Windows 11 Editions and their differences

Hi,


I tried to know about Windows 11 Editions and differences among all.

There are various links. Most of links say,

  • Windows 11 Home
  • Windows 11 Pro
  • Windows 11 Education
  • Windows 11 Enterprise
  • Windows 11 Pro Education
  • Windows 11 Pro for Workstations
  • Windows 11 Mixed Reality

But still, it’s not satisfactory.


Please let us know, what editions of Windows 11 are available and what are differences among them.

If any references from Microsoft, please share.


With Regards
NndnG

    Hi NndnG 

     

    Windows 11 Home is intended for consumer users, while the Pro edition has additional networking and security features such as the ability to join a domain and BitLocker for drive encryption.

     

    Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions have the same features but come with different licenses. Pro edition has a unique retail key while Enterprise uses the VLK (Volume License Key) that allows the large organization to use a single key to install and activate from VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool).

     

    For more information, I found some useful links for your reference as below:
