Microsoft Windows 10 for desktop, the successor to Windows 8.1, comes in two versions: Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home. This is a stark contrast to earlier versions of Windows, which came in as many as seven editions. Of the two editions, Windows 10 Pro, as you may have guessed, has more features. Unlike Windows 7 and 8.1, in which the basic variant was markedly crippled with fewer features than its professional counterpart, Windows 10 Home packs in a large set of new features that should suffice most users’ needs. This begs the question, which among Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home is the right version for you?

What do you get with Windows 10 Pro
The Pro edition of Windows 10, in addition to all of the Home edition’s features, offers sophisticated connectivity and privacy tools such as Domain Join, Group Policy Management, Bitlocker, Enterprise Mode Internet Explorer (EMIE), Assigned Access 8.1, Remote Desktop, Client Hyper-V, and Direct Access.

Assigned Access 8.1, for instance, allows you to lock user accounts and prevent them from accessing specific apps. BitLocker, on the other hand, is one of the most powerful disk-encryption tools on Windows. It lets you encrypt your external USB drives. You also get tools that facilitate seamless connectivity while joining Azure Active Directory, and a Business Store for Windows 10. So should you get the Pro edition instead?

It all comes down to this: do you need features such as Client Hyper-V, which is a built-in virtualization solution in Windows? Does your work require you to connect to a Windows domain? If yes, you should purchase the Pro edition. Else, the Home edition is what you need.

Beyond Home and Pro
While Windows 10 Home and Pro are direct paths for retail users, there are other variants of Windows 10 as well like Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Student. The Enterprise edition, as you may expect, is meant to meet the demands of medium and large-sized organizations. It comes with even more sophisticated features such as Device Guard, which gives a company the ability to lock down devices. Unlike the other two Windows 10 Editions, however, the Enterprise variant won’t be available for sale in retail stores. Instead, it will be sold through volume licensing.

The Windows 10 Education edition is designed for schools – students, teachers, staff, and administrators. The edition comes with most of the Enterprise edition’s features. It too won’t be available on sale at retail stores, though, and will be seeded out through academic volume licensing.

Speaking of other Windows 10 editions, we also have Windows 10 Mobile, and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise. As their names suggest, both are designed to empower smartphones and not the desktop platform. Microsoft is also releasing Windows 10 Core, an operating system for the Internet of Things devices.
