Do you think it worth it to pay for W-10 Pro?

I've always used the Home or whatever they called it but with 10 I'm wondering about the extra Defender tools and the ability to control updates or decline them, though I would likely not want to decline them. I read somewhere that with the home version and the anniversary update, you can manage updates to only be active when you are not working or using your computer, IIRC, choose a 12 hour block of time where MS can detect your system is usually idle and do updates at that time and never bother you with popups during the 12 hour block you choose for worktime. That is good and may be good enough considering the ability to rollback if an update causes problems.... leaving the only real concern: the extra functions of Defender available in Professional. So, all things considered would it, in your opinion, be $99 well spent or $99 blown?
Thanks,

I disconnect most of the time, thanks. What I needed to know.

If you want to use more than 16GB of RAM you need Pro.

Does the registry tweak you mention work around this:
 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/16/windows_10_will_update_whether_you_like_it_or_not_unless_you_have_enterprise_edition/
 

The registry tweak doesn't work under Win10 Home.
Under Win10 Pro, it'll prompt that updates are available... but it won't automatically download and install them.
Enterprise is not necessary.

Unplug your network cable. Works with all versions.

This is true...
If you don't want to unplug, get Win10 Pro.

I'm not sure if W10 Pro gives you the control and flexibility over e.g. Windows updates that you think it does.
 
Even on Enterprise, the options are pathetic and horribly skewed against the user.  Like I said, my dev machine has an Enterprise edition of W10 and the only option I really have is to defer the updates.  M$ screwed my machine's network settings, see my post above.  You can't chose whether or not you wish to receive updates; only 'how they are installed', i.e. does the OS reboot your system after installing them, or ask to you reboot.  As for the defer option, all that does is delay the updates for a while then you get a flood of them.
 
If I'm missing something, then please let me know, but from where I'm sitting you have no choice over installing updates, whether on Pro or Enterprise.  I think the goalposts are going to continue moving, and tbph, it fecking sucks.
 
[edit] W7 (Pro) still does give you a degree of control.  I've a ton of pending updates on my main DAW machine (which will remain as a W7 box for all time methinks), but I'm not installing any of them until such time that I've checked each and every one of them out on t'interweb, because M$ are slipping bullsh*t nagware in under the auspices of being 'essential security/windows updates'. 

I have W10 Home. If I go to control panel - system - admin tools - services, I can turn off updates. since November when I got this machine I've only had updates happen when I've shut down the machine, never while it's in use.

spoke too soon...
 

Can scroll down the above page to see the limits for Win7. One (important) caveat is that the MB architecture/BIOS may not support all of the RAM (or all overclock speeds for said RAM). What was highly nerfed was the Win7 Home Basic (8GB) and Home Premium (16GB) versions for x64. Definitely verify the MB first before assuming an OS allows more RAM.
