    Security should be an expected minimum, not an add-on feature. I can understand media tools, virtualization, maybe even the hardware support being restricted to professional editions, but everyone deserves for their OS to protect them as well as possible, including securing their files and keeping them private. Imagine if certain security updates were only available for the pro edition.

      Which will feel awesome when suddenly one day, Microsoft informs you that your key is invalid. Just because it works NOW, doesn't mean it will continue to work. I bought a key from a seemingly legit source for Windows 7 (for my wife, I own Windows 7 DVD), worked fine for two years... then one day her Windows was labelled as not genuine as the key was sold by some scammer. There are ways around it, but some of us prefer to be honest.

    No mention of Enterprise or LTSB which offer differences in the age of Windows 10 that are definitely must have features, mainly I'm talking about Group Policy Management options that allow you to completely tailor the operating system to meet specific needs of an individual or corporation as well as everything in between without the worry that a program installation or (unstoppable in home and professional) Windows update is going to revert some of the customization (like turning on spying and update features previously turned off) done. It also takes away a lot of the dangers present when n00bz start messing with the registry, registry changes are also super easy for Windows updates to overwrite/delete. Also the only way to completely stop Windows from forcing updates and permanently turn off spying/Windows 10 features(like Windows Store,Cortana,Defender and many others)without using shady and adware riddled third party software is through Group Policy Management options only available in the Enterprise and LTSB editions of Windows 10. I know there is a pretty huge amount of Group Policy Management options available for Home and Professional users ;but the ability to have full administrative control over every aspect of the O/S is limited to Enterprise and LTSB editions. Windows Group Policy Management is also an interface that provides the opportunity for the less than tech savvy to really tailor their operating system for their own personal needs and flavour without any intimidation as the GUI is very user friendly and puts everything into very descriptive layman's terms. Even the adware ridden and shady 3rd party anti-Win10 spying programs can't achieve what Group Policy Management can, none of them not even the only safe and trustworthy Spybot Anti-Beacon can come close to truly blocking Windows 10 updates and spying features, while many of the shady ones are doing far worse things (you gave them full permission to legally do) than M$. I wish Linus would do a full length video for n00bz on the dangers and false comforts of editing the Registry.

      VNC is one of the solid options in my opinion, default configuration is a total lack of encryption though so at least locally run a VPN or set that up properly if you want to remote into a machine from outside your local network.
      I also vaguely recall that for windows 7 at least there were some registry tricks out there to enable the RDP host feature. To me one of the main reasons to go with pro though would be to have local group policy available, any windows machine feels crippled to me without that or proper domain based group policy.

    one of the reason why i am using windows 10 pro instead of 10 home edition, is the added support for group policy editor.
    the reason why that matters in my home environment is group policy editor, that is not present in home version of windows.
    this is needed to set windows update to only notify me about new updates, and let me decide when those get downloaded and installed to my computer.
    i do mostly install those updates within the same day that i get notified about them, but by doing this stops windows from using my already limited computing resources to updates when i'm doing other tasks. also it prevents windows 10 restarting on me without my permission.

    I recently elderly Lenovo computer’s hard drive stopped booting, yet the same hard drive is readable as a secondary drive. I didn’t want to deal with fixing or cloning it. So, purchased a newer hybrid drive an a new copy of Windows 10 Pro OEM. Most of what do goes to a cloud, so the process pretty painless. That was all about a year ago. Today my touch screen started to gravitate to the upper right corner. I managed to to turn off the touchscreen driver, and started troubleshooting. I forgot to reinstall the Lenovo update utility and Windows 10 was updating generic drivers. After about two hours of thinking and worrying I was needing a new computer, I was relieved to see the touchscreen working again. The really odd thing is that I discovered the installed version of Windows 10 was not the version written on my CD.
    My question to you: Did I screw up and choose the Home version or did I get ripped off?

    You kind of forgot the most important reasons for getting windows 10 pro:
    Integrated backups to a network drive.
    And especially for laptops: Making network folders offline available including automatic synchronization

  • @Miitchyy

    The offline files and folders feature was the reason I went pro. When I was at university I needed large data files stored on networked drives that would slow program execution dramatically if I didn't have a local copy cached.

    @BW022 7 років тому +7

    The main advantage to Pro is that it can join a domain. Almost everything else... remove control, drive encryption, etc. can be managed by third party software. RAM is silly since if you are doing virtualization (other than a few specific development cases, such as VB + Windows Mobile Emulator) you are likely talking a server copy anyway. Domains aren't really needed for homes.

    I feel like this video should be revisited in the age of working from home. The extra features in windows 10 might not have been useful when you had a windows 10 machine in the office. Now, the security and Remote Desktop features are more useful. I use the Remote Desktop feature every day to access my system in the office from home.

    Why your video is not sharp/clear at 1080 ?
