В конце прошлого года Microsoft представила операционную систему Windows 10X для работы на своих мобильных устройствах с двумя экранами, таких как Surface Neo. Позже был выпущен эмулятор и образ этой операционной системы, который можно было запустить только в Windows 10 Insider Preview новее определенной версии, теперь же эмулятор доступен и на любом компьютере с Windows 10 с установленными последними обновлениями.
В этом обзоре о том, как установить эмулятор Windows 10X на своем компьютере и кратко о том, что можно увидеть в новой операционной системе, доступных настройках и некоторых других нюансах. Также может быть интересным: Лучшие эмуляторы Android для Windows.

Установка эмулятора и образа Windows 10X
Для установки эмулятора Windows 10X достаточно выполнить следующие шаги:
- Зайдите в магазин приложений Microsoft Store, в поиске введите emulator.
- В результатах обратите внимание на пункт Microsoft Emulator — его устанавливаем первым.
- Также в результатах будет несколько образов Windows 10X, устанавливаем последнюю версию.
На этом процесс установки завершен и можно запускать приложение Microsoft Emulator из меню «Пуск».
В приложении вы увидите список образов Windows 10X (скорее всего, лишь один образ), для запуска нажимаем «Start». Не забудьте, что для работы эмулятора требуется включить виртуализацию, а при появлении ошибки после нажатия Start, нажмите кнопку «Retry».
Операционная система Windows 10X
После запуска эмулятора, через некоторое время загрузки вы увидите «рабочий стол» Windows 10X, разделенный на два экрана, на нем — лишь панель задач (разворачивается при наведении указателя мыши), на которой кнопка «Пуск» с меню с новыми иконками приложений и кнопка просмотра задач.
Полный список установленных приложений можно увидеть, нажав «Show All» в меню. Кстати, установить русский язык интерфейса через параметры у меня не удалось, но язык ввода устанавливается.
Такие вещи как «Параметры» или «Центр безопасности Windows» почти ничем не отличаются от таковых на вашем компьютере с Windows 10, при этом стандартных интерфейсов наподобие «Панель управления» уже нет.
Если заглянуть в проводник, которых здесь целых два экземпляра (обычный и Бета, второй у меня не запустился), вы увидите, что у пользователя есть доступ лишь к собственным папкам, таким как «Документы», «Загрузки» и подобные, остальная файловая система скрыта и недоступна. При этом другие папки и «Диск C» всё-таки присутствует в системе, но получить к нему доступ не получится (показано в видео).
Сама Windows 10X предназначена для мобильных устройств, но, в отличие от других мобильных ОС позволяет запускать приложения не только из соответствующего магазина приложений, но и обычные программы Windows. Я проверил запуск Rufus — в итоге, программа запустилась, хотя и происходило это очень медленно (судя по процессу, внутри Windows 10X запускается отдельный эмулятор для таких приложений).
Если в панели слева от окна эмулятора нажать по кнопке с двумя стрелками, а затем перейти на вкладку «Orientation», вы можете поэкспериментировать с разными режимами работы двух экранного мобильного устройства и посмотреть, как будет вести себя эмулятор.
Пожалуй, пока это всё. Добавить могу лишь то, что синие экраны BSOD в Windows 10X выглядят так же, как и в обычной 10-ке, разве что разделены на два экрана:
Видео обзор Windows 10X
Подводя итог: даже не представляю, какое будущее ждет эту операционную систему (Windows Phone сначала казалась многообещающей, но её уже нет, будет ли с Windows 10X иначе — не факт, на мой взгляд) и не знаю, пригодится ли кому-нибудь этот материал, но, если захочется поэкспериментировать с Windows 10X — почему бы и нет.
Windows 10X is a new edition of Microsoft Windows. That specially-designed for dual-screen devices like Microsoft’s Surface Neo. And, this new version of Windows will likely to come for all devices one day. In Windows 10X, all applications will work, as they do on Windows 10 home and professional versions.
