What is Windows 10X

Windows 10X is a new experience of the Windows 10 operating system that is made especially for dual display devices. Microsoft is leading the way into the industry for other OEMs to build devices with dual displays and is providing a great new software experience with Windows 10. Although these devices with dual displays do not need a hardware keyboard specifically, Microsoft is offering support for external hardware keyboards. OEMs can then make a choice between the navigation controls – based on the software or the hardware. The hardware keyboard shown for Surface Neo can be docked on either part of the screen (upwards or downwards) – and the other part can be used as a trackpad or a secondary display, respectively.
