Which is better

[Shippogirl161]

Is Windows10 home Or pro better?

Well, if u just intend on using it for personal use, go with the home edition.

Well, Pro has some more features, so i guess it's technically better. For most consumer's use, there's no difference. If they're the same price, then go for Pro, but if there's a significant difference in price, you're likely not going to be needing the features of the Pro version. 

Here's some explanation of the difference if you're unsure if you'll benefit from Pro. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/feature/windows/windows-10-home-vs-windows-10-pro-uk-difference-3618710/

Both are the same. All depends on if you care about the Pro  features or not.

Pro gives you the ability:

 -> Differ Windows Update (hold all updates for 3 months)

 -> BitLocker and EFS

 -> Run Universal Apps under Kiosk Mode (that means, you can't exists, and auto run at startup.. like a kiosk) - actually called: Assigned Access

 -> Join domain

 -> Join Microsoft Azure Active Directory

 -> Group Policy

 -> Windows Remote Desktop Host (you can use remote desktop on another device and connect to your system)

 -> Hyper-V Virtual Machine

I tend to agree with this guy. You can get a free upgrade at the moment from any old windows 7, 8 or 8.1 keys you may have lying around! MS are giving 10 away free, don't waste your cash if at all possible.

 

As for the comparison of pro to home (which is all you asked for, so please forgive the financial advice), as far as I know pro is just bundled with features that people may need in a business environment. Mostly 'integration' with Microsoft Active Directory.

I don't think there any benefits with Pro for the average consumer. I imagine it's a way for MS to stick the big bills to large companies while enabling consumers to get the OS at a semi-reasonable price point.

I could be wrong though, it's worth researching for yourself.

 

Literally copy-pasting your question into Google brings up comparisons of the two versions from a number of 3rd party organisations.
