The work-around for Windows 10 Home edition: disabling the Windows Update service and then remembering to turn it back on. While most consider this insufficient control over the entire update process, it’s more than Windows 10 Home offers. Windows 10 Pro allows you to pause updates for up to 35 days. The work-around for Windows 10 Home edition: third-party tools like VeraCrypt. Honestly, if you travel with your laptop, BitLocker is a pretty compelling reason to get Windows 10 Pro. BitLocker, Windows’ whole-drive encryption support, is available only in Windows 10 Professional. If you’re at all interested in encrypting the entire hard drive on your machine using built-in support, you’ll want Windows 10 Pro. Some are more powerful, allowing easy connection across the internet others are more along the lines of Remote Desktop, and most easily set up locally. The work-around for Windows 10 Home edition: third-party tools like Team Viewer or VNC (Virtual Network Connection). Honestly, it’s Remote Desktop that makes Windows 10 Pro worth it for me, and Windows 10 Home significantly less useful. Ironically, that means that Remote Desktop is best used to connect to local machines … remotely.) I use it constantly to connect to computers running in my basement, for example, without needing to run up and down stairs each time. (It is possible to use Remote Desktop across the internet, but it’s not easy. This becomes significant for anyone with multiple computers in a home. Unfortunately, Windows 10 Home doesn’t support RDP, so you cannot connect to a computer running Windows 10 Home edition using Remote Desktop you’ll need Windows 10 Professional. That means you can connect from a Windows 10 Home machine to another Windows machine that supports the Remote Desktop Protocol ( RDP) service. The remote desktop client is present in all editions of Windows 10. The user interface provided by the Group Policy Editor is a significantly easier, more comfortable way to make common changes to your system. Playing around in the registry is certainly do-able, but it’s error prone, and certainly more arcane than most people are interested in dealing with. The work-around for Windows 10 Home edition involves modifying registry settings manually. The problem - from my perspective - is that the Group Policy Editor provides easy access to a number of important system settings and configuration choices. This might seem like a fairly benign omission, and to be completely honest, for most folks it’s no big deal. Windows 10 Pro includes the Group Policy Editor (File, Run, gpedit.msc).
#BURNAWARE PRO VS PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL#
It’s Windows 10 Professional that I generally recommend for everyone. Unfortunately, Windows 10 Professional includes a couple of features I consider exceptionally convenient, even for the average home user. Most new machines come with Windows 10 Home, particularly when sold to individuals. When it comes to personal or small business use, the choice generally boils down to either Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional. More advanced editions include additional features and cost more. Windows 10 is available in several “editions”.
