I'm using windows pro, because of hyperv, and gpu virtualisation. And I don't need that security feature.
And windows pro still have some benefits. The group policy, tho most of the changes can still be made in the registry.
Yep. And the average user doesn't know what a bios update is.
Oh and the average user doesn't know that windows update has bios updates from manufacturers.
