    Enterprise obviously has more features, but the way you ask this question indicates you won't need them...so better is relative here :D.

    Problem is more the nearly total lack of useful apps :g:. Might be nice to surf F**kbook and Youtube, but that's it and i use neither of those :cool2:.

    You can but without utilizing the advanced features it's just overkill. Pro is mostly more than enough.

    This is true, Windows 10 in S mode and Windows 10 S aren't too useful for most use cases yet (besides just surfing the web, using office, and other basic tasks), however, it will be eventually as more apps are on-boarded to the Microsoft Store

    Hopefully that'll change in 2019 because of Windows Core OS, which is supposed to make Store apps and progressive web apps first class essentially, but we won't know until then i suppose.

    But I have changed my motherboard because it died but all was good

    Upgrading from 7 will never have established a HWID for ProfessionalWorkstation.

    For Pro and Home only.

    Pro for Workstations != Pro, it needs it's own HWID!

    This has been happening ever since 17093. I get explore.exe restart every 2-3 seconds. I have to go to task manager, kill explorer, then start it from SysWOW64 so that I can bring up diagnostics. This is what I get. Anyone have any ideas?
