    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Yes, you can use Windows Home Edition for business purposes if it suits all your needs. Similar threads: Windows 11 Home - is it OK for commercial use? - Microsoft Community

    However, the Home editions lack certain features that are beneficial for business environments, such as BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, Group Policy management, and other enterprise-level features that are available in the Pro editions.

    If your business needs these advanced features, it might be worth considering upgrading to Windows 10 or 11 Pro. Otherwise, for basic business needs, the home edition should suffice.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
