Good news — no great news — the one thing that crippled Microsoft's first laptop,Watch Carnal Cravings (2006) the Surface Laptop, is no more.
As we said in our review, Windows 10 S and the fact that it only lets you install apps from the Windows Store (there's no Chrome!) is too restrictive, and anybody who buys a Surface Laptop should immediately upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
The downside to upgrading from 10 S to 10 Pro was that you couldn't revert or "downgrade" back if you changed your mind later. Microsoft's now reversed that somewhat hostile stance.
SEE ALSO: Microsoft's Surface Laptop comes with one big suck, but it's easily fixableLess than week after releasing the Surface Laptop, Microsoft's provided a "recovery image" for owners to effectively revert back to Windows 10 S if they made the upgrade to 10 Pro.
It's a nice token for Surface Laptop owners, but it's also not as simple as clicking a button. To get your machine running Windows 10 S again, you'll need to perform a factory reset, which means it'll erase everything. So you'll want to backup your data onto an external hard drive or to the cloud before doing so.
You can find both the recovery image and instructions on how to restore your Surface Laptop to Windows 10 S on Microsoft's website.
Microsoft's Surface Laptop is one of the best Windows 10 laptops you can buy and a solid alternative to Apple's MacBook Pro.
It's got a high-res touchscreen, a keyboard wrapped in Alcantara fabric that doesn't feel like you're typing on a table, all-day battery life, and a full-sized USB 3.0 port so you can live a dongle-free life.
Surface Laptop owners can upgrade their machines from 10 S to 10 Pro for free until the end of the year. After that, it's $50 for the upgrade, and will presumably cost you each time you want to upgrade again after factory resetting back to Windows 10 S. Although, it's possible you could save your Windows 10 Pro license and reuse it later. We've reached out to Microsoft to clarify the upgrade fee after performing a factory reset.
