windows 10 pro vs windows 10 home

Post by Pat »

I currently have an Asus laptop I purchased in 2012, it may be getting old. Already the sound is stuffed, see other post.
I have been perusing laptops from Acer, Asus and Lenovo.
My laptop has the following, I don't know if it is Windows 10 Pro or not.

The new laptops offer Windows 10 Home.

My question is does windows 10 Home offer enough features? Or what features does Windows 10 Home not provide?

Also as can be seen my laptop has a 16Gb ram, the others only offer 8 Gb, what are the advantages of 16 vs 8?

To know which edition of Windows 10 you have, press the Windows key, type system and select System Information from the search results.

See Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro vs Windows 10 S for an overview of the differences.
8 GB RAM should be sufficient for most purposes.

Seems I have Windows 10 Pro, from your link Home should be sufficient although if I buy it from Amazon I could stay with Pro.
Good to know re 16 vs 8.
I forgot, thank you.
