I have Win 7 Ultimate, so I would be getting Windows 10 Pro. The following is added to Pro, but not in Home. Let me know what they all mean exactly.
 
 
1) Domain Join Services

2) BitLocker Drive Encryption

3) Remote Access Services

4) Group Policy editor
 

5) Windows Update for Business:  <----  This one is self explanatory.        ;)

    1) Domain Join Services
    You can take your PC/laptop, and connect it to your work domain controller, or if you're a weirdo that's running a DC on a home lan (who, me?). Win Home editions can't join a domain.

    2) BitLocker Drive Encryption
    Using a TPM chip or USB stick, you can encrypt your drives. Home doesn't offer this option

     
    3) Remote Access Services
    You can use remote desktop/RDP to connect to the machine. Home still supports Remote Assistance connections, but someone must be at the machine to accept the connection. If you need remote desktop access on a Win Home machine, you'll need to use VNC or another third-party solution

    4) Group Policy editor
    Another part of the Windows domain controller bits. While you can use it to change settings on a local machine without a DC, it's a little beyond what any Home user would need. Since you can't join Win Home to a DC, you can't use any of the DC's Group Policy settings anyway.

    5) Windows Update for Business:  <----  This one is self explanatory.        ;)

    In previous versions Home supported only one physical processor whereas pro supported two processors. I do not know if this is still the case.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA
