You want to upgrade your computer to the latest version of Microsoft Windows. But you're faced with the following dilemma: Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro?
To be clear, Windows 10 Home is designed for everyday users like most of us, while Windows 10 Pro can handle the high demands of businesses. In reality, most people won't even notice the difference between the editions.
Below we will see all the features of Windows 10 Pro that are not included in the Home version. This way, anyone who wishes to can decide with real criteria which version suits them best.
- When it comes to file protection, Windows 10 Pro has a clear advantage over Windows 10 Home. This is because of BitLocker, which is a Pro feature that Windows 10 Home users don't have.
- WDAG (Windows Defender Application Guard) allows you to protect your computer from malware and other serious threats while browsing. Knowing how often zero-day attacks occur, it is worth having it, thus ensuring that you will not encounter any problem while browsing .
- Remote . Desktop Connection is essentially a remote connection. It is a Windows Pro service with which one can connect, for example from home, and complete a task that one could not do on their work computer
- Trusted Boot is another security that I think could be extremely useful for many. It was developed to protect your computer from rootkits. It works in sync with Secure Boot, ensuring that all components of the boot process are thoroughly checked before loading.
- The following feature is not for the general public. Client Hyper-V is for tech nerds who can't get enough of new features. It's a virtualization technology tool that allows you to run virtual machines on CPUs.
- The truth is, you don't have many options like Windows Sandbox. If you often find yourself in a situation where you need to test apps and more suspicious things, it's a good fit for you. Plus, once you disable it, everything will be automatically destroyed, which is another plus from both a security and privacy perspective.
- A very basic difference between the two versions is the RAM. The Home has 128 GB of RAM and the Pro 2 TB.
If you are professionally involved in business, it is a good idea to also pay attention to the following business-oriented characteristics.
- Enterprise Explorer Internet of Mode ensures that you can use older versions web apps without having to compromise on security features.
- Group Policy from is particularly useful. Using this feature, you can restrict access to features and customize operating system settings within . This gives you complete control over the capabilities of your company's computers.
- Domain Join allows businesses to create a secure connection to a work domain. We first encountered it with Windows 7 and it has continued to be a highly valuable feature for business users ever since.
- Assigned . Access essentially restricts access for a user. For example, if you need to give someone you don't know well access to an application so they can work on it, the feature will lock down the entire system except for the necessary application
- Of course, in addition to what we mentioned above, there are other benefits of Windows 10 Pro that are not included in Home.
- Take a . Test enables users to log in and take exams
- Shared PC Configuration allows businesses to create more than one user on a computer.
- Dynamic Provisioning will free your hands. Create a ready-made profile on a USB and then insert it into the computer. After that, the computer will automatically configure everything efficiently. So, in no time, you will have a PC ready to use.
In closing, we couldn't help but mention the two versions from an economic point of view. Windows 10 Pro is almost twice the price of Home, but if you are a professional and need it for your business, it may be worth spending the money. In any other case, Windows 10 Home does what it should and more.
