If you're looking for the best out-of-the-box security experience, I would rank like this: Enterprise (ideally IoT LTSC) Pro Home Enterprise: (especially IoT LTSC) offers the most locked-down environment, with fewer preinstalled apps, reduced bloat, and access to advanced security features. It’s designed for stability and minimal attack surface. Pro: Provides a strong choice over Home, adding more "security" like BitLocker and better system control compared to Home. Home: Includes solid baseline security, but lacks many of the advanced configuration and hardening options available in higher editions. Note: Pro and Home comes with a lot of bloatware and AI stuff, so security is really a big question here. Or you can try Education version too, I never tried it but I heard a lot of good about that version too. For activation I would use MAS: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/tsforge-activation-windows-esu-office-mas.88999/
