Windows 10 Enterprise vs Windows 10 Professional

Question

Multipart Question: We are a 65 person organization. Knowing that Windows Enterprise is targeted towards larger orgs, when it comes to Windows 10 Enterprise vs Windows 10 Professional - what works best with Safeguard? 
 Also, we are at Safeguard Server 7. Should we upgrade to Safeguard Server 8? There is a new 7.X client that works with Windows 10, but I don't want to set myself for future problems. 
 This begs the question, how hard is it to upgrade a SafeGuard server?

Hey Adam, 
 Thanks for the query. 
 When it comes to SafeGuard, Windows 10 Pro will work the same as Windows 10 Enterprise, the only difference really is how centrally configurable your version of Window 10 is: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/WindowsForBusiness/Compare 
 SafeGuard Enterprise 8 isn't out yet so stick with version 7 for the time being (it should be released soon after dogfooding). 
 There's a 7.00.2.35 client you can download from your MySophos account, that not only supports Windows 10 but also Windows 10 Th2. 
 It's really simple to upgrade a SafeGuard server, the documentation for version 8 isn't available yet but check out section 4 in the Upgrade Guide for version 7 here to get an idea of what's required: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/sgn_7_bpg_eng_upgrade_best_practice.pdf?la=en 
 I hope that helps Adam, but do let me know if you have any further questions on that.
