Microsoft has released a recovery image that will let Surface Laptop owners revert from Windows 10 Pro back to Windows 10 S. Why would anyone do that? Well, one reason may be power efficiency: some people who upgrade to Pro may be disappointed by how much quicker the battery drains. I would take full functionality (i.e., running x86 apps) over increased battery life (assuming there isn’t a shocking difference) any day, though.



Microsoft thankfully is offering the option to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free until later this year, and Surface Laptop owners can use that offer to get the full-fledged version of Windows for free. Microsoft says Windows 10 S is more power efficient than Windows 10 Pro, which effectively means that Windows 10 Pro will likely drain your battery faster than Windows 10 S – at least according to Microsoft. If you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 10 S but you aren’t too happy with the performance and the battery life, you may want to go back to Windows 10 S. And that’s possible now.
