The first real reviews about the fundamentally new operating system Windows 10X, which Microsoft is preparing for release, appeared on the network.
Several sources at once, including the editor-in-chief of the authoritative resource The Verge Tom Warren, the editor of the famous resource XDA Developers Max Weinbach and the editor of Windows Central Zac Bowden, published reviews, screenshots and even a couple of videos.
Windows 10X appears to only work with a Microsoft Account. During setup you can pick a home / work account, but there’s no option for local accounts. You’ll also need to be online to finish setup. Say hello to the Windows cloud PC pic.twitter.com/zv0I51c77u

Sources unanimously compare Windows 10X with Google’s Chrome OS. Apparently, Windows 10X only works with a Microsoft Account and requires a network connection to complete the setup with setup.

It is noted that the fresh test build of Windows 10X (20279.1002) is already close to the final one. The screenshots show the interface on a single screen PC. It is this version of Windows 10X that Microsoft plans to release in the first place.
The Start menu and taskbar are centered, and large icons are easy to touch. The taskbar contains icons for Microsoft Edge, Files, Outlook, and Storage.
The Start menu has more quick launch icons for a variety of useful tools, as well as services like Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Spotify. Folders are not supported in the menu, but applications and sites are displayed.
The first devices based on Windows 10X should arrive in the spring of 2021.
