Windows 10 Pro: Advantages and Considerations
Advantages: Windows 10 Pro includes advanced security features such as BitLocker encryption, Windows Defender, and device management capabilities ideal for business environments. It supports domain joining for enterprise network integration, offers remote desktop functionality for accessing your computer from anywhere, and includes Windows Sandbox for testing potentially risky software safely.
Considerations: As a seven-year-old operating system, Windows 10 Pro will reach end-of-support status in October 2025, after which security patches may become unavailable. The device is compatible with Windows 11 Pro upgrades if desired, though some users prefer the stability and familiarity of Windows 10. Software developers are gradually phasing out Windows 10 support in new applications.
Reboot IT Grade Difference: Excellent vs. Good
Our refurbished grading system for laptops provides complete transparency about cosmetic condition—note that both grades perform identically as all devices undergo identical functional testing.
Excellent Grade: Devices show only minor signs of use, with barely noticeable scuffing or abrasions, light keyboard wear, and pristine screens free from scratches, cracks, dead pixels, or discoloration. Ideal if cosmetic appearance is important for professional client-facing environments.
Good Grade: Devices display more visible scratches and wear than Excellent grade, heavier keyboard use, and possible small dings or paint chips on covers. Screens may show subtle blemishes or slight scratches but remain fully functional with no cracks. Perfect for users prioritising value and performance over cosmetic perfection, such as in casual office, educational, or home environments.
