4 beginner questions: Home-Pro, Recovery Drive, 32 GB eMMC, drivers
Some beginner questions about 10. Did some reading on the forums, some important questions still left. (I thought I will just wait until Threshold 2 to come out to install it)
1. Comparing Home and Pro (and Education and Enterprise): all the ISOs are the same size. I see no benefit for the Pro for my personal use over the Home. (Enterprise or Education would be nice, but it's unavailable)
Will the Home take up less space on the drive and be more fast on a slower system than the Pro?
2. I'm planning to have Windows 10 on 2 machines: one older laptop and a new "Windows with Bing" one I will buy in the near future, presumably coming with 10 preinstalled on its 32 GB eMMC drive. if I understand, WIMboot is phased out by 10 (I will upgrade, I mean, will do a clean 10 install from my 7 system; I completely skipped 8).
The question (regarding installing on the old laptop first): what's the difference between a 10 Recovery Drive created from Control Panel and the clean ISO? First I have to install from the clean ISO obviously, then I can create a Recovery Drive from Control Panel, but later can I use the same Recovery Drive USB for clean installations as well?
3. Any information on available on how Windows 10 installations work on these 32 GB small drive machines? How do I recover, do a clean install, and how do they save space by default? I understand there is a commend with which you can compress a 10 install on a large drive, but I suppose the installs on these small drives should be compressed by default, even if you do a new, clean install. I also understand that you can 'reset' Windows 10.
4. (Speaking of my upcoming small laptop with 32 GB eMMC and Bing Windows 10) Are computer manufacturers ship stock Windows 10 ISOs (you can download from Microsoft's site) or do they modify it to include their drivers (good) and crapware (bad). Sure, they have to add their drivers, but what software they provide and in what fashion altogether is not a done deal.
