility, then other software can come to his aid. This is Windows ISO Downloader, which can be considered a kind of backup airfield for unofficial downloads. With its help, it is just as easy to obtain distributions of all versions of the “ten” quite legally. It's just that the receiving channel is a little non-standard. However, using this utility allows the user to work with native images to install this operating system.

Differences between versions for one language

As for the ability to download Windows 10 Home for one language, such an image is available on our portal, but we send you to official portal, so in the end you still get a clean and original version - and in matters of the operating system this is important.

This OS version only has basic set, which includes:

  • Edge browser;
  • Voice assistant ;
  • Support for the “Hello” function, which allows you to log in using a photo of the user’s face or fingerprint;
  • IN Home version There are standard “Photos”, “Maps”, “Music”, “Calendar” and others.

As for the prefix “for one language,” everything is as simple as possible - this version has only one language. For example Russian or English. The disadvantage of this solution is that you do not have the opportunity to install a second language no matter how much you would like it. You can use different keyboard layouts, but you can't change the OS language. There is only unofficial ways, all of which imply serious changes within the operating system, which is not only bad, but also not within the control of everyone.

Therefore, if you decide to download Windows 10 Home, then perhaps you need to choose not the version for one language, but download the multi-language one, in this case you will spend a little more time downloading, but the result will be universal for all times. You can always download more required assemblies and install packages. Of course, we don’t want to limit you, and therefore we send you for the distribution directly to the official website, where you can choose the version that you need.
