Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is different from Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home
Carlo - At this time Windows 10 Pro for Workstations has not been through testing with our engineers and is not listed on our System Requirements. I have not been given any time frame or information on the status of this operating system at this time. Once testing is performed on a new operating system, our system requirements are updated to reflect those changes.

Carlo, Why run BW on WIN10WS class hardware? I have 2 PCs of workstation hardware class and the primary function is desktop publishing and CAD.
Do you already have OS ?
are there options in WIN10WS that you must have for your BW install?
Just curious
The hardware we have is actually server grade. We went ahead and bought it with Windows Server 2016.
There are things I don't quite like about Server 2016 which pushed me to look at Windows 10 Pro for Workstations as an alternative.
I know Windows 10 Pro has a limit of one user connection for remote desktop.
If Windows 10 Pro for Workstations allows us to have concurrent multi-user connections for BW 2018, that would be great.
Can Sage test this scenario?
what I know about WIN10WS , I highly doubt it will support multi concurrent connections.
As like with the other operating systems, Sage will test in a peer to peer environment. But the limitation is going to be the same - 4 concurrent users in a peer to peer environment. In a peer to peer environment you using the Workgroup (WG) engine of Pervasive. If you need more then 4 concurrent users, then you need to upgrade to the Pervasive Client Server (CS) engine - which requires to be install on a server that is Windows Server software.
Thanks,
