Windows 10 Enterprise vs Windows 10 Professional

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.

Great detailed answer,  Thanks.  I'll need to do more research to determine whether the extra security features in "Enterprise" are worth the extra price.  If you know anything about those features, please post.  It would be helpful.

Credential Guard and Device Guard are listed as the special features that are not in Professional.
