Which version of Windows 10 is best suited for me?
Various versions and editions of Windows have been released over the years. Microsoft releases a newer version of their popular operating system every so often. Each version of Windows has multiple editions, some of which may differ in functionality. It is also the first time that Microsoft has a new way of updating with Windows 10: previously, if you wanted to upgrade, you had to buy a new CD of the latest edition of Windows. Nowadays this is no longer necessary, because you can now upgrade directly to Windows 10 from an older version of Microsoft, such as Windows 7 or 8 for example. Because Windows 10 has different forms of license and has multiple editions, it is good to know which edition you purchase and in what quantities, so that you don’t waste your money on features you don’t use. Are you curious which version of Windows 10 best suits your needs? We will answer your question below.

Windows 10 license
Windows 10 is offered under different licensing metrics. To make a good decision about which version to purchase, it is also important to know how many licenses need to be purchased. A license must be purchased per device, per user.
It is also important to know that contracts can be purchased outside the Volume License . This falls under the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) model.

Within a Microsoft Cloud Agreement, there are no Software Assurance benefits, restrictions apply in terms of downgrading rights and re-imaging rights.
