Difference Between Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional
Can someone supply me with a link to a grid or table showing the differences between Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home?
Hopefully, Windows 10 Pro offers more benefits than just the ability to do a Remote Desktop connection to the office.

But Eric is right - the biggest, or most important difference is that Home cant join a domain.

For big corporations, one of the most important benefits is able to use BitLocker to encrypt storage for Windows 10 Pro.

So the author is missing "the ability to do a Remote Desktop connection to the office" - I am not sitting in front of win10 home, but if I am not mistaken, home may remote into office machines. What doesn't work, is the other way round: home cannot be RDP server, it cannot be remoted into. So if the author (on home) starts mstsc.exe, and simply tries to connect...we would know.
Yes, I use Windows 10 Home to RDP to work on occasion. That certainly works. Free RDP clients also exist for Android, iOS, ChromeOS, MacOS, and Linux. The device you RDP to needs to be Windows Pro or better, or Windows Server OS.
