I found every youtuber talking about the difference missed one big feature: Pro version allows all display languages, whereas Home version only allows using one default language. It's a very important feature for multilingual users, I switch between English, Chinese and Japanese frequently.
Encryption & Sandbox options is one of the big things for me when it comes to Home vs Pro I recently got a upgrade key to upgrade my Windows 10 Home keep up the good work my man.
is that how when I was on the pro version I had encrypted DNS but now that i'm on home I can't? Or is there a setting I can change I can't remember if that's what I did previously.
Great overview of Home vs. Professional. My laptop used to have Windows Professional, but now it belongs to a relative. I'm now using Home. Until I saw this video, I didn't think there was much of a distinction between Pro and Home. But, thanks to you, I now understand that there are considerable gaps. Keep rocking with Windows 11!
I use Remote Desktop all the time at work. It's super duper handy for logging into servers without having to actually walk into the server room or anything. Actually one of my favorite features. I could see the potential for it being useful on a PC but I can't think of any real world examples I'd be using any time soon.
For me... I will wait until at least a year to allow for all the bug fixes, tweaks, and adjustments based upon consumer reaction to settle down. Thus far 11 does appear to have some nice features but it also has eliminated some features that I use regularly. I wish they would quit messing around with the start button and taskbar. My take... changes that are mostly a solution in search of a problem. (Sort of like the ribbon, which they are now removing in Explorer) Overall it appears to be somewhat dumbed down for the masses looking to emulate the Mac OS. One can resist the 11 upgrade for a time but at some point 10 will decay to the point many will need to make the move. I will be going with pro mostly to avoid having to deal with having to have an account to tie your machine back to the MS mothership. I wish there was a good way to run the apps I need in Linux well as I would have made that move a long time ago.
I got an Alienware in 2012 with Windows 7. It lasted me until 2023. I think that 11 years was the absolute longest time I could milk it. Now the lack of security updates and incompatibility with newer programs finally caught up to it. 😢
@@cherryartist17 Same for me. Built a great rig in 2011 and ran Win7 Pro until now when I am *_finally_* putting the finishing touches on a new machine, and with it a new OS. I was planning on going with Win10, but I've read that 11 is better at handling scheduling between performance / efficiency cores in intel 12th gen (and higher) cpus .. so time to take the plunge! I just need to weed out all the telemetry etc. Really excited to turn this thing on! Going from an i7-2600K to an i7-12700K .. from 16 GB of DDR3 to 64 GB of DDR5 .. from a SATA 3 7200 RPM platter drive to a Gen 4 m.2 2280 NVMe SSD .. I hope the difference is as startling as I think it should be! 🤞 It will be painful leaving Win7 behind. Without a doubt my favorite OS ever! But, at this point .. like you said, the lack of security updates (and support for newer hardware .. DirectX versions, etc) .. just have to move on! Best of luck to you. ☮
I have the pro version and although I barely use the features that come with it, I do like the access to the group policy editor. I actually only use it to control how Windows update works so it is less annoying / disruptive. I also tried Hyper-V but didn't really like it. I prefer Virtualbox for my usage.
Thanks for sharing, Kevin. I need to become familiar with window 10 first. A beginner! I just bought a PC window 10 from Costco 3 months ago. Bought it too early.😏😏
For all that is Holy; make sure you export your bit locker key. One BSOD, if you’re on a piece of crap Dell then one hardware component failure, and you’ll lose access to your data if you do not have the key. I used to work for the state government, and the Dell’s died constantly. BL is a two edged sword that will filet you open and dance on your entrails with salt shoes and laugh at your pathetic crying when everything on the drive is gone.

i had windows 10 pro on my diy pc. i did the auto upgrade to windows 11. had it since launch. last night i reformatted my pc and reinstalled windows 11 pro from a flash drive and i am noticing all sorts of stuff thats different. i didnt even know what i had before was home. it just gave me whatever the version is they auto gave you. But i definitely have w11 pro now and i LOVE the new look. its way different than what i had before.. So now im watching this video trying to figure out everyuthing that different. Its like im experiencing windows 11 for the first time all over again.
