Microsoft has always made several editions for Windows. These are typically Windows Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education, with some previous versions having things like Windows 7 "Home Premium" and Windows "Ultimate Edition". But with Windows 10, are there really that many differences between the Home and Pro versions? This video goes into what those are, and who might be actually interested in the extra features, or whether you don't need them at all.

No I use Windows 7 pro atm but that was mainly because my PC has more Ram in it than the home edition could handle but I'm in the process of about to upgrade to Windows 10 Home because I don't see myself needing more RAM and 10 Home can handle the amount of RAM I have anyway as I have 32GB RAM

Great info, I was wondering what the difference was. I especially was interested in Hyper-V, I can definitely see a use for that. I have pro, but haven't really dived too deep into it. Been loving Windows 10 though, no real complaints other that some minor problems I experienced last year with services not working that I never used so... no biggy. They fixed it and all is fine now. I didn't upgrade from Windows 7 until the start of 2019, I waited for the major bugs to be ironed out and they were. Microsoft has always been good when it comes to fixing bugs that crop up.
As for the RAM... who will possibly need more than 640K?! 1MB? That's insane! ;)
I like not being forced to update when gaming.
Then you need the pro version. An other nice feature of Windows Pro is that you can switch it to S mode as you like. That means that you use normal mode, install the software you need and then switch to S mode. Then you are safe from attach from malware that can else be installed on your computer without you know.
i use Windows XP Professional.
Cool
Windows 7 is better
Comes from the guy Windows Vista
I used to have a brain, but it just exploded.
Damn u must be rich
I've always been using the Pro versions of Windows. Now spending most of my time abroad and now building another rig, I never explored the other versions. Thanks for the great information. Yes, I'll be staying with Pro.
I use Pro. Our school uses Enterprise but I’m not sure if they’re aware of Education. I’m not too sure what the difference is either. But it’s easy to bypass UAC.
the pro version is better to office ; we have the windows 10 pro , are you want to try ;

One of the benefits of Pro vs Home for a general user, is probably user admin tools. The ability to add, remove users and set groups. Enabling the guest account etc. Just in case you want to let people use your computer/laptop without having to create an entire new user profile/permission set. Or give access to your user with all your personal files. Even though W10 home is meant to be dumbed down. I think it would have been nice to offer this one feature to give home users a little bit more control over their machine.
Thanks for the detailed information! Was just wondering if there lies any difference in the efficiency of the antivirus between Windows Pro and Home?
None
You can also delay updates on Windows 10 Home by telling it that your internet connection is metered.

I know you want to know who liked your comment, i did
The feature I care about the most is Group policy Editor which you can enable on home version of windows
Great vid! Thanks for the help 😀
Thank you for the care and enthusiasm you put into your content.
If you're a cyber security guy or gal, you might also want to delay updates to test malware to see if you're environment is vulnerable to the malware as is before deciding on updating, or to simply reverse engineer malware that a particular environment is vulnerable to. Normally you'd to this in a VM, but it's feasible you have a machine set up for this specifically (sandbox).
3:12 Linus from linus tech tips smiling in proud.
1:55 yeah... I‘m searching for an other solution for this problem. I only have the home version😒
There was one important difference we ran into with XP Home versus XP Pro, where the former would only allow 5 file-sharing connections at once, while in the latter the limit was 10.
Of course, Linux has no limit. Guess what happened to the XP installations ...
@RLTest-cf3fe Still too limited, I’m afraid.
Thank you man, nice explanation. I was realy able to understand the differences between the vesions. keep it up man
Honestly, I always tell everyone I get to to use Sandbox when trying out possible threats, be it forwarding access to a unknown usb device, downloading pdfs and sometimes e-mail. It is a great addition to any security tool box, and really sad it is restricted to pro
i've never heard of hyper-v but want to try it out. good thing i figured out i had pro recently
I came across this video and wanted to say "Thank You" it was very informative and you were very knowledgeable in explaining everything. I enjoyed and you did real well... thank you. I'm going to subscribe so I can see and learn from more of your videos.
My questions are these... I have 2 Dell computers, both with Windows 10 Home, and they are both different, ie settings , control panel, etc, are different formats/designs.
How are the menu's of Pro laid out?
The date on this video is December 2017; It is now March 2020. Perhaps there are updates or improvements to put into a new video - TY
I use Pro and I just recommended a laptop for a friend and was wondering what's the difference between the two OSs. Thanks much for your detailed explanation. I'd strongly recommend the Home Edition...clearly it's as stable as the Pro Edition and the differences seem to benefit the corporate user and not the home user.
Group Policy Editor is awesome, and worth the extra IMO. Saves doing things via registry tweaks.
Tru
It also does one important thing that's impossible from the registry: making Windows 10 not bother you with updates unless you ask it to handle them. GPEdit makes it possible to make Windows 10 only apply updates when explicitly asked from Settings, or even only download when asked.
You can download that in home tho. I did it and it's like having pro.
Yep must have feature to disable all the crap ms put in windows 10.
@@ThioJoe
I stopped using Windows with Win7, when my Win7 Install finally gave out. Now, here I am a few years later, thinking about trying Win 10 or 11. I'm doing research, now. So, I don't know nothing about Win 10 or 11.
You said that Pro Workstation could support multiple CPU's, bur regular Pro couldn't.
I have an Intel CPU with eight cores in it. Is that what you was talking about? Win 10 Pro can only support one of the cores? There is also HyperThreading, were each core has HyperThreading. That's not supported? Or did you mean a mobo with multiple physical CPU's?
Logically, a single physical CPU with multiple cores appears to Windows the same as multiple physical CPU's. That would be a major drawback, if that's what you meant, that Win10 Pro can only support one core.
8:16 you can also use it to buy one copy of Microsoft office, for example and use it on all windows 10 devices you own. So it can also be used personally.
Damn that vista box is so nostalgic

