Basically the ability to link between computers. 

The Pro version lets you connect through your home network to other PCs in a more robust fashion. It also allows for virtual machines.

 

Think of the standard as only useful if you ever just use One PC

I would recommend upgrading to Windows 10. That is just my personal opinion though. I had some gripes about Windows 8.1...
