I believe Pro includes everything, including PowerPoint stuff, no problem.

Pro is designed for business use, so you likely won't need all its features (like remote desktop) at home. For a budget-friendly option, consider going with Windows 8.1 instead.

for home users, Windows 8.1 works well. for remote access you can use TeamViewer with third-party tools, though Windows 10 combines features from both 7 and 8.1 but doesn’t have a full-screen start menu. linus review of Windows 10 published December 3, 2015 by Yongtjunkit

Another benefit of Pro versions is the capacity to operate software RAID. That’s why I chose it. My motherboard tends to disregard my 950 Pro NVMe drive when hardware RAID is enabled, so I switch to Windows 8.1 Pro to implement software RAID 1 for the remaining drives.
