Any reason?
I only ask because I have home premium on my laptop and I think it's fine. Dual boot it with any linux distro im trying most of the time.DevOps Engineer and Security Champion. https://blog.pash.by - I am trying to find my writing style, so please bear with me. -

Great point. For labbing just about anything you'll want join domain support. If you have any MS certs lined up consider that.CCNP | CCIP | CCDP | CCNA, CCDA

Yeh I mean thats the only reason why, for domain support. I don't run a domain on my home network (only in vm's), so i wouldnt miss that support.DevOps Engineer and Security Champion. https://blog.pash.by - I am trying to find my writing style, so please bear with me. -
