  I judge Microsoft a bit for not just discontinuing Home. Some of the missing features in Home are what I'd describe as "immoral." In that they aren't just luxuries, they're important parts of the OS or security features e.g. - Group Policy Editor: This is the primary place to modify hundreds of local computer settings. They could have left out Domain Join, and kept the local Group Policy Editor. - Start Screen Control with Group Policy: Adds more group policy options to modify the start screen/menu look/feel. - Enterprise Mode Internet Explorer: Name notwithstanding, this allows people to use legacy webapps with modern IE. - AppLocker: Security feature (isn't even in pro incidentally!). I'd turn it on. - Bitlocker: Full drive encryption (with different decryption options). - Credential Guard: Not used to protected non-domain credentials. - Trusted Boot: Because home users don't get rootkits? Windows 10 Home is categorically less secure than Windows 10 Pro, which is in turn less secure than Windows 10 Enterprise. Features like AppLocker, Credential Guard, Trusted Boot, are features that all versions of Windows could benefit from, and Bitlocker should be available and on by default. When you have a "security" category in the feature list and are differentiating different versions of the OS then you really have to ask yourself how high you prioritise security in general.
