Windows 10X is the name of the new operating system that will rule the future of Microsoft starring a series of devices with dual and touch screen that will offer new ways of use and interaction. All this without sacrificing comfort in transport or options when it comes to being used. Therefore, although there are many details to know, this is all we know about Windows 10X now.
Windows 10X, the operating system for Microsoft folding devices
Windows 10X is an adaptation or extended version of Windows 10. It is not a new operating system and with it we want to give better support to dual screen devices that Microsoft has shown at its most recent event. Yes, we are talking in particular about the new Surface Neo.
That said, Windows 10X includes everything that's already available in Windows 10 and expands with settings that allow you to get more out of the new hardware, especially when using dual screens. Something necessary and essential so that the user experience is not penalized with a poor window management system, interface adaptation, etc.
Surface Neo
From the little that could be seen during the presentation, Windows 10X will allow when moving an application from one screen to another these adapt depending on how you are using both. For example, as separate screens or a single desktop.
However, this is the least striking. Of the most important functions or novelties seen so far is the magnetic keyboard detection that will come with the device. Said keyboard, once placed and depending on its position, will cause a touchpad or a bar to be displayed on the screen that they have decided to call Wonderbar.
said bar Wonderbar is somewhat similar to Apple's TouchBar, only with a larger dimension and therefore capable of displaying more information and, to a certain extent, providing greater comfort by being able to take more advantage of the space by showing things like more emojis, gifs, etc. However, as is the case with Apple's solution, app developers will play a key role in finding truly useful and non-anecdotal uses for it.
From here there is hardly any more information. Yes, it is intuited that this will only be for dual-screen devices and it is very likely that a hardware verification will determine where it will be possible to install the new version of Windows 10X and where not.
Over the next few months more details will be known, because as we already know the Surface Neo will not arrive until the end of 2020. So there are many months left for Microsoft and other manufacturers to show what the system will be capable of doing, possible differences and much more. data compared to the traditional version of Windows 10.
