Windows 10 Professional or Home???
As I am about to buy a new PC I was wondering if there is any reason to get a Windows 10 Professional edition for Softimage 2015, as was originally in the system requirements.
Wouldn't a slightly cheaper Home edition suffice or would one run into all kinds of problems? Thanks in advance...

Hi Hirazi,
Windows 10 Pro if you need bitlocker or you have several computers.
For a cheaper license you can go to SCDkey (I bought 4 from them) no problems for all microsoft upgrade

OEM license
If you need Retail license it is a little bit more expensive
Cheers

So if I don't need bitlocker the Home edition will suffice?
Thanks!

We have all our PCs with Win10 Home and using Softimage 2013 and 2015 in some of them. I didn’t find any reason to use Pro.
And since OEM is only for PC manufacturers, I don’t know how legal is that.
Btw, licenses for PC assemblers is called DSP and you need to buy at least one PC component at the same time.

home version is networking limited go for pro
Re: Windows 10 Professional or Home???
I think by far, the worst issue about Home is, that you risk your computer rebooting and updating in the middle of a render. Even though its not simple, you can (almost) turn automatic updates off on pro.

@Nnois & @tarkovsky: Thanks for your advice, if only you had replied earlier: I already went for "Home"...

In personally always use LTSC versions, no updates and more important no upgrades !
