My computer specs are pretty good—should I go with Windows 10 or 11?

My setup is a 12600KF with a MSI B760M motherboard, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and an XFX 3060 Ti. I mainly use it for coding, running services, and gaming (CS2, LoL, etc.). I’m torn between Windows 10 and Windows 11. If I go with Windows 11, should I choose 23H2, 24H2, or 25H2? Also, should I go with the Pro edition or another version? Looking for advice.

    Choose Windows 11 23H2 for stability and proven performance. Keep your OS updated to newer H2 builds (like 24H2 or 25H2) when they become stable and recommended, especially if they include features beneficial for your workflow.

    Considering the Windows 10 ESU is ending in a couple of months, I'd suggest going with Windows 11 25H2 to remain supported.

    As for editions, Home is enough for your use cases.
