Windows 7 Editions
Sheena Alsobrook
Microsoft Windows is a computer operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in 1985 as a graphical operating system built on MS-DOS. The initial version was followed by several subsequent releases, and by the early 1990s, the Windows line had split into two separate lines of releases: Windows 9x for consumers and Windows NT for businesses and enterprises. In the following years, several further variants of Windows would be released: Windows CE in 1996 for embedded systems; Pocket PC in 2000 (renamed to Windows Mobile in 2003 and Windows Phone in 2010) for personal digital assistants and, later, smartphones; Windows Holographic in 2016 for AR/VR headsets; and several other editions.
Windows MultiPoint Server was an operating system based on Windows Server. It was succeeded by the MultiPoint Services role in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server version 1709. It was no longer being developed in Windows Server version 1803 and later versions.
In 2012 and 2013, Microsoft released versions of Windows specially designed to run on ARM-based tablets; these versions of Windows, named "Windows RT" and "Windows RT 8.1," were based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, respectively. Upon the release of Windows 10 in 2015, the ARM-specific version for large tablets was discontinued; large tablets (such as the Surface Pro 4) were only released with x86 processors and could run the full version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile had the ability to be installed on smaller tablets (up to nine inches);[26] however, very few such tablets were released, and Windows 10 Mobile primarily ended up only running on smartphones until its discontinuation. In 2017, the full version of Windows 10 gained the ability to run on ARM, thus rendering a specific version of Windows for ARM-based tablets unnecessary.
Windows 10 Business is a set of cloud services and device management capabilities that complement Windows 10 Pro and enable the centralized management and security controls of Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
I believe this is done when signing in a Business Premium user. It does not affect it in a noticeable way to the end users, so I do not worry about it. It is possible to disable it in 365 Admin Center, in each user you would have to go to Licensing, and then the drop down for Available Apps, and clearing the check box for Windows 10/11 Business.
That depends on context. Microsoft uses the term Windows 10 Business also sometime as a category for a set of Windows 10 editions categorized as business. These are at least Pro, Enterprise, Workstation. It excludes the Home and the S editions.
But the OP asked about Windows 10, not Windows 11. I know that I have read documentation and system requirements on Microsoft sites from Microsoft for documentation on their products or services. Some of these specified a Business edition of Windows 10 before the release of Windows 11 and specified which editions are categorized as Business edition. There was no requirement of any add-ons.
I'm trying to find a source control for my own personal use that's as simple as possible. The main feature I need is being able to read/pull a past version of my code. I am the only developer. I've looked at a lot of different version control systems, but they all seem way more complicated than I need. I need one that's simple, runs under Windows, and doesn't expose itself to the network.
Specifically, the version control system should not require exposing an HTTP interface, it should interact with the local filesystem only. It just needs to be a version control system geared for one guy and one guy only. Graphical UI is a plus.
From what I understand, and at the risk of sounding like a fanboy, you might want to consider a DVCS (distributed version control system) like git or mercurial. They essentially take away the central repository part, so it should be ideal to use when you're a solo developer.
If you're windows based and are used to a shell plugin like TortoiseSVN I'd pick mercurial. Their windows integration is just a bit better than git's, using TortoiseHg. The git counterpart (cheetah) is on hold at the moment, due to the developer getting sick and tired of all the demands people were making ;-)
If DVCS is too exotic for this situation you could always rely on SVN. I've heard good stories about the already mentioned VisualSVN solution. Install, make some repositories and go. Install TortoiseSVN for shell integration, or perhaps Subclipse or ankhSVN for eclipse and visual studio, respectively.
Note: I have not actually tried git or mercurial in a real life project, just some test setups. I now have a simple project WITH version control (using mercurial in my case), without having to have access to a central repository.
Like all version control systems, it will sound reasonably complex when you start off, but it's really very simple once you get into it, works well for a single developer, and doesn't require any network access if you don't want it to.
For what it's worth, you can use Subversion & TortoiseSVN without a server using file:/// URLs to connect to you repository. I've done this to create repositories on USB thumb drives that I can move from machine to machine.
No need for a server component and if you do decide to host it somewhere your repository is signed and cannot be modified by the hoster without you seeing it. Finally, moving the repo to a server is a easy "push" operation which keeps all of your history.
I like to use Google Code, even for my one man projects, as it provides a Subversion repository already set up. Also, the server is offsite, which protects against hard drive failures and other disasters.
All the previous suggestions are pretty simple, and I know cvs is a bit out of vogue these days, but I like to use it's local mode for a repository that doesn't even need a server to install or set up. The repository can be anywhere on your hard drive. I have mine on a memory stick to have access to it anywhere even without an internet connection.
There is no requirement by Subversion to run on a server, I actually run it on my local machine and keep my repositories on a separate drive. Connecting to the repository uses svn:// instead of I'm not sure why you require that it does not expose itself to the network, but this would be a matter of security via obscurity. I'm sure networking experts could suggest better methods for locking it down, should that be necessary.
Any distributed revision control system is best for lone developers, like git or Mercurial. Best thing is you can incorporate more developers to your project seamlessly, as opposed to having to give them access to your main centralized SVN or CVS repository.
I came here looking for the same thing, and I saw someone suggest Google Code. I tried it out, and it was brain dead easy to set up. Exactly what I was looking for. Works like a charm with TortoiseSVN (my favorite).
I haven't seen anyone mention Perforce. Perforce allows you to use their software for up-to 2 users for free. You can run the server and clients in the same machine, which will give you the environment that you want.

Windows versions designated as Windows N and KN editions are missing Windows Media Player and related technologies needed to decode and play videos and music properly. Microsoft offers a Windows Media Feature Pack that you can download and install, to add this functionality.
On Windows 11 the latest Media Feature Pack can be added as an Optional Feature from Windows Settings. To add the Media Feature Pack:Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps > Optional features. Select View features next to Add an optional feature, and then select the Media Feature Pack in the list of available optional features. For more information, see Microsoft's Media Feature Pack article.
I've had to reset my Surface Pro 7 (SP7) because the touchscreen and windows hello kept having issues. I went to reset my copy of Windows 11 Pro through using Windows Settings but during the reset it got stuck in a loop and wouldn't complete the reset.
I then did a hard reset (I couldn't get into the computer as it was looping that there was a problem and trying to install again) to bypass this loop. By hard resetting I was finally about to reinstall Windows 11.
Windows 11 Home ended up installed I've tried using the store (which prompted me to install Pro license) it bombed with an error. So, I've tried this method, and the same thing. It bombs showing installing the Pro license and then I go into reboot where it states I'm updating but then it bombs and says it's going to roll back (which is Windows 11 Home).
I can't seem to be able to install the Pro license. I have noticed that every time I try to install the pro license the Virus protection pops up after the above happens and states that the msi file is a threat and removes it.
@angelobio This worked for me also with an additional step. I also needed to go into Check for Updates and apply all of them -- especially the 2022-08 cumulative updates for arm64-based processors. After that, I finally activated as well. Thanks so much!