If I switch UI from English to my native language I understand the words but I can't find anything anymore. I've been using English Windows since NT 4 which couldn't switch languages - you had to reinstall from a different CD 🙂
I have to correct you on one thing: TeamViewer isnt the same thing as Remote Desktop. If you want to use TeamViewer, the PC you want to connect to must be already logged in to Windows with a local user. Once youre connected to the other PC with TeamViewer you see it through the TeamViewer Window kind of like it was live streaming for you but with the addition that you can control it. This also means, that both, you and the user logged into your PC at home can see and to things at the same time. Remote Desktop however is used to actually log into the remote PC using a local user on the PC you want to connect from (or any user from your domain, if youre in one). So the local user on your PC at home must be logged out of Windows since you cant be logged in with two users at once. Im working as a IT supporter at a company and we have both Remote Desktop and TeamViewer and depending on the situation both programs can have their advantages.
I beat my head against a wall for hours the other day trying to figure out how to use remote desktop to control my work computer with Pro with my home laptop. I ended up running out of time and just using a Team Viewer trial that just effortlessly worked. I guess I have to get our network admin involved to set up some port forwarding nonsense. So much harder than it needs to be.
You need to add multiple users, and they can access with their credentials at a time. The thing is your processor and RAM should be enough to cater multiple users at a time.
I think for now I'm gonna stay on windows 10 pro until the updates and run out and just stay informed of Windows 11 if they release updates that would make me consider switching earlier than intended. The only Windows 11 pro feature I'd want is Bitlocker, but spending money for only 1 additional feature is not something I want to do unless I really have no choice in the future.
Pro has access to the group policy editor that Home does not. Pro was designed for small businesses. That said, most home users don't need the pro version
What? No remote desktop on home ver.? We've had that as a standard built in windows feature forever. Guess it's some kinda security measure. All in all, I think your 3rd party software recommendations should be enough for me to go for the home version. Thanks for the invaluable info!
Appreciate the video! Very concise, thanks! Thanks for leaving out a long winded explanation of business features most home users won't need. We do in fact not know what these features mean, so I'm pretty sure I can live without them 😂
I am impressed, Kevin! There is such a big difference in the functionality of Home and Pro. Also you are my inspiration and I have learnt something for you. You have taught me to take advantage of the situation and adjust accordingly. Right now Windows 11 is the trend and you are uploading many Windows 11 videos and they are getting lots of views!

Remote desktop is my main need. I have 4 dektops and 7 laptops 5 of them behind tvs. I love doing their maintenance stuff from my office desktop since a couple of the systems only have a mouse and no keyboard at all. very handy
I use windows 11 pro due to having sandboxed apps as well as virtualization... I use bit locker too and I have all the security features enabled. I use Linux on a laptop because I do love Linux but my main rig uses windows mostly for everything especially games. I use an alternative antivirus software just so that I have something dedicated to keeping my pc locked down away from issues. I also use a VPN pretty much all the time.

Yes mine came with Window Pro 10 on my Dell 8940 XPS Desktop 🖥 I only used it for two month with ten pro on it before I upgraded to Windows 11 pro for free.
The home version requires an account and a constant connection to that account, you cannot have a local account as it is on the pro. You pay a home license to have the data collected and to receive advertisements and recommendations.
i'm surprised how a lot of people refuse the idea of installing win 11 just because of system requirements. Bypassing them is completely legal and you won't face any problems, unless you bypass the CPU requirements.
Something that he forgot to mention is that Windows 11 Home requires you to connect with your Microsoft account and you cannot have Local accounts. Whereas Windows 11 Pro allows you to have local accounts without having to use your Microsoft account.
When setting up a "Local Account" on Win 10 or 11 Either Pro or Home, without having to supply an Email etc for the user. Turn off Wi-Fi and pull the Ethernet plug out. Then your good to go. A option will appear saying to the effect of "I don't have the user's information" Reconnect to the Internet when your finished. Cheers :)
I dunno. I'm confused, why would Microsoft rule out older hardware, I mean even ten year old machines could upgrade to Windows 10 from XP, but now it's like most machines without a TPM are being blacklisted. I hope MS focuses on customers cause it's not just plain Jane hardware that dictates profitability, or is MS turning up with state of the art hardware better than a Surface line.
