Key features

  • Start menu & desktop — the classic, productive Windows layout

  • Microsoft Edge — fast, modern browsing
  • Device encryption — basic drive protection on supported hardware

Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro

Home covers everything most users need. Pro adds business tools — BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop (host), Hyper-V virtualization and domain join. If you only use your PC at home for browsing, study, work and gaming, Home is the right choice. Need to join a work network or run BitLocker? Choose Windows 10 Pro instead.

System requirements

  • Processor: 1 GHz or faster, 64-bit or 32-bit
  • RAM: 2 GB (64-bit) or 1 GB (32-bit)
