If you use your PC strictly for gaming, there is no benefit to stepping up to Pro. But unless this is absolutely necessary, it’s best to keep Windows up to date.įor the majority of users, Windows 10 Home edition will suffice. Windows Update for Business allows an admin to control when a system is updated and defer updates that may cause incompatibilities with legacy software or impact the business in some other way. While this is great from an admin perspective and a good way to set a co-worker's wallpaper to something fun remotely, it’s not very useful in a home environment. Group Policy meanwhile allows you to restrict access to any number of Windows features and configure any setting within the operating system. Assigned Access allows an admin to lock down Windows and allow access to only one app under a specified user account. Other features like group policy management, Assigned Access, and the ability to join a domain are unlikely to be very useful outside of the workplace. However, unless you're running dozens of virtual machines, you’re not going to exceed the memory limits of Home any time soon. Windows 10 Home supports a maximum of 128GB of RAM, while Pro supports a whopping 2TB. Memory Limits and Business FeaturesĪside from the above features, there are some other differences between the two versions of Windows. While Hyper-V is included with your Windows 10 Pro license, it needs to be downloaded and installed separately. If you plan on running VMs, this feature might be worth the cost of Pro, but if virtualization is all you need, there are free products like Virtualbox that offer more features and work with multiple operating systems. Hyper-V is a Windows-only hypervisor used for running virtual machines on CPUs that support virtualization. Does that anonymous download that claims to fix performance actually work? Or is it malware masquerading as a useful program? You could install a virtualization solution and run the program in a sandbox so it won't actually cause harm, or if you have Windows Pro you get that feature as part of the OS. Normally, we'd just say don't run any suspicious files, but some people are curious. While it may provide peace of mind to any user, it’s another feature aimed at businesses where security is a top priority. Trusted Boot protects your PC from rootkits and works in conjunction with Secure Boot to help keep your system malware free and in your control by checking every component of the startup process before loading it.
