Consumers can easily get the Pro edition instead of Home. There used to be even a update purchase link in some control.exe applet.
It is the Enterprise and LTSC editions, that consumers do not have access to. But for the purposes above, Pro is enough (and most popular in business).
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoPro edition is not the same as business edition, it's still consumer edition with same dark patterns.
- vetinari 3y agoThere's no business edition. There's Home, Pro, Enterprise (E3, E5); with variants for N (no media) and Education. That's it. Enterprise doesn't have Appstore crap preinstalled, and has some features that you wouldn't want at home anyway (it is enteprise-oriented crap instead). Not every business runs Enterprise edition.
- _cenw 3y agoThey name install media accordingly - if you have access to MVS or VLSC you can check it yourself. Consumer includes Home and Pro. Business includes Pro, Education, Pro for Workstations (which is Pro without dark patterns even when not domain joined) and Enterprise. These ISOs also usually include all N variants.