Thanks for the video. I run a dual boot, Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. I like hearing about the many features of Window 11 Pro but don't think I am smart enough to use them or in need of them. I am 74 years old and have had a brain aneurysm burst. Then patched and then a shunt installed because the patch was leaking. It does sound neat to have the ability to run other operating systems. I would like to here more about running them from a USB flash drive like you can test drive Linux Mint. I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop computer with an Intel Core i7-7500U Processor. I take that to mean 2 cores. My Windows 10 got very slow. When I would turn on my computer it would be hours before it was fast enough to use. A lot of times I think Windows 10 used all of the CPU and hardly allowed me to use my own computer. So I got mad!! (1.) I bought a 14" HP Chromebook computer, (2.) Tried Linux Mint on a USB flash drive in the Dell laptop. It worked so good that I installed Linux Mint as adual boot and use Linux 99% of the time. I have an Android phone and use Google Chromium on the Linux Mint boot. I have the same Calendar, Contacts, Google Keep, and links to other Google apps on all 3. The 14" HP Chromebook computer, it is very fast but I still like Linux Mint the best. How many cores would I need in order for Windows to let me use my computer with out delay? I am considering buying a new 15" laptop with an i7 processor.
WSL (Windows Subsystem of Linux) is also available on Win 11 Pro not on Home edition, You will need it incase you want to run docker desktop or podman desktop
I always upgrade my OS. I have been there than that and I think Windows 11 is actually better than the launch of Windows 8 (no Start button lol). What I will miss with Windows 10 is my organized folders when pressing Start. Just waiting for Windows update to say that I can download and install. I think you can do it manually but I think it is better to wait until they fix all the performance issues since I am using AMD.
Hi, in 4:55 you said "we can connect to other PCs but others can't connect to us, you can be a client". I think you should've said we're server because we're serving. Hope I'm right!
Hi Kevin, do you have a video about the importance of product keys in Windows, and what do you think is the impact on the future of the pc (if any) if you bought non-authorized key? Thank you!
I have a Win10 laptop running Home edition, but I also have a Win10 Pro license that I haven't used. I guess I should upgrade that first before upgrading to Win11. Can you recommend a good video on how to do that? 😉
when I opted in to getting windows 10, I chose pro. when I upgraded to 11, I got Home. I was under the impression that if you had home, you upgraded to 11 home, and the same with the professional. what happened here? isin't windows 11 suppose to be a direct upgrade? home for home, pro for pro?? why did my machine go from pro to the home edition? it works OK, but is a downgrade from what I was understanding would happen.... I have a digital license thats permanetly activated.
@@dmaxsaint5895 yeah, thats weird... I don't understand Microsoft... maybe its too early to get the free copy of pro... anyway, I have 11 installed in a HP slim PC.. and was shocked when it wanted to upgrade to 11... I didn't think it was supported... but its works! My PC is a HP Slim S01-PF1013W. Cool little computer!
Hmm, it should upgrade you from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. Here's some more info: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/91148/wrong-version-of-windows-10-is-being-installed-fro.html
I'm learning to code and taking this skill seriously, so my question for anyone here is, should I go with Windows Pro 11 or stay with the Home edition? Thank you
What is the business reason for keeping two product lines? Linux and macOS don't make a distinction on a pro and also come with many of those tools (comparable). It almost feels like it would be better to just have a slightly more expensive windows licence and then use the extra features as you mature into them.
SKUs allow Microsoft to charge more for features that some people value more than others. Basically a form of price discrimination to maximize profits.
I think the biggest pity is that if you buy a new PC, you don't get to specify the version that you get. It would be useful if, when buying; you were just given an option of which version it comes with and (f necessary) you would just pay the higher price.
Appreciate the info. I am an IT guy but did not need to keep up on latest of the OSs because work for Gov and we are still back on win 10 and also have no input as to what we get and what it runs.
Regarding Remote Desktop - is it not a security risk to use Remote Desktop over the internet. I thought Remote Desktop was really only secure in an local area network?
