Windows 10 Pro Vs Pro N: What’s The Difference Between Them

Windows 10 Pro vs Pro N: Review

The 12 editions of Windows 10 are provided by Microsoft with different feature sets, use cases, or intended devices. You can hardly tell which edition is better unless you have special needs. I found people are wondering what the differences are between some editions, Windows 10 Pro vs Pro N, for instance, so I’d like to talk about it.

Windows 10 Pro license vs Windows 10 Pro N

Have recently built a couple of servers with Windows 10 pro and wanted to try Windows 10 pro N to see how it differs. I have however discovered that a normal Windows 10 pro license doesn’t work with Windows 10 Pro N.

Is there any way I can make this work? Or anywhere I can get just the Activation code for Pro N?

Many thanks.
