Locked Is there a benefit to DL Win 11 Pro?

[Paeonin]

I'm getting a Win 11 Home PC.

When I had Windows 10, the Solutions And Discussions thread clarifying the differences between the windows 10 versions was very helpful.
It helped me decide to torrent Win 10 Pro because I wanted to have native access to group policy settings + Hyper V. I looked, but couldn't find a similar discussion for Windows 11.

I appreciated the option for improved privacy settings from access to the group policy, but in reality I just use Windows Privacy Dashboard and O&O Shutup to change my settings.

According to Google, I'm just missing out on Windows Information Protection and Bitlocker device encryption, which is fine.

Is there any other reason, particularly for privacy, for me to download a Windows 11 Pro build and install over the preinstalled Windows 11 Home I'll get?

I'll just show you the list, and if you want to talk about something specific, we can.
I highlighted the No to make it easier to check.

Feature	Windows 11 Home	Windows 11 Pro
Set up with a local account	No	Only when set up for work or school
Join Active Directory/Azure AD	No	Yes
Hyper-V	No	Yes
Windows Sandbox	No	Yes
Microsoft Remote Desktop	Client only	Yes
Windows Hello	Yes	Yes
Device encryption	Yes	Yes
Firewall and network protection	Yes	Yes
Internet protection	Yes	Yes
Parental controls/protection	Yes	Yes
Secure Boot	Yes	Yes
Windows Defender Antivirus	Yes	Yes
BitLocker device encryption	No	Yes
Windows Information Protection	No	Yes
Mobile device management (MDM)	No	Yes
Group Policy	No	Yes
Enterprise State Roaming with Azure	No	Yes
Assigned Access	No	Yes
Dynamic Provisioning	No	Yes
Windows Update for Business	No	Yes
Kiosk mode	No	Yes
Maximum RAM	128GB	2TB
Maximum no. of CPUs	1	2
Maximum no. of CPU cores	64	128
Encryption File System (EFS)	No	Yes

Those are the main differences but due to the number of updates that happened since the release of 11, there might be a few things missing.

If you're a developer, you'll want to explore Windows Subsystem for Linux which I have found to be the best workflow for myself personally.
It's very, very nice to run Linux inside Win11 for all your dev needs. Keeps the host system nice and clean while compartmentalizing development into a purely linux environment.

Other than that, unless you care about TPM 2.0 security, there really isn't too much other than the crispy UI which I've grown to really like.

I use Home edtion, less bloatware and i never use the extra stuff that comes with Pro edition.

Seriously appreciate it. Thank you so much. A lot of things happened and I lost my oppurtunity to get what I had planned for now, but this is really helpful.. Thanks a mil again. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to reply before.
