Question Win11 Professional vs. Enterprise. Which one is best ?

[RosalindBarton]

Hello,
is there any advantage/disadvantage for private usage?

I have the possibility to get both and have to decided now. Normally I would say, taking the better one (Enterprise), is the better choice

Do you agree with that?

There's not really a "best" option other than not using "home".

I use ENT just because it unlocks every possible option. Is it better than pro? *shrug*

I do tend to wipe things out and upgrade when there's a significant update as well to just keep things clean. There's no real reason to just keep stacking updates upon updates and taking up more space than needed.

Now I know it won't clear out 100% of everything but in case you didn't realize, you can run disk cleanup as admin and it will give you the option to delete old windows updates and also the saved previous version of Windows after a windows upgrade if that is on your PC.

See attached screenshot I posted below.

Running "Cleanup system files" removes all old files. including the windows.old folder. No space wasted.

Not worried about the wasted space. Decluttering obsolete items is the goal as WU and other apps leave remnants. Very aware of disk cleanup and the system cleanup. It's just my preference to purge.

Windows Pro gives one the option to defer updates by up to 30 days IIRC (compared to Home's 7). Any other advantages over Home?

RDP if you have more than one system.
Not being tied to a MS account.

RDP if you have more than one system.

You mean acting as an RDP server?

Not being tied to a MS account.

You can do that on Home.

 

[Tech Junky]

RDP server

Being able to login to the PC remotely, yes.

Pro also has bitlocker, if that's important to you. Otherwise, Home is adequate for most people.

god mode should make your life easier with finding common settings to adjust. It's a must on any windows install, past or the grotesque present.
