The Big Decision

When buying a Windows license, the most common question is: "Do I really need Pro?" For most casual users, Home is sufficient, but Pro offers crucial features for businesses and enthusiasts.

Deep Dive: Key Differences

1. Security (BitLocker)

Windows 11 Pro includes BitLocker, which encrypts your entire drive. If your laptop is stolen, your data remains unreadable without your password. Home lacks this full-disk encryption.

2. Remote Desktop

If you want to connect to your PC from another location (e.g., work from home), you need Pro. Home can connect to other PCs, but cannot host a connection.

3. Virtualization (Hyper-V)

For developers needing to run virtual machines (Linux, older Windows), Pro has native Hyper-V support.
