Microsoft Windows 10 Professional – Phone activation

Windows 10 Professional with phone activation

This variant contains Windows 10 Professional with all the features of the Pro edition. These include BitLocker drive encryption, remote access via Remote Desktop, virtualisation with Hyper-V, joining a company domain and precise control of updates. With this variant, the product key is intended for activation by phone. The Pro edition is suitable for self-employed people, small businesses and users who use their PC for both private and business purposes and want more control over their system and data.

Operation and features

The Start menu combines the classic program list with freely arrangeable tiles, and the taskbar provides quick access to open windows and search. With virtual desktops, you can create several workspaces, for example one for accounting and one for email and research, and switch between them with one click. Windows can be snapped to the edge of the screen so that two programs fit side by side. With Windows Hello, you sign in using facial recognition, fingerprint or PIN, provided the PC has the appropriate hardware. Microsoft Edge is preinstalled as the browser, and Microsoft Defender Antivirus and Windows Firewall are included with the operating system.

Features of the Pro edition

BitLocker encrypts the drives of the PC. Customer data, business documents or stored login details then cannot easily be read without unlocking, for example if a notebook is lost or a hard disk is removed. During setup, Windows creates a recovery key, which should be kept separately from the device.

Via Remote Desktop, a PC running Windows 10 Professional can be operated from another device, with access to the programs and files installed on it. This is useful if an application is only set up on the office PC and is also to be used when working from home, or if a computer is managed remotely.

Hyper-V provides virtual machines in which another operating system or individual programs run separately from the installed Windows. This allows new software or updates to be tried out in a test environment first. Hyper-V requires the 64-bit version, a processor with SLAT support and at least 4 GB of memory.

In corporate networks, a PC running Windows 10 Professional can join an Active Directory domain. User accounts, permissions and settings are then managed centrally. Via the Windows Update policies, feature updates can be deferred for up to 365 days and quality updates for up to 30 days, for example to check compatibility with your own software in advance.
