Win 10 Home or Pro?

[Jose]

I'm about to begin building a new computer, something I haven't done in years, and I'm wondering if I should load it with Home or Pro Edition. Computer will be my main Windows computer and I plan on doing most of my PC gaming on it (I've been using my Mac with Boot Camp/Win7 installed). Are there any advantages/disadvantages to running Pro over Home? This will also be the computer I let people use whenever they come over to my house (mainly just family) and I've had issues with viruses getting installed on it. I would be interested in setting up some sort of "parental" controls to prevent this happening again if possible.

Pro, bro.

[Silverback]

Pro offers these features over Home. If you don't need any of them, you don't need Pro

Join a domain
BitLocker encryption
Group Policy Management
Remote Desktop (RDP)
Hyper-V
Trusted Boot
Assigned access

and these "business features"
Enterprise Mode for IE
Windows Store for Business
Windows Update for Business

Cool, thanks for clearing that up Matt.

Install whichever one you can get a torrent of.

Mission Accomplished.

This is also something to think about. I don't know which one you have.

How much RAM does each edition of Windows 10 support?

Windows 10 Home 32 bit 4 GBs
Windows 10 Home 64 bit 128 GBs
Windows 10 Pro 32 bit 4 GBs
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit 512 GBs
Windows 10 Enterprise/Education 32 bit 4 GBs
Windows 10 Enterprise/Education 64 bit 512 GBs

RAM isn't even a consideration, neither should be running any 32bit version of Windows 10

Some of us have more than 128GB of ram, Silverback.

I don't even have 128GB on all of my computers combined.

on a "workstation" OS?

Server side, sure you should probably consider it, but I don't know of anyone running a workstation OS that needs 128GB of RAM for "gaming"

[abecx]

I manipulate large data sets and need the 25GBps memory speed. I also have a 10GB network card that
goes to my file server to store/read data since my m.2 drive is only 1TB. I have to run multiple emulators
( Netezza and Linux obviously, one pfsense/bsd ) for development/break fix. Also, I like to keep
SW:battlefront open in the background. One last also, I like to spend money.

I just upgraded to 129 gigs!

I left the office for an hour or so today and come back to find my laptop has upgraded itself to windows 10 after months of me telling it no when it popped up. Now the speakers don't work.

You have 30 days to roll it back.
