Microsoft Will Fab Windows 10 Edition specifically for high-end PCs

Microsoft Will Fab Windows 10 Edition specifically for high-end PCs

It seems that Microsoft might be working on a Windows 10 pro edition that has been specifically optimized for PC workstations. This Windows 10 Pro version would be able to run four processors and would get Microsoft’s ReFS file system.

This particular version of Windows 10 will be named: ‘Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs’. The information became public after a twitter user made some MS slides. The user responded to other users who were analyzing an internal Windows 10 build, ‘Pro for Advanced PCs’, which Microsoft accidently released to testers, reports myce today.

This enthusiast Workstation mode would bring maximum capacity on heavy workloads. The ReFS filesystem would help the OS better to handle large datasets. ReFS is already in use in Windows Server 2012 and 2016 and was designed to be next generation file system after NTFS.

The ReFS filesystem should would the OS handle large datasets better.

So are they planning release special version with more bloatware and you will need 4 processors to run os itself?

No. They are planning to release a Windows 10 version that can use up to 4 CPUs and also support ReFS.

Currently, Windows 10 can only use 2 CPUs, and doesn't support ReFS. For more CPUs and ReFS support, you need a Windows Server license (which is more expensive.) This is MS providing a cheaper way to use more CPUs and the new FS in a non-server OS.

If you need more than 4 CPUs, you'd still need Windows Server.

So in short: this is not for you and me. This is for systems that have multi-socket mainboards with 4 CPUs. For example 4 Xeon CPUs (quad Xeon mainboard) with 12 cores and 24 threads each, for a total of 48 cores and 96 threads total.

No, that is specifically reserved for Win 10 x65 chronek Malware Edition. To be released this August.

Jokes aside, this is purely for workstations.

It's better you stick to Windows 98 SE.
