Greeting community! My question is around upgrading my gaming laptop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10. I'm eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 Home edition, but want to know advantages in going to Windows 10 Pro. In this post: I see the only need would be for 'Support for Windows XP Mode for legacy applications'. Is this the case? Are there any performance differences between Home and Pro?
Thank you very much for the responses. Best Regards, Matt.
For gaming, nope, you will get the same performance regardless of edition. Recently Microsoft has posted Windows 10 comparison chart where it compares feature by feature of various editions. Please check this: If you see the 'Core Experience' of various editions are same so the difference is noticeable only in 'Business Experience', So click on those to notice the difference. Microsoft has also provided a PDF comparing all the editions, that can be downloaded from (this has been taken from the same link given above.) Thanks (Microsoft MVP) Overview of Windows 10 Editions As in the past, we will offer different Windows editions that are tailored for various device families and uses. These different editions address specific needs of our various customers, from consumers to small businesses to the largest enterprises.
