 * Today I tried to buy a new laptop with Windows10 from my local PC World. I was
   told how there are 2 versions, W10 and W10(s)
    He thought that for my kind of
   simple usage W10(s) would be sufficient, but then I told him I had a wordpress
   website. He wasn’t sure if that would still operate OK on the (s) version. So
   I’m trying to find out if my website, which I have just for my own amusement,
   not commercial reasons, would still work if I got the cheaper laptop with Windows10(
   s) Any advice would be appreciated, but please bear in mind, I’m 65 years old
   and not a computer wizz! My website is grassybottom.com Thank-you.

 * Your website lives on a server somewhere, not on your laptop. All you need to
   access it is a browser.
 * This is not a WordPress issue.

 * Windows 10S is a more limited version of Windows 10, but WordPress is unaffected.
   If your site is hosted somewhere and you can access it with a browser, then either
   is fine. Realistically, just get the normal Windows 10. The S version isn’t helpful
   or better.

 * G’day there, Not sure how you develop your website. I had only come across this
   W 10S the other day during support job (Heck for me it seemed like a dumb move
   to set anyone up with it – spose it does protect the very innocent).
    Anyway 
   [@cloudybutnice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cloudybutnice/) it could
   be an issue if you went with the W 10S version and were developing WordPress 
   on the Notebook – as it might be your current local server environment is not
   approved for the Microsoft Store – and that would prevent you from getting access(
   my understanding is that W 10S just won’t let you download anything – EXCEPT 
   if it is in the Microsoft Store) – at least that was what I discovered when I
   tried to load a very legitimate program on a NB with it. (up to that point I 
   did not even know about W 10S (must have been living a very sheltered life). 
   by the way – on the NB I was working on there was a way to set it back to normal
   W 10 (it just complained that it was ‘less secure’). Surely it should say ‘more
   practical or usable IMO! Good Luck!

 * Hello websouth. I’d pretty much decided to go W10 after the previous replies,
   you’ve just confirmed it for me. Thank-you.
