Windows 10 Editions - Feature Comparison and Differences

 and Bitlocker is included with the Pro edition like it was with Windows 8 (but not Win7).
This alone will probably drive us upgrading, very glad to see it didn't change.
The only thing in Enterprise I'd like to see in Pro would be AppLocker.  I don't really care about the others, but this SRP fan would love to see what AppLocker can do.

Windows 10 Features have been widely covered by tech websites, whether we're talking about highly anticipatedadditions like Cortana, Microsoft Hello, the Edge browser, and virtual desktops (which will each be available across all Windows 10 editions).But up to this point, not much has been said about the differences between Windows 10editions and what features are included. Luckily, Microsoft has now released a full matrix comparing Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions @http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/Compare. Of note: Only Windows 10 Enterprise editions will be able to take advantage ofthe Long Term Servicing Branch style updates, but the Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions will be able to use Windows Update for Business. Also, features like AppLocker, BranchCache, Direct Access, Credential...

  • Bought elements 10 last month and can't use the edit feature.

    So I got elements 10 with a Wacom Bamboo Capture around April 23rd last month. I created a new adobe id and signed in. It asked me to update my account and add my birthday, personal URL for photoshop, and agree to the terms. Everytime I've tried to do this during the past few weeks I always get an error/failure message. I acknowledge that photoshop is moving to revel and that's probably the reason why I can't complete my sign in. I've already asked adobe with a live chat and they suggested I come here to the forums. Is there any way to use the edit feature now? ele

    Just don't use the welcome screen. If you use Windows, go into the program files or program files(x86) for 64-bit systems, find the actual .exe/application file for the editor, right click it and make a desktop shortcut and use that instead of the welcome screen to launch the editor. For macs, it's in applications>adobe photoshop elements 10>support files.

  • Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
    To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
    Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
    Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
    I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
    Good Luck.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

    That certainly doesn't sound right, but it's such a fundamental part of file sharing that it needs further investigation.
    First thing to check is whether guest logins are available, and whether you're actually logging in as a guest rather than a registered user when the incorrect password is used.
    The server's logs (or Server Admin) should be able to confirm this.
    While I might expect an incorrect password to reject the login, if you have guest access you're essentially saying you don't care about authentication anyway, so it might be the issue.
    The second thing to check is whether the same happens on other forms of login to the server, e.g. ssh, SMB, etc.
    That will help identify whether the problem relates to AFP or something more global on the server (e.g. there may be a local account for userA and userB that's being used rather than the Open Directory account you expect.

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

  • Video Editing feature in latest version of Photoshop CS6 does not exist/work. How do I fix this problem?

    Hi everyone! I downloaded CS6 for a graphic design class that I was taking. I later found out that you could edit videos with the essentials portion of CS6 since it no longer has to be extended like in CS5. I went to import some videos from bridge and bridge would not allow me to do so. I also tried to open the files in Photoshop and I as I was looking at the type of files that I could open like quicktime files, wmv., mov., etc., I could not find anything relating to opening videos. The only thing that showed up were types of image files to open. Did I buy a faulty version of this program? Is there a way to get the video editing feature back on here or do I have to breakdown and buy Photoshop essentials separately?
    Thank you!

    Try dropping the video file on CS6 it should open.  Maks sure CS6 is up to date. Version 13.0.6 Mac version 13.0.1.3 Windows Version 13.1.2 subscription. Also post you CS6 menu Help>System Info... Copy and paste here.  You can see  have the subscription version and use Windows 7....

  • Windows Indexing - What is It, and How Can it Affect Me?

    What is Windows Indexing, how do I use it, and why might it be getting in the way, when I am doing Video editing?
    Well, most versions of Windows has a feature, called Windows Indexing. This is a little application that roams your system, looking for files, that it can Index, so that Searches are quicker. For many computers, it causes no problems, as it goes about looking at your DOC, and TXT files, compiling indexes to speed up Searches, especially for content. When it’s working, it’s behind the scenes, and usually causes no problems. When a DOC or TXT file changes, or is created, it will Lock that file, while it searches through its content for future Searching.
    Now, when one is doing Video editing, they are working with some large files. Windows Indexing cannot glean anything from the AV files, or from the various working files, that an NLE (Non Linear Editor) creates, and updates constantly. The inability to extract useful info from those files does not stop Windows Indexing from trying - and trying. The files get locked, so that the user, or the NLE cannot access them, when needed. Every time that one of these files gets changed, or written, Windows Indexing will immediately Lock it, as it attempts to do its job. This can cause all sorts of issues, and many slowdowns and even program crashes.
    One can find out if they have Windows Indexing turned ON, or not. It will be ON by default. Go to My Computer and click on each HDD (Hard Disk Drive), both internal and external, and then Rt-click, choosing Properties. In most versions of Windows, the Windows Indexing status will be shown near the bottom of the drop-down menu.
    This differs by version, but one can usually turn it OFF for the entire HDD, or can limit it to just certain folders. I turn it OFF, as I mostly do Video and image editing on my computers, but some do leave it on, but just for folders with their DOC and TXT files, as it does speed up Searches, and Windows Indexing can speed those up, for the DOC, TXT and some similar files.
    Hope that this explains why one might be getting “access denied,” “file locked,” and other errors, or major slowdowns, especially when working with large AV files, or perhaps when writing a DVD to a folder. Also, Render files can get locked by Windows Indexing, as it struggles to do its job.

