    How many concurrent connections file shared in Windows 10 Home support


    I know that the connection limit for a file share in Windows 10 Professional is 20 concurrent connections, does anyone know how many concurrent connections a file shared in Windows 10 Home can support?

    The limit of 20 is not only in the OS, it's also specifically stated in the EULA. Run Winver and click on the 'Microsoft Software Licence Terms' link. You will see that both Home and Pro will display the same Retail EULA, this one:

    Microsoft said:
    Device connections. You may allow up to 20 other devices to access the software installed on the licensed device for the purpose of using the following software features: file services, print services, Internet information services, and Internet connection sharing and telephony services on the licensed device.
