Windows 10 Editions

Windows 10 has following major editions:

Home
Pro
Enterprise
Education

There are some other editions like Enterprise LTSC and a few others but these editions are not a part of regular release. Microsoft sometimes release these editions and sometimes skips them. Besides skipping, Microsoft can replace or terminate such editions. So users should focus on regular editions which are released with each version update and get latest updates regularly.
