DaveRo Tech: More Windows generally & 10 specifically (54* d) RE: Tech: More Windows generally & 10 specifically 20 Jun 16

I upgraded win7 pro to win10 pro on my wife's Lenovo laptop. I don't think it gives you any greater control over instrumentation (which is the less loaded word than 'phoning home') or control over updates than the home version, but it may do. There is a win10 enterprise edition, meant for businesses, which I believe does gives you more control.

Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro

(Win 10 pro doesn't contain NFS client - which as a Linux user is annoying. That needs enterprise.)

It's just occured to me that when I downloaded and installed Win 10 from the DVD, as I described, it didn't ask whether I wanted home or pro. I assume it's the same software - until you enter a product key.

You don't need to set up a Microsoft account if you don't want their 'one drive'. Just skip that step.
