A long while we believed that Windows 10 S was going to be one and the same with Windows 10 ARM and now it appears it’s actually a different platform. Windows 10 S only runs apps from the Windows Store, so it doesn’t have Win32 app support. Meanwhile, Windows 10 ARM will be less locked down.
The release was announced last year and it has been updated at the MS Build developer conference this week. The good news is that Windows 10 ARM will be able to run legacy apps developed for PCs with x86 chipsets. Basically, you should be able to download any Win32 app you want and install it… including Chrome. That happens on a computer running Windows 10 ARM.
