Windows 10?

[kr1v]

Well, gbatemp.net it is! Can't figure out how to post on reddit. Anyway, I've been asking myself thins question for a while now and I still don't know the answer. The question is: what is the version of windows 10 with the most features? I've heard answers like enterprise, server versions, but I still don't know (wanted letdown emoji here but froze chrome)

There are good sub-categories on Reddit, but I honestly would rather avoid if. If I visit it, I just do it as a guest.

Anyway, for me, my favorite Windows 10 version is the LTSC Build 1809 (2019). This one has no Edge browser, Cortana, Windows Store, or constant updates. Plus, it has extended support until 2029 rather than 2025 (commercial editions Home/Pro).

Moreover, the Windows 10 version with the most features is probably the Pro, but with most features you also get a lot of Microsoft's trash bundled with it.

For a home user though, I guess Windows 10 Pro for Workstation would be the most feature packed.

Are you asking out of hypothetical reasons or because you're looking at which version to install?

I ask because things like Server are ABSOLUTELY not for domestic users and some software I tried to install by default wouldn't even let me because it assumed I was a commercial user (Note: I got my license from uni).

I did use Enterprise at one point, but I ended up switching back to Pro because the W10 version would be too far behind for some games and was a bit annoying to update (although that may have since improved).

you should update 1809 has elevated privileg vulnerability https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2018-8592

even if its not a big entry point since the attacker needs physical acces to the computer there are still other entry points possible

Windows 10 Pro has everything the average person could need, you will honestly be fine with that.

Enterprise has more features under the hood that would be of little use to you at home, such as controlling the start menu via group policy for example.

It gets its updates every month accordingly, or do you mean upgrade to a newer build?

Thanks for all the answers! I am looking for the version with the most features, not that I am gonna install it or something but yeah! (so the version with most features out of all, not useful for home use doesn't matter)

If you ever consider installing 11 (I personally won't), don't use the Home version if you're fine logging in to your Microsoft account (Hotmail/Outlook). The "Pro" version doesn't require that.

Got my new school laptop and it was 11 home... My school wasn't ready for win 11 yet

11 is basically 10 reskinned with more restrictions and a simplified Android/Mac OS-like UI.

Rufus allows 11 to install on any PC if anyone wants, but why.

So, so true, I don't even want 11 it's so bad, heard of pc health check? Complete garbage

Unless you are on a corporate environment you will never need enterprise version, they only have thing for help the IT department to distribute configurations and to interact with a Active Directory Domain (don't worry you don't need to know what that is).

So Pro is the version with most features you will ever need.

There a lot of comparison tables out there for Windows like this one Windows 10 version overview or this Windows 10 comparison

yeah you will definetly have the fix update for that vulnerability but as a thumb rule always use lates build and latest patches

there are always entry points for instance even on the latest win 11 you could use azure to get acces to microsoft account and then you could remoteshell in to that pc (i wont exactly explain how) and even the latest edge revision could also be exploited

I just use home. Edge is good for installing apps in dev mode on the series x. Sometimes other browsers get stuck. Also, the Microsoft store is good for wsl, which is what I often use to compile things.

Aw nice, it's cool there's finally a use for a Microsoft browser.

I've only had it happen once, when I was using firefox. it got stuck during an install, so I had to close it, then use edge. I read somewhere that it is indeed recommended with the series x/xbone for reasons such as that.
