DavidW 0 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DavidW 0 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks. I can get Home or Pro from work. Just trying to decide which. Looks like Pro might be the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One2Go 98 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
