Configuration requise

Same baseline as Home (1 GHz 64-bit CPU, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, TPM 2.0, UEFI Secure Boot) plus support for BitLocker, Hyper-V, Windows Sandbox, and joining a work/school (Azure AD/Entra ID) network.

Windows 11 Pro is the default choice for freelancers, small businesses, and power users who need at least one feature Home doesn't offer: full BitLocker drive encryption controls, the built-in Hyper-V hypervisor for running VMs without third-party software, hosting incoming Remote Desktop connections, joining a Windows domain or Entra ID (Azure AD) tenant, and Windows Sandbox for a disposable, throwaway Windows environment to test unknown software in. It shares Windows 11's same hardware floor (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, an approved CPU) and the same roughly-annual feature update cadence as Home.

Les dates de sortie, les périodes de support et la configuration requise proviennent des pages officielles de cycle de vie de Microsoft et d'Apple (liées ci-dessus) — vérifiez-y toujours avant de vous en servir pour une décision de déploiement en production ou en entreprise, les politiques de support pouvant changer occasionnellement.
