Windows 10 Home has an extensive collection of universal apps and features that you can use across platforms with a Microsoft account on a Windows-compatible device.

Let’s review the most popular ones so that you can evaluate them for your needs.
Entertainment
Windows 10 Home features internet protection to guard against potentially dangerous apps or websites when streaming movies or playing games.

Productivity
The Home edition includes all the familiar tools, such as Microsoft Edge, Mail, Cortana personal assistant, the familiar Windows Start Menu, digital pen and touch, and the ability to download non-Microsoft Store apps.
If you want to use Microsoft Store for Business, which allows a business to find, manage, and distribute apps to multiple devices, try Windows 10 Pro.