In era or windows XP and Vista, many programs will straight up not install in Home Edition. MS Office professional would need windows XP Pro. Things have changed a lot. I straight up gave up after windows 7.
i downloaded windows 11 iso from microsoft website and it upgraded my licensed windows 10 Home to licensed Windows 11 Pro so i didnt just upgrade OS but level of OS aswell for free :D
I ain't gon upgrade to windows 11 tbh I loved the idea of windows 11 when it came out... But only one big huge problem ... Me being used to windows 10 for a very long time felt that windows 11 limited my functionality
Same @@thumirawickramasinghe9670My brain just finds it difficult to absorb information if someone speaks too slowly. I don't speak too fast myself, but I cognate words about 2 or 3 times faster than the average person speaks, and considering this is a review targeted at beginners/the LCD, he is speaking even more slowly than the average American would talk in a conversation.

I like hearing about the many features of Window 11 Pro but don't think I am smart enough to use them or in need of them. I am 74 years old and have had a brain aneurysm burst. Then patched and then a shunt installed because the patch was leaking.
It does sound neat to have the ability to run other operating systems. I would like to here more about running them from a USB flash drive like you can test drive Linux Mint.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop computer with an Intel Core i7-7500U Processor. I take that to mean 2 cores.
My Windows 10 got very slow. When I would turn on my computer it would be hours before it was fast enough to use. A lot of times I think Windows 10 used all of the CPU and hardly allowed me to use my own computer.
So I got mad!!
(1.) I bought a 14" HP Chromebook computer,
(2.) Tried Linux Mint on a USB flash drive in the Dell laptop. It worked so good that I installed Linux Mint as adual boot and use Linux 99% of the time. I have an Android phone and use Google Chromium on the Linux Mint boot. I have the same Calendar, Contacts, Google Keep, and links to other Google apps on all 3. The 14" HP Chromebook computer, it is very fast but I still like Linux Mint the best.
How many cores would I need in order for Windows to let me use my computer with out delay? I am considering buying a new 15" laptop with an i7 processor.
wouuuuuuuuuuuuuu ... I always want it to know the diference ...thank you kevin ... you are awesome .. saludos desde PERU!!
you didn't even mentioned group policy, which is really a crucial thing to mention
WSL (Windows Subsystem of Linux) is also available on Win 11 Pro not on Home edition, You will need it incase you want to run docker desktop or podman desktop
I always upgrade my OS. I have been there than that and I think Windows 11 is actually better than the launch of Windows 8 (no Start button lol). What I will miss with Windows 10 is my organized folders when pressing Start. Just waiting for Windows update to say that I can download and install. I think you can do it manually but I think it is better to wait until they fix all the performance issues since I am using AMD.
I am eagerly waiting for this...
Very Clear explanations and alternative software explained in this video, Excellent video my friend, awesome job
I think sandbox feature is very neat .
Very helpful information mate
Thanks 👏
Very clear. Thank you ❤
All I needed was a group policy editor 🥲
well you can do something from registries
Nice info. Thanx Kevin
Hi, in 4:55 you said "we can connect to other PCs but others can't connect to us, you can be a client". I think you should've said we're server because we're serving. Hope I'm right!
"RAM _or_ memory"? That didn't make sense. What do you think RAM *_IS?_*
todayyy" i love the new intro
Thank you for the information! 😊
I have the same black sand wallpaper. Good choice!
If u can afford a 64 core cpu and 128 gigs of ram you can afford an extra 99 for pro
Hi Kevin, do you have a video about the importance of product keys in Windows, and what do you think is the impact on the future of the pc (if any) if you bought non-authorized key? Thank you!
I have a Win10 laptop running Home edition, but I also have a Win10 Pro license that I haven't used. I guess I should upgrade that first before upgrading to Win11. Can you recommend a good video on how to do that? 😉
Go to Settings > System > Activation... you can then swap out your key to the pro key.
@@KevinStratvert Thanks Kevin
I always wondered ❤. Thank you
Thanks for the information sir! I found it very useful.❤
when I opted in to getting windows 10, I chose pro. when I upgraded to 11, I got Home. I was under the impression that if you had home, you upgraded to 11 home, and the same with the professional. what happened here? isin't windows 11 suppose to be a direct upgrade? home for home, pro for pro?? why did my machine go from pro to the home edition? it works OK, but is a downgrade from what I was understanding would happen.... I have a digital license thats permanetly activated.
