<div _ngcontent-c14 = "" innerhtml = "

Earlier today, I was writing on The redesigned XPS 13 2 in 1 from Dell, a laptop powered by the new 10nm and 10nm Ice Lake-U Intel processors. Then I took a look at the technical sheet Dell made available for the press, and it was under "Operator System." An OS I've never seen before: Windows 10 Ultra 64-bit, nestled just below the expected inclusion of Windows 10 64-bit Home Edition.

There is an index hiding there though. As Foley reminds usLast year, a Microsoft document leak revealed an edition called "Windows 10 Home Advanced" that never saw the light of day. Microsoft has never discussed the essential differences between Windows 10 Home Advanced unannounced and the standard edition of Windows 10 Home.

Thurrott.com claims (Article is behind a premium paywall), that's the same "Advanced" SKU Concept but sending a year later under a new name. & Nbsp; The e-mails are sent to Microsoft and Dell, but all we have left is to break our heads. Will it be an incremental upgrade designed for high end PCs? Will it have more advanced features like the delayed updates of Windows 10 Pro? BitLocker Encryption? Hyper-V? What types of PCs are eligible for Windows 10 Home Ultra? What do these minimum requirements look like?

We know it well: the XPS 13 2 in 1 reorganized by Dell, which was just launched in June alongside Intel Lake, should provide answers.
