By Microsoft had to face considerable backlash for Windows 8.1, which is undoubtedly one of their least popular versions of Windows ever released. With Windows 10, the old world of charm of Windows is back. Windows 10 was launched in three different versions – Home, Pro, and Pro for Workstations. Windows 10 Pro was chiefly designed for small businesses and professionals. Good thing is you can download the Pro version for free, but to activate the same, you need Windows 10 Pro key. In this post, we are discussing some of the aspects that are worth knowing about the Pro version before buying a key.
Windows 10 Pro vs. Home
At the basic level, Windows 10 Pro and Home work in the same way, although the Pro version does have a few extras that are designed and added for work purposes. The Pro edition includes everything that the Home edition offers, along with privacy and a few exclusive connectivity tools. So, you have options like Assigned Access 8.1, Remote Desktop, Domain Join, Group Policy Management, Bitlocker, and Enterprise Mode Internet Explorer (EMIE). BitLocker, in particular, is a powerful tool for disk encryption, which allows the user to encrypt external USB drives. Also, there is a Business Store that only Pro users can access.
Understanding Windows 10 Pro Key
Keys have been a standard feature of Windows for a while now. You can install Windows 10 Pro without the key, but if you don’t buy one, you cannot access some of the personalization and other features that the full version offers. Furthermore, it is pretty annoying to have a watermark on the desktop that says “Activate Windows”. The best way to get the key for Windows 10 Pro is to check the official Microsoft website. There are a bunch of other vendors who sell keys for a lower price, and these are authentic too, depending on the source. If you are buying from a third-party site, always check the validity of the key.
Final word
There is no denying that Windows 10 Pro is one of the better versions of Windows to have come out in recent years, and it is pretty feature-oriented, especially for professionals and needs of small businesses. You may want to consider getting the Home version, provided you don’t need the features that we just talked about. Once installed and activated, you will get regular updates from Windows for no extra charge.
