A small business is looking to upgrade its computers and is considering different editions of Windows 10 for their workstations. The business requires encryption of sensitive data, the ability to join a domain, and the management of local policies. Which Windows 10 edition should be recommended to meet these needs?
Windows 10 Pro should be recommended as it provides the ability to join a domain and manage local policies through the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). Additionally, it includes BitLocker, which allows for the encryption of sensitive data. Windows 10 Home does not support domain joining or Group Policy and lacks BitLocker. Windows 10 Enterprise would also meet these needs but may offer more features than necessary and at a higher cost. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is designed for high-performance tasks and supports advanced hardware configurations which may be beyond the scope of what a small business typically requires.
