Question Ordering new Computer - Do I want Windows 10, 10 Pro, or 11?

[DWalton567]

Hello,

Simple question I think.
I'm ordering an i9K, 64GB stock trading and music PC.
I read Window's explanation of:
- Win10 vs. Win 10 Pro, etc.
- Win10, with license for Win 11?
- go straight to Win 11?

Do I care?
What are the real differences in software (some of the site's pros and cons don't even make sense to me) or system integrity?
Am I better without the Windows newest whiz bang whatever PRO background processes are going on in the background?


Thank you. A simple answer is fine. I know you smart guys are busy solving bigger computer problems than this.

If you're getting a 12th gen Intel processor, you need Windows 11 to get the most out of it due to having an optimized scheduler.

Also you probably don't need most of the features the Pro edition provides, but feel free to look at Microsoft's comparison at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compare-windows-11-home-vs-pro-versions

I would grab Windows 11 Home, most people don't need the extras that come with Pro.