    Noel Carboni just posted some comments on Windows Indexing on the Photoshop Forum. Though there are some differences in the files being indexed, and some of the ramifications, I thought the info useful, so am adding it here:
    Disable Indexing
    Indexing is supposed to make it quick and easy to find things on your computer using Windows Search (that little box at the upper-right of Explorer windows).
    But when you think about it, does it make sense to read all the files on your disk, extract everything you could possibly want to search for, and store it on that same disk another way?  To even consider indexing providing better performance than just searching the files, Microsoft must be picking and choosing the data they think you'll want to look for (excluding data you WON'T want to search for), where you'll want to search, and in what kinds of files, and in fact they are.  How could they know everything you'll ever want to search for?
    They can't.  Not everything is indexed, and never will be!
    Try this:  Create a simple text file on your disk, in a temporary folder.  Call it "FindMe.log" and put in the text "This file contains important tax information".  Now navigate to that folder with Explorer and enter the word "tax" into the Search box at the upper-right.  Enter any of the words in that file!  Windows Search will not find the file, because it simply does not LOOK in .log files by default, and there's no fallback strategy - Windows Search simply does not index nor search for information for some kinds of files. Incredible!
    All it takes is ONE TIME searching for something you know is there and NOT finding it to destroy your confidence in Windows Search.
    And so they scan through your files endlessly, pick out the strings you might someday search for, and store them in yet another set of files (the "index").  As though your computer has nothing better to do.
    Not only is the basic premise of this wrong, but it's not even implemented very well.  The index often becomes corrupted, and so Microsoft has provided functions for you to clear and regenerate it.  Just what you wanted to be doing - NOT.
    Consider these shortcomings:
    Some file types are simply not indexed or searched by default – e.g., .log files, and there's no fallback.  If you create a new file type no one's seen before, its contents will not be indexed.
    Only strings Microsoft thinks you are likely to search for are indexed.
    Because of poor implementation, indexing will miss things in some file types that are indexed – e.g., older Microsoft Word documents or files containing Unicode text (Microsoft's own invention).
    Indexes often become corrupted and the Windows Search results fall out of date or it stops finding things entirely.
    Indexing operations use computer time, increase disk wear, and interfere with your own access to your files.
    In summary, indexed Windows Search operations in Windows 7 simply can't be trusted to find your data in your files when it's critical, and so they're essentially useless.  Searching for filenames using Windows Search actually can be occasionally useful (though the syntax to ensure it searches only filenames is a bit tricky), but this doesn't require indexing.
    Moreover, indexing can actually interfere with file operations, causing your system to report disk corruption, because of an implementation error in indexing and NTFS (search the web for "Atomic Oplock", for example).
    So indexing should simply and utterly be disabled.  This won't actually stop you being able to try Windows Search - on the contrary with indexing off Windows 7 will actually search your actual files (within the limitations listed above) just when you tell it to, and (since indexing isn't implemented very well) it may actually INCREASE the probability that you might find what you're looking for.
    Here's how to disable indexing:
    1.        Click Start and enter services in the search box.
    2.        When Services (with little gears) comes up, click it.
    3.        Scroll down to the Windows Search service.
    4.        Right click it and choose Properties.
    5.        Change the Startup type to Disabled.
    6.        Click [ Stop ] to stop the service.
    7.        Click [ OK ].
    8.        Click Start and enter index in the search box.
    9.        When Indexing options comes up, click it.
    10.     Click the Advanced button.
    11.     Click the [ Rebuild ] button to delete the index.
    12.     It is a good idea to reboot after this.
    -Noel
    And a "thanks" to Noel for putting this together. As the thread that this originally appeared in has a lot of Photoshop material, and discussions on "other OS's" than Win7, I just exerpted this block.
