The bold parts are the Windows 10 Pro only features. In short, you can defer windows updates in Pro and remote access. Plus Pro is for business so it allows domain login etc.

- PCs, tablets and 2-in-1s
- Cortana Assistant
- Microsoft Edge web browser
- Continuum tablet mode for touch-capable devices
- Windows Hello face-recognition, iris and fingerprint login
- universal Windows apps like Photos, Maps, Mail, Calendar, Music and Video
- Ability to capture and share game play for XBOX One owners
- Domain Join Services
- BitLocker Drive Encryption
- Remote Access Services
- Group Policy editor
- Windows Update for Business

Hi Jonathan,

Google is your friend

Tells you all the differences - just change from business to home (couldn't find the direct link)

TL;DR - if you're a 'home' user - you probably don't need pro

Also - Way Way waaaay too slow to reply

Is the home version faster?

Is the home version faster?

No, slow in terms of replies

Its no faster but has less features, unless you are a businessman or work in an office environment then there would be no need for Pro.

Pro doesn't mean better, and it never did. It's a mistake to think you're getting a slicker or more powerful version of Windows if you go for Pro. In fact you're probably getting a set of features that you'll never or rarely use.

The only 2 things I use in pro at home is the Remote Desktop feature and Defer updates.
