windows 10 pro worth it?

Is windows 10 pro worth getting over home? Doesn't seem like there are that many better features. So I recently bought a new laptop that came with windows 10 home. My old laptop has windows 7 pro. Is it possible to put the old hdd with windows 7 pro into the secondary hdd bay of the new laptop and install windows 10 pro over the windows 10 home hdd? Any benefit from doing that?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/WindowsForBusiness/Compare will show the difference between the two
But for a home user, no real benefit into going with pro

Is it possible, maybe. But its a breach of the licensing agreement as the windows 7 pro license is tied to the laptop that it came with and you are not allowed to move it
 
The two things worth it for Pro: bitlocker and allowing RDP connections to the machine. Both are not essential for most folks.
