Windows 10 Information & Tips

Windows 10 is the current version of Microsoft's end-user operating system, which comes pre-installed with most non-MAC computers these days.
There are a number of different versions of Windows 10, but the main difference between the two main types, Home & Pro, is that the Home version is a little stripped down, and limited in it's ability to connect to other networks, especially business and small home office networks. There is also an "Enterprise" version, which is pretty much the same as the Pro version, but designed more for larger companies to be mass deployed and have their licenses managed by a network based "volume license manager".
But the biggest difference that I personally consider the BIG DEAL BREAKER is that the home version will not allow RDP, Remote Desktop Protocol! In other words, you can't set it up to allow remote access/login from another computer on the network, which is a feature I use every day, all day long, and have done so for over 25 years! I could not imagine life without remote desktop access! Microsoft uses a proprietary protocol called RDP, which runs on TCP port 3389. It allows you to log into your computer from anywhere on the network as if you were sitting right in front of it, controlling it's keyboard, mouse and display! And there are hundreds if not thousands of remote desktop protocol clients(Apps) available for every operating system, so while I'm using and working on the Linux systems I do every day, I use Linux based RDP apps to connect to my Windows computers when needed. I run a virtual Windows 2012R2 Active Directory, DNS and File Services server in a headless mode(no video display, no mouse, no keyboard), so the only way I can access it to manage it directly is using one of the many remote desktop clients/apps! My personal favorite for Linux is Remmina, which not only has support for Microsoft RDP protocol, but also many many others, such as VNC, which I also use through SSH tunnels(to encrypt & protect) every day to remotely log into GUI Linux desktops throughout my house!

Here's a screenshot of my current Remmina setup:
