Windows 10 Home vs Pro

[DavidW 0]

Searched but couldn't find an answer.  Any advantages to using Windows 10 Pro over Windows 10 Home.  I'm finally getting around to rebuilding my server (WHS) and need to make a decision which version to go with.

Pro, it gives you more functionality.

Moved this to the HARDWARE forum.

Don't know if you use Remote Desktop, but that one difference.

CBers - What extra functionality would help with Emby?  I'm familiar with Windows 10 Home and work with Windows Server 2012/2016/2019 daily for my job.  Just trying to find out what I would get out of Pro over Home.

Why not install Server 2019 then?

Appreciate all the responses.  I'll probably just go with Pro.  Thanks for all the info!

eBay is still the best place for a cheap valid licence key.

Thanks.  I can get Home or Pro from work.  Just trying to decide which.  Looks like Pro might be the winner.

For me one of the features for Pro is the control you have over updates since MS screws them up quite often. There is no Policy editor in the Home version which allows the granularity towards updates.