Very helpful video, thanks! Windows Home is good for home. Since I have Pro I might try out the virtual desktop that is built in to see what it's like. Being able to delay updates is really the key advantage for most people.
Great camera, what kind are u using?
My computer is a standalone kind and I upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Professional. Windows 10 Professional works good for me, and I do not have face lots of problems, such as an application program responding slowly. That was a nice show, ThioJoe.
Thanks, really helped. I am searching to buy a PC and do not know if I need a windows 10 pro or not.
2:11 BitLocker reminds me of syskey, and there's a reason they removed that

Good comparison and tutorial 👍
5:08 But what if Microsoft sneaks through something as a “security” update when it’s not?
e.g. Bitlocker vs Truecrypt (now VeraCrypt).
Thanks Thio you did a good job. i am now more satisfied with my windows 10 home than i was before the video. frankly i was hoping other windows would allow more visual customization of windows such as rounded corners and maybe metallic, pearlescent. iridescent, and glossy color options.
*1 year later*
btw windows 11 is there with rounded corners but no metallic colors, there is frosted glass colors, which is like a matte pearlescent with the right wallpaper.
Remember back when Home and Pro were separated by 2 different operating systems? The Home edition running on top of MS-DOS and the Pro edition running on the NT kernel
I used to have windows 7 ultimate when i got 10 i lost all of the extra features 😞
I am curious when did this idea of "always install all available updates" start? When I was in school (early 2000's) for Microsoft certification, we were taught never install any updates unless you have an issue or feature that is specifically adressed by the update. Installing unnecessary updates only invites unforseen problems.
Ditto. One such update clobbered my print spooler for over a year & a half on my Windows 10 desktop. Patch after patch did not remedy the situation; in fact it made a few things worse.
Thanks for the info. I prefer Pro, but still have a few home version systems in the studio, unfortunately, for now. Keep up the great works, and merry Christmas / happy holidays! :)
Great video ThioJoe thank you.
You can enable Group Policy Editor by just entering some commands in cmd, and it will download it form microsoft
there are guides online, and it worked for me!
Bitlocker and remote desktop access is essential for my business and the bigger memory will be very useful.

Thio, I have a problem. The Magic select tool image

Home for Windows. What should I do now?
when you have windows pro do you get Word, Powerpoint, Excel with it?
I've been wanting to get Windows 10 for a while now and I'm beginning to think that the home version may be better than the pro version for me.
What about RAM consumption ?
With all the extra features you mentioned added on Pro, doesn't it consume a little more RAM and resources than Home ?
Why would it? Win10 Pro doesn’t have any extra things which involve background processes.
Thank you for the excellent explanation new subscriber .
Thank you so much this helps a lot love your video
After watching this video I've decided to go back to windows 7.
Thats what I'm using..I prefere it to #10
I just bought windows 10 but was on 7 since its beginning and it's the best other than xp.
If 10 sux as bad as I fear it might.
Boom! Right back to 7 pro I shall go.
Windows 10 is kinda weird when it has control panel and settings seperatrly.
You know that i tried different version of windows 10 on my laptop (msi ge72), and when disabling defender, gameDVR etc via registry editor windows 10 doesn't seem to like it and gives up after a few months, GPU at 80% max, big lags. Looks like imma install windows 7 xD
Else on my desktop windows 10 is awesome, works incredibly fast even with a HDD and no bug even when touching the registry a lot. So weird
@Diego well RAM for gaming ain't THE main concern, even with 8GB on one stick it's enough for 95% of normally optimized games. But i'm okay with you :)
But i don't know, my MSI ge72 ain't really compatible with Windows 7, drivers must be installed manually when installing windows, they aren't optimized etc.. so i never really bothered trying.
Else on my desktop computer i tried a few versions of windows 7, never had the full perf of my graphics card (GTX 660 8 years ago) so i updated to a clean installe of w7 home, then pro and same problem.. even with latest or old, optimized drivers. Went to windows 10 and had a performance boost of 20-25% on my graphics card (GTA 5 from high 70 fps to very high 75 after the update).

A bit outdated but still pretty relevant 2021. You're very good at explaining stuff, Joe !

When I set up my pc I selected windows 10 home but I want to use a windows 10 pro key, can i use a windows 10 pro key on a windows 10 home pc?
I've got an idea for a feature for windows: If Windows forces an update or you forgot to delay it, Windows first saves all data of for example documents or games or anything you have open at that time and only after that, updates.

3:46 So we can run Linux and windows at the same time the same desktop?
You can do that with Linux and WINE for free
Great video. Did you mention about LTSC version before? It must be nice to know about it.
Group Policy is very useful indeed, as some settings are only available through there. Would have been easier if all settings were controlled through registry, so I could just have several files I could run after installing Windows. There are ways to automate group policy but they’re far less straightforward than simply clicking on .reg files
The virtualization is pretty handy. I tend to test out a lot of shady applications. LOL
A friend of my runs big servers for company’s and they use arosund 600gb of ram
In Pro version via Group Policy Editor you can set windows not to update automatically or even not to scan for updates, I like this feature very much cuz windows will update only when i click "update" button on my own
