[AccessD] Windows11 pro

[jamesbutton at blueyonder.co.uk]

AFAIK 
Pro includes:
Bitlocker (with its benefits and problems).
Remote desktop access.
VM /  Sandbox.

Some setup/control options for such things as windows update, and user access
options -
 ( often seem nice ideas - but then their effect is even more annoying - such as
those causing the display of messages such as  "your administrator has
prohibited some actions!! )
Also seems that Pro needs more RAM for some environment setup, as does x64 over
x32/86.

There is also (from posts) some problems with 10 & 11 systems in a LAN setup -
Workgroups 
And maybe also with Personal Cloud, SYNC at MS account, Office, Outlook and Edge
- as well as hardware profile settings on different devices with the same user
account Sync'ing the settings.

Although some of those may have been "tweaked" by MS.

Also - with licences  check what one you will get ..
Owned by you (as in updated from 7 etc.  under your windows account logon).
Retail and owned by you.
OEM for the hardware it is originally installed on, came with, and still is on.
OEM and MS allowed you to transfer it to an updated hardware environment.
Academic.
Corporate.
Government.
USA, UK, English.
EU.
Far East.
Other localities worldwide 
(I am not aware of interplanetary, extrasolar, or interstellar licence variants
at this time.)

Hi John

Perhaps. I'm not familiar with the Home version, but we've used Windows 11
Pro/Workstation/Enterprise since the release and now on all desktops/laptops
with zero issues.

I don't like the start menu - too much 7-style for me - but I can live with it.
You will probably love it.

The only modification we apply is to remove the "widgets" and, in Edge, all the
preinstalled shortcuts, clean the interface to minimalist, set all privacy
settings to off, and install Adblock Plus. It takes a minute or so. Again, zero
issues with Edge and Bing, and Chrome is banned to prevent our full browsing
history to be tracked by Google.

One area that is vastly improved with Windows 11 is the Windows Update. This
alone should kill any resistance to upgrade.

I have resisted upgrading to windows 11 forever because it seems like a big
advertisement.  I just got an offer to buy the pro version for $25 from stack
social.  Is there any chance that the pro version will be less obnoxious than
the home version?
