Download windows 10s
Hello,
Windows 10 S ISO files are not publicly available for download unless you have a device like Microsoft Surface: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surfacerecoveryimage
so you have to create your own Windows 10 ISO file from the normal Windows 10 ISO file.
to do that, first download the latest Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft:
(Create Windows 10 installation media)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
once you have it, you also need to download The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)
from here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install
(note that latest Windows 10 build is currently 1909, but you can use ADK 1903 which is the latest version, to use it for both 1903 and 1909)
There is also this guide here on Microsoft docs that shows how to enable it but it's for more advanced users:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-10-s-enable-s-mode
so I kindly suggest to watch this video which shows step by step how to turn a normal Windows 10 ISO into Windows 10 S mode and it uses the same method explained in Microsoft Docs article.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need help with anything.

- I know this post is quite old but I'm hoping help is still available.
I've followed this video guide three times and am unable to get S mode installed. Each time, the resulting USB just installs regular Windows 10 Pro.
Can anybody suggest what I may be doing wrong?Hi, I suggest using Windows 11 with Smart App Control. It's a more mature version of the S mode and is easier to work with. It also provides AI based security using Intelligent Security Graph.
