Το Windows 10X είναι μια νέα έκδοση των Windows 10 που έχει σχεδιαστεί για συσκευές διπλής οθόνης όπως το επερχόμενο Surface Neo της Microsoft, which will be available from 2020. The "new" operating system will have a custom UI for these devices.
Windows 10X is Windows
At the Surface event, Microsoft said that Windows 10X will “support the applications of Windows”, which means that all traditional Windows graphics applications will work exactly as they do in Windows 10 Home or Professional. It's not a completely new operating system, but a customized version of Windows 10 with a UI designed for foldable devices.
Microsoft told The Verge that Windows 10X will run traditional Windows desktop applications in a container to improve battery life. Windows 10X seems to be based on Windows Core OS.
Optimized for dual-screen devices
Windows 10X has a UI "designed and optimized for dual-screen devices, such as the Surface Neo," according to Microsoft.
The Surface Neo is a dual screen device that opens like a laptop. Alternatively, it is like two tablets connected to each other by a hinge.
There will be no Live Tiles
Part of optimizing the operating system for dual-screen devices seems to be removing Live Tiles. There is a new Start menu with simple icons.
When you launch an app, it will launch on one side of the device. It's a bit like Windows 10's Snap feature – apps will open on one screen (or one side of the device) rather than both screens. You can drag the app window to the middle of the screen to display it on both screens. Microsoft says that this will not only make the application window larger on both screens, but will also "optimize" theconnection of the app so that the app can intelligently take advantage of both screens.
Windowws 10X and dual-screen devices are not currently available. Microsoft will release Windows 10X before the release of the Surface Neo, so developers will have time to try it out and optimize their applications for the new OS.
Microsoft posted on blog one article for the upcoming Windows 10X, but didn't mention many technical details.
