any difference if installing it by bootcamp? Does it affect bootcampdrivers for Home version which will update the OS automatically?
Got a tip for us?

There's no need to get Pro for gaming. The difference between Home and Pro are about remote management, built-in encryption and support for 128+GB of RAM (and many-core computers)
The drivers needed are the same no matter which version, so Bootcamp won't care.

I got 128+ram for my iMac Pro, so better with Pro?

That was meant as more than 128GB. 128GB is supported by Home.
How many cores do you have the iMac with?
Never mind that last question. Just realised it doesn't matter either, since it's only a problem if they're in two separate sockets. Otherwise Home version supports all the cores as well

well-- I'm not sure that it's even an option... (I mistakingly, and briefly installed it using some command line tools). But Windows 10 S limits the user to installing stuff through the store, and the bootcamp drivers don't come from the store.

I thought drivers were excluded from that restriction. Regardless, isn't it still free to upgrade the S edition to Home?
yes, have to install the bootcampdrivers manually

Definitely. Unless you can get them at the same price or Pro cheaper. There's no difference that will matter to you - Or to 90% of people.
