If you work in DaVinci Resolve Studio on Windows 10, which Windows 10 do you run? Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro?

Pro.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Pro has some extra network capabilities and security enhancements Plus you have greater control of windows upgrades, but if you don't need that home version works very well.

At the time, Pro offered greater memory capacity (up to 128 GB) than Home did.

Ricardo, thank you. Which extra network capabilities and security enhancements are important for you?

I didn’t want to discover restrictions or shortcomings down the track.
I didn’t realise the RAM until Jim mentioned - I am now running 128.

I use Pro because I'm mainly a developer (rather than a video editor) and I need Hyper-V virtualization, Remote Desktop, Windows Sandbox and BitLocker cryptography.
