Windows 10 Editions

Windows 10 has the following major editions:

1. Home
2. Pro
3. Enterprise
4. Education

There are some other editions like Enterprise LTSC and a few others but these editions are not a part of regular release. Microsoft sometimes releases these editions and sometimes skips them. Besides skipping, Microsoft can replace or terminate such editions. So users should focus on regular editions which are released with each version update and get the latest updates regularly.

Microsoft has not released Windows 10 Ultimate Edition just like Windows 7 Ultimate. It might never release because there was no ultimate edition released for Windows 8 as well.

Let’s have a look at how each edition is different from others and which edition of Windows 10 is best for you.

Windows 10 Home

The home edition is the basic edition of Windows 10. It is suitable for normal computing. If you use your computer for general purposes and simple office work then you can use the home edition. Don’t underestimate Home Edition by its name because it is not as basic as you might consider. Unlike Windows 7 home editions, Windows 10 Home has more freedom and features. For example, one limitation of Home is that it supports only up to 128 GB RAM memory on the 64-bit version. Seriously, this is 2019 and there is no 128 GB memory available in the market. A maximum of 16 GB RAM is installed in the best gaming computers.

Windows 10 Pro (Professional)

The professional edition is suitable for smart businesses and professionals who use computers as an important part of their working environment such as photography, video editing, troubleshooting, virtualization, etc.

Windows 10 Pro edition includes all features included in the Home edition, plus the following features:

• BitLocker
• Windows To Go

• Joining Windows domain

and more features useful for business.

The 64-bit version of Windows 10 Pro supports up to 2 TB RAM.

Windows 10 Enterprise

Enterprise edition is designed for large businesses, organizations, and IT professionals. Overall, it has most features than all other editions. Though, it seems a great choice with maximum features, most of its features might be not practically usable by you or your company.

Windows 10 Enterprise Edition is suitable for organizations that are either dealing in the IT profession or has a dedicated team of IT professionals to manage complicated tasks. It is generally observed that the Enterprise edition is not suitable for individuals and non-IT literate organizations.

You will need Microsoft Volume License to activate and use the Enterprise edition.

Enterprise edition covers almost all features of the Pro edition, plus the following features:

• AppLocker

Windows 10 Education

The education edition of Windows 10 is developed for academic institutes like schools, colleges, universities, libraries, etc. Microsoft Academy Volume License is required to activate and use Windows 10 Education.

This edition has almost the same features as Enterprise except for some business-level features. All features of Windows 10 Pro are covered in the Education edition.
