Your small-business client needs a Windows 10 edition that is designed for advanced business tasks and supports joining an Active Directory domain and hosting Remote Desktop sessions. Which edition is the most cost-effective option to meet these requirements?
Windows 10 Pro is the correct choice. It supports domain join, Remote Desktop host, BitLocker, and Group Policy management, making it appropriate for small and medium businesses that need these capabilities without the higher licensing costs of Enterprise or Pro for Workstations.
Windows 10 Home is aimed at consumers and cannot join a domain or host Remote Desktop sessions.
Windows 10 Enterprise includes all Pro features plus AppLocker, DirectAccess, and other advanced tools, but it is licensed through volume agreements and is priced for larger organizations.
Windows 10 Pro for Workstations adds ReFS, persistent memory, and support for up to four CPUs and 6 TB RAM, which raises its cost and targets high-performance workloads rather than standard business use.
