New build - Win 11 Home or Pro (or 10)?

dubcat · 25 Oct 2023 at 08:13

Hopefully building a new PC later today. I'm going to buy a key off the interwebs for Windows. I know I only need Win 11 Home but Pro is the same price (or cheaper on some websites). Is there any downside to installing pro?

Is there any reason to choose 10 over 11?

Cheers,
Dub

I looked at this a few months ago. About an extra 200mb of diskspace was the only downside I could see. Pro ftw

If they are the same price then I would go for Pro.
I believe that only Pro/Enterprise gets bitlocker, if that is something you are interested in.

Pro V Home differences

Remote desktop (only available on Pro) is worth having for "free" if you are getting it for the same price as Home.
