    Win 7: home 16gb RAM , pro 192gb RAM?
    « on: April 01, 2015, 03:46:22 AM »
    I'm still having a hard time choosing between Win 7: home vs pro. for home purpose computer.



    I thought I read Win 7: home limits you to 16gb of RAM anf pro 192gb?



    I assume this is the amount of RAM you put in your MOBO?



    Other then then this and the encryption thing with Win 7.  Does anyone realy see an advantage to using Win 7 pro. for home use?  Or just buy the home premium?

    Unless you plan to use features specifically unavailable in Home Premium (such as more than 16GB of RAM or features such as BitLocker) Home Premium should meet your needs fine.

    I cannot think of any particularly good reason to get Windows 7 Pro for a typical Home User.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    But no need to worry. It only refers to RAM, not storage.
    As BC said, unlikely a home user would ever need more RAM.
