jbm Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think that home premium would be ok, But I haven't used all the software you mention.Have you tried microsofts compatability tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 There are features that you get with Ultimate, for example, that you don't get with Home Premium. However, the running of applications themselves, or the ability to use the RAM, is not different between the two versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Buy the Professional Edition if you want to upgrade the RAM later to 24GB. The Home Premium is limited to 16GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyagain Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Only buy the Professional level SKU's so that you can implement LUA + SRP security ... which everyone should be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
