According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions" rel="ugc">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions</a><br />
Windows 10 Enterprise allows BranchCache, but Windows 10 Pro<br />
does not.<br />
<br />
I was thinking BranchCache is at the 2012 R2<br />
fileserver level, did not matter what the CLIENT had.<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?

Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5 is the most feature-rich version of Microsoft 365 and consists of Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS). It provides the collaboration, productivity, automation, and security features an enterprise customer may need to support its digital business transformation initiatives in a single stock keeping unit (SKU),
which streamlines its deployment and utilization. For companies that do not need the full feature set, Microsoft offers different versions, such as the E3 SKU at a lower price point and F1 for firstline workers.

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