😒 that's weird I had windows 10 pro and I upgraded to windows 11 even thoughmy cpu is listed as unsupported. However it didn't change to home edition.
@@dmaxsaint5895 yeah, thats weird... I don't understand Microsoft... maybe its too early to get the free copy of pro... anyway, I have 11 installed in a HP slim PC.. and was shocked when it wanted to upgrade to 11... I didn't think it was supported... but its works! My PC is a HP Slim S01-PF1013W. Cool little computer!
Hmm, it should upgrade you from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. Here's some more info: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/91148/wrong-version-of-windows-10-is-being-installed-fro.html
I am overexcited to join your discord I want to be first when you make xD
I'm learning to code and taking this skill seriously, so my question for anyone here is, should I go with Windows Pro 11 or stay with the Home edition? Thank you
Good introduction to the product, thanks.
What is the business reason for keeping two product lines? Linux and macOS don't make a distinction on a pro and also come with many of those tools (comparable). It almost feels like it would be better to just have a slightly more expensive windows licence and then use the extra features as you mature into them.
SKUs allow Microsoft to charge more for features that some people value more than others. Basically a form of price discrimination to maximize profits.
I think the biggest pity is that if you buy a new PC, you don't get to specify the version that you get. It would be useful if, when buying; you were just given an option of which version it comes with and (f necessary) you would just pay the higher price.
@@davidfishwick5573 it’s easy to upgrade just pay $99 more
Amazing work Kevin!!!!!!!!!!! you taught a lot of tech in this quarantine
For that A big thank you and I love that line "tooddayy"😊😊
Appreciate the info. I am an IT guy but did not need to keep up on latest of the OSs because work for Gov and we are still back on win 10 and also have no input as to what we get and what it runs.
Regarding Remote Desktop - is it not a security risk to use Remote Desktop over the internet. I thought Remote Desktop was really only secure in an local area network?
Thanks for the info :)
So it is still full of broken features and bloatware but it has a native virtual machine. Wow totally worth it 🙄
In era or windows XP and Vista, many programs will straight up not install in Home Edition. MS Office professional would need windows XP Pro. Things have changed a lot. I straight up gave up after windows 7.
"Should you upgrade?"
*me: it's time for Windows Homepro*
What About Windows 11 Enterprise?
i downloaded windows 11 iso from microsoft website and it upgraded my licensed windows 10 Home to licensed Windows 11 Pro so i didnt just upgrade OS but level of OS aswell for free :D
the pro version allow for all languages while the home version allow one by default now that is pretty cool
I AM USING WINDOWS 11 PRO AND IT IS GOOD.
Welcome to the Windows 11 pro gang
@@thetriangleboi thanks
@@thetriangleboi I will join soon once my DDR5 gets delivered.
I ain't gon upgrade to windows 11 tbh I loved the idea of windows 11 when it came out... But only one big huge problem ... Me being used to windows 10 for a very long time felt that windows 11 limited my functionality
I don’t know any professionals and business that run virtual machines that insane on a pc. Usually on a server. That’s insane
Thank u bro
For explaining 🤗
I'm playing this video in 1.25x speed

Same @@thumirawickramasinghe9670My brain just finds it difficult to absorb information if someone speaks too slowly. I don't speak too fast myself, but I cognate words about 2 or 3 times faster than the average person speaks, and considering this is a review targeted at beginners/the LCD, he is speaking even more slowly than the average American would talk in a conversation. It's fine, but for me, it's somewhat painful, so 1.25 to 2x speed is ideal with many videos like this.
Fair he talks slow
Thanks
bro gave me a good explanation.
"...supports up to one CPU..." So, I don't need a CPU to run Windows 11 home? Awesome!
Thanks for detailed information
Thanks naa daily for another windows 11 video hope there's more coming soon
More to come!
HOW IS WINDOWS 11 IN FIELD OF GAMING?? IS IT WORTH IT TO SWITCH FROM WIN 10??
@@Krishnendulaha sadly i can't play (almost) ANYTHING because i don't have a Gaming GPU anymore
Awesome explanation 😀 thank you
Its awkward to see content about Windows having macbooks on the rolling videos. 😅
