Xbox OS is an unofficial name given to the version of Windows that runs on the Xbox One.[43] It is a more specific implementation with an emphasis on virtualization (usingHyper-V) as it is three operating systems running at once, consisting of the core operating system, a second implemented for games and a more Windows-like environment for applications.[44] Microsoft updates Xbox One’s OS every month, and these updates can be downloaded from the Xbox Live service to the Xbox and subsequently installed, or by using offline recovery images downloaded via a PC.[45] The Windows 10-based Core had replaced the Windows 8-based one in this update, and the new system is sometimes referred to as “Windows 10 on Xbox One” or “OneCore”.[46][47] Xbox One’s system also allows backward compatibility with Xbox 360,[48] and the Xbox 360’s system is backwards compatible with the original Xbox.[49]
