Windows 10 Pro: Advantages & Considerations
Advantages: Windows 10 Pro delivers enterprise-grade security features including BitLocker full-disk encryption, Windows Hello for Business passwordless authentication, and Windows Defender Antivirus integration. The operating system supports remote desktop connectivity for accessing files across your network, Active Directory domain joining for centralised IT management, and Group Policy for applying security policies across multiple devices. Monthly security updates and automatic threat protection ensure your business data remains safeguarded against emerging cyber threats.
Considerations: Windows 10 Pro enforces mandatory system updates that may occasionally restart your device, potentially interrupting workflow during critical business moments. Some users find the operating system's user account control (UAC) prompts occasionally intrusive when installing software or making system changes. Additionally, while Windows 10 remains widely supported, Microsoft has progressively shifted focus toward Windows 11, meaning long-term support for Windows 10 will eventually conclude.
