Really Limited Windows 10 Version?

[Rather Dashed]

I remember that there's a version of Windows that is extremely limited - essentially only allows use of one app... what is that? Or how do I configure that? Never done it before but I think it'd be a good recommendation for a client of mine.

Windows 10 S?
That only allows windows store apps.

You're probably thinking of Kiosk Mode. AFAIK it's available in Windows IoT Enterprise.

Or use GPO to lock down and limit what the client can do on the system.

Windows Vista?

Windows 7 Starter?

What's Missing in Windows 7 Starter

Windows 7 Starter is a significantly stripped-down version of Windows 7. Here's some of what it's missing, courtesy of a Microsoft blog posting:

 

• Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the "Windows Basic" or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
• Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
• The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
• Multi-monitor support.
• DVD playback.
• Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
• Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
• Domain support for business customers.
• XP Mode for those who want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.

Just to expand on this, if you want to use group policy editor natively, you'll need a Pro version or above, not Home. Although, I know for Windows 7 Home, there was a way to get group policy editor working. Not sure if that exists for 10 as I deal with Pro versions at work, and have Pro on my home machine. But using GPOs does give you a lot of control over the machine.
